Description

The development of a plant is a multifaceted, dynamic phenomenon. Due to their immobility, plants respond not only to internal developmental cues, but also to changes in the prevailing environmental conditions. Climate change has increased vulnerability in plants due to increasing concentrations of CO2 and other pollutants, and fluctuations in the growing environment. These changes affect crop growth and productivity thereby posing a major risk to global food security. Physiology of Growth and Development in Horticultural Plants contains 22 chapters organized into six sections, beginning with an introduction on basic concepts of plant growth and development; followed by genetic basis of plant development; quantification of growth; and sensing and response of plants to various environmental signals. It also explores plant growth hormones and their role either singly or in combination in controlling various aspects of plant growth and development, and hormonal regulation of physiological and developmental processes. The book highlights intricate aspects of growth and development in horticultural plants with classic examples from the real world.

Dr. Bhat has worked in several universities and research organizations including Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR), The Ohio State University, Indo American Hybrid Seeds, Mahatma Phule Agricultural University, Himachal University and Punjab Agricultural University. His research focused on precision agriculture, greenhouse crop production; soilless growing systems; irrigation water and nutrient management; and characterization, documentation, mass propagation and ecophysiology of Kuwait’s native plants and, ecological restoration of degraded ecosystems. During his 27-year tenure at KISR, he was the project leader/ activity leader/ principal investigator of over 55 research projects and mentored several staff members. He also taught in-house and on-the-job training courses, and, undergraduate and graduate courses in horticulture.
