Plant Physiology

Physiology is concerned with the functioning of plants. This is largely interactions between plants and their environments. As such plant physiology bridges the gap between biochemistry and ecology.

Sites in Plant Physiology

Photosynthesis sites
A collection of links to photosynthesis-related sites.
Photosynthesis Center
The Photosynthesis Center at Arizona State University is a multidisciplinary group doing research in several areas of photosynthesis. Also, links to many other related sites.
Plants-In-Motion
Well-executed, time-lapse, QuickTime movies of plant growth & development - from Indiana Univ.
Abscisic Acid.Com
A resource for information on abscisic acid, abscisic acid analogs and other related phytohormones.
Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems - Focus 1 Homepage
The ecosystem physiology program within the Global Change and Terrestrial Ecosystems Core project. Includes details of the program, conferences, publications and science highlights.
The Seed Biology Place
Seed biology: including seed germination, dormancy, after-ripening, ß-1,3-glucanase during endosperm rupture and coat-enhanced dormancy of tobacco.
Natural Environmental Research Council - UK
News involving NERC, funding opportunities, details of NERC funded science and research centers.
Plant Physiology Section of the Botanical Institute at the University of Basel
This sections contains research groups working on: ethylene, mycorrhiza, fructans and other areas.
Plant Physiology Resources
A listing of plant physiology web resources from the Australian National University Department of Biology.
Plant Physiology Links for Students and Teachers
A large number of links that might be useful to students of plant physiology.
Plantstress.com
Dedicated to plant environmental stress in agriculture and biology. The site contains news, announcements, events, original articles, a reference database, files and presentations, biotech issues, more than 400 linked web resources and a bulletin board.
Flowering Newsletter
The Flowering Newsletter is an online publication from the International Working Group on Flowering and aims to speedily report on research dealing with the flowering process.
The Abscisic Acid Site
An informational resource for the phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) - initially focused on metabolism and signaling. It is maintained at the Plant Biotechnology Institute in Saskatoon, Canada and also includes descriptions of their research programs and related material.
Phototropism
This page gives an introduction to phototropism (a plant's response to light).
Utah State University Crop Physiology Lab
The CPL is primarily funded by NASA and most research is dedicated towards optimizing the growth of several plant species, including wheat, soybean, rice, lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, and carrots for use in bio-regenerative life support systems. The lab is also involved in several non-NASA related research projects, including phytoremediation and phytotoxicity experiments.
Nitrogen fixation
This web site is not designed to be a comprehensive presentation on nitrogen fixation, but rather it is intended as a forum to present informative images that are not otherwise easily available.
Phytochemistry tutorials
A herbalist's site but contains useful information on a range of compounds synthesized by plants. Currently incomplete.
Tannin Chemistry
Contains a link to a PDF book chapter on Tannin chemistry.
Plant Hormones
A comprehensive site on plant hormones from the University of Bristol, UK.
An Outline of an Alternative Theory of Plant Hormones
This site lists Plant Hormones and their characteristics and goes on to try to provide unifying 'reasons' for their effects. It is not part of current scientific thinking.
Photosynthesis Chapter of MIT Hypertext Biology Textbook
Basic introduction to plant photosynthesis, includes brief explanations of the biochemistry involved.
Photosystem I Database
Collection of links, pictures and other useful information for photosynthesis research, particulary PSI researchers.
Plant Photobiology Notes
How plants respond to light, and the study of these responses. Links to suppliers, publishers, and journals. Spectral data for lamps and light emmiting diodes of use in this research.
Plant Physiology Online
An online companion to "Plant Physiology, Third Edition" by Lincoln Taiz and Eduardo Zeiger. Includes Essays, Topics in Plant Physiology, Study Questions and Further Readings.
