Plant Electrochemistry

Texte du rabat

The book comprehensively views the intersection between electrochemistry and botany. It attempts to inform people about the capacity of electrochemistry to provide information of interest to plant science. This includes electrophysiology, plant communication, and plant defense responses, as well as chemoecological and phylogenetic aspects.
