Plant Physiology and Development incorporates the latest advances in plant biology, making it the most authoritative and widely used upper-division plant biology textbook. Up-to-date, comprehensive, and meticulously illustrated, the seventh edition features improved integration of developmental material throughout, providing the best educational foundation possible for the next generation of plant biologists.

This updated edition includes current information to improve understanding while maintaining the core structure of the book. Figures have been revised and simplified wherever possible. To eliminate redundancy, stomatal function (Chapter 10 in the previous edition) has been reassigned to other chapters. In addition, a series of feature boxes related to climate change are also included in this edition.

An enhanced e-Book with embedded self-assessment, Web Topics and Web Essays, and Study Questions is available with this edition.
