Science Application & Integration


Plant Physiology

Plant physiology is the study of internal plant activities including phytochemistry, environmental interactions, plant morphology, molecular and cell biology, and cellular interactions.

Plant Physiology is this subjects most notable journal and includes most of the information a reader would ever be curious to know about plant functions and processes, the effects that plants have on their surroundings and the way plants react to their environments.
