Outlines the extensive history and use since the dawn of civilization of alliums, as well as the understanding of their botany and chemistry.

Explains how natural selection, combined with methods in statistical physics, can predict and explain the assembly of ecological communities.

Covers various aspects of plant cell biology without emphasizing any one plant, organelle, molecule, or technique. This book explains the physiological underpinnings of biological processes to bring original insight related to plants. It includes examples to bring understanding to plant cell development, growth, chemistry and diseases.

Shows us how to put food back at the centre of the political and family agenda. This title is part memoir, part journalistic investigation, and is full of original recipes.

The field of redox is changing, specifically in relation to plants where redox reactions are exacerbated compared to non-photosynthetic organisms. This title presents research on oxidative stress in plants, ranging from the production of reactive oxygen species to their accumulation, their involvement in signal transduction, and their degradation.

There have been major developments in the field of plant-microbe interactions. This book explores these discoveries, focusing on the mechanisms controlling plant disease resistance, the cross-talk among the pathways involved and the strategies used by the pathogens to suppress these defences.

.

A comprehensive manual of phytobacteriology. It starts by briefly outlining the history and science of bacteriology and gives an overview of the diversity and versatility of bacteria. It discusses the epidemiology and economic importance of bacterial diseases and strategies for their prevention and control in order to reduce crop losses.

A unique resource book on this important plant organ, which will remain germane for many years to come.

A botany text by Charles Darwin's mentor, an inspirational professor who investigated the nature and stability of 'species'.

Trees are a dominant feature of life on earth, and yet are under severe threat. This book gathers together aspects of trees, forests, their development, environments and ecology. It is suitable for students in plant science, plant biology, ecology and conservation.
