Since the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Physiology was published, there has been a continuous stream of groundbreaking discoveries in plant and crop physiology. The fourth edition of this esteemed handbook, like its predecessors, presents a unique, comprehensive, and thorough exploration of the field. Divided into eleven sections, this edition ensures easy access to information, with over 90 percent new content, substantial revisions, and two new sections.

The handbook delves into the physiology of plant and crop growth and development, encompassing cellular and molecular aspects, plant genetics, and production processes. It sheds light on plant and crop growth responses to climatic changes, exploring the potential for adaptation and the use of biotechnological approaches to improve plant and crop performance.

This invaluable resource is designed to assist planners, implementers, and evaluators in developing strategies to enhance plant growth and crop yield. It features numerous tables, figures, case studies, and illustrations, along with an extensive index of keywords, further enhancing the accessibility of the information contained within.

Notable additions to the fourth edition include 37 new chapters and 13 extensively revised and expanded chapters from the previous edition. These chapters cover various topics, including soil-plant-water-nutrients-microorganisms physiological relations, plant growth regulators, and the physiological responses of lower plants, vascular plants, and crops to metal-based nanoparticles, agrichemicals, climate change, and environmental stresses.

The Handbook of Plant and Crop Physiology remains a cornerstone for researchers, students, and professionals in the field of plant and crop physiology, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date reference for understanding the complex mechanisms underlying plant growth and development.
