Synopsis The treatise on Plant Physiology and Plant Molecular Biology, as Volume 5, Advances in Plant Physiology, reinforces to put into practice the outcome of conscientious research in some of the very practical and electrifying areas of plant physiology – biochemistry-plant molecular physiology/biology for scientific future planning to really make direct move towards consequential research for making feasible the qualitative and quantitative productivity of all beneficial crops in the twenty-first century. This is indeed for the reason of expected twofold increase in the human populace by the year 2025. Besides these, the book also inspires us to be conscious enough upon the two lines of investigation, practical and fundamental, which must always go hand in hand. There can never be a logical parting of these two aspects of our science. Correspondingly, there can never be a rational separation of the pure physiologists from the practical physiologists. Our tasks are one and we must learn to march together in our performance! This volume appears to be unique in several ways especially by inclusion of a few but imperative new sections, viz., Plant Mineral Nutrition-Physiological and Molecular Mechanism; Imaging Techniques in Plant Physiology and Crop Physiology having remarkable aspects covered opulently.
