Marschner's Mineral Nutrition of Plants (4th Ed.)

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Rengel Zed, Cakmak Ismail, White Philip John

Couverture de l’ouvrage Marschner's Mineral Nutrition of Plants

An understanding of the mineral nutrition of plants is of fundamental importance in both basic and applied plant sciences. The fourth edition of this book retains the aim of the first in presenting the principles of mineral nutrition in the light of current advances.

Marschner's Mineral Nutrition of Plants, 4th Edition, is divided into two parts: Nutritional Physiology and Plant?Soil Relationships. In Part I, emphasis is put on uptake and transport of nutrients in plants, root?shoot interactions, role of mineral nutrition in yield formation, stress physiology, water relations, functions of mineral nutrients and contribution of plant nutrition to food nutritional quality, disease tolerance, and global nutritional security of human populations. In view of the increasing interest in plant?soil interactions. Part II focuses on the effects of external and internal factors on root growth, rhizosphere chemistry and biology, soil-borne ion toxicities, and nutrient cycling.

Now with color figures throughout, this bookcontinues to be a valuable reference for plant and soil scientists and undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of plant nutrition, nutritional physiology, and soil fertility.

Part I. Nutritional Physiology 1. Introduction, definition and classification of nutrients 2. Ion-uptake mechanisms of individual cells and roots: short-distance transport 3. Long-distance transport in the xylem and phloem 4. Uptake and release of elements by leaves and other aerial plant parts 5. Mineral nutrition, yield, and source-sink relationships 6. Functions of macronutrients 7. Micronutrients 8. Beneficial elements 9. Mineral nutrition on crop quality 10. Relationship between mineral nutrition, plant diseases and pests 11. Diagnosis and prediction of deficiency and toxicity of nutrients

Part II. Plant-Soil Relationships 12. Nutrient availability in soils 13. Genetic and environmental regulation of root growth and development 14. Rhizosphere chemistry influencing plant nutrition 15. Rhizosphere biology 16. Nitrogen fixation 17. Nutrient-use efficiency 18. Plant responses to soil-borne ion toxicities 19. Nutrition of plants in a changing climate

20. Nutrient and carbon fluxes in terrestrial agroecosystems

Plant scientists from the disciplines of plant nutrition, physiology and breeding as well as soil scientists and agronomists with interest in nutrition of plants; advanced undergraduate/graduate students studying plant nutrition and soil fertility.
Further target audiences are professionals involved in food security and climate change research programs.
Professor Zed Rengel earned his PhD at the Louisiana State University in the United States in 1988. He worked as postdoc and then Research Fellow at the University of Adelaide, Australia. In 1996, he transferred to the University of Western Australia in Perth, and has been the full professor of soil science and plant nutrition since 2001. Zed was awarded 13 prizes and awards (including Humboldt Research Award and Fulbright Senior Scholar Award), 11 fellowships (eg. Humboldt, OECD, Japanese STA, French Government), 4 Honorary Professorships and 6 Visiting Professorships (eg. Cornell-USA, Okayama-Japan, KVL-Denmark, Gissen-Germany). He was elected a Foreign Fellow of Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences and was bestowed the Honorary Doctorate by the University of Zagreb. Zed is the author/co-author of 300+ publications in peer-refereed international journals and 37 invited book chapters. He edited 7 books and 6 Journal Special Issues.
Ismail Cakmak received his PhD at the University Hohenheim in Stuttgart, Germany under the guidance of the late Prof Dr.Horst Marschner. Dr. Cakmak had a research collaboration with Prof Marschner for 12 years and they published together extensively. He is currently Professor at the Sabanci University-Istanbul, Turkey. He has published 225 peer-reviewed articles and named among the “highly cited researchers” in agricultural sciences by Clarivate Analytics. He has received IFA “International Crop Nutrition Award" in 2005, Australian Crawford Fund “Derek Tribe Medal” in 2007, Alexander von Humboldt Foundation-Georg Forster Research Award in 2014, International Plant Nutrition Institute-IPNI Science Award in 2016 and the World Academy of Sciences-Agricultural Science Prize in 2016. He is an elected member of “The Academy of Europe” and “The Science Academy” of Turkey.
Professor Philip John White FLS FRSE graduated from Oxford University with a BA in Biochemistry in 1983 and was awarded a PhD in Natural Sciences (Botany) from the Uni
