First published in 1989, Physiology of Crop Yield was the first student textbook to digest and assimilate the many advances in crop physiology, within a framework of resource capture and use. Retaining the central core of the first edition, this long-awaited second edition draws on recent developments in areas such as phenology, canopy dynamics and crop modelling, and the concepts of sustainable crop production. A broad perspective is developed, from the gene through the plant and crop to the ecosystem, covering:



  • Advances in molecular biology relating to crop science
  • Limitation of crop yield by the supply of water or nitrogen
  • Global climate change and its impact on crop modelling
  • Physiological aspects of crop quality
  • A wider range of species, with emphasis on wheat, maize and soybean


This book will be a valuable tool for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of agricultural science, plant science, applied ecology and environmental science. It will be an essential addition to all libraries in universities and relevant research establishments.

With Molecular and Cellular Exercise Physiology, you’ll gain cutting-edge information on how exercise modulates cellular physiology. You’ll be able to use that knowledge to develop better training regimens and injury-prevention and rehabilitation programs. You’ll also be able to improve performance. The book is unique in that it is the first comprehensive text to address the effects of physical activity on the cellular and molecular level.

Molecular and Cellular Exercise Physiology highlights the potential of physical training in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases while thoroughly exploring these topics:

· Fundamental cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for changes in stroke volume, blood gas homeostasis, pH alterations, blood pressure, and osmosis in response to exercise · How the exercise effects are mediated and translated into specific cellular and subcellular alterations

Recent fascinating advances in molecular techniques have extended the field of exercise physiology and enabled researchers to address the mechanisms involved on a subcellular and molecular level. Molecular and Cellular Exercise Physiology is a vital reference to help you stay on top of this exciting field.
