Basic Growth Analysis

An introductory textbook for students, offering a condensed yet detailed overview of the principles and practise of plant growth analysis. Each topic is explained by the use of standardized accounts of each growth analytical concept, and there are questions and answers to aid experimental design. The book gives concise outlines on the design and implementation of growth experiments, and clear guidelines to the interpretation of results. This, together with supporting commentary, facilitates full assessment of the performance of whole plant systems and plant cell cultures grown under natural, semi-natural and controlled conditions.
