It gives us an immense pleasure and satisfaction to put this book ‘Plant
Physiology’ for Semester – III in the hands of S.Y.B.Sc Botany students and

S.Y.BSc (DSC, BO-212) of Kavayitri Bahinabai Chaudhari, North Maharashtra
University, Jalgaon as per NEP 2020 which has been implemented from the

This book covers all the aspects of Plant Physiology as per syllabus. It has
been written in student friendly manner with efforts on making subject matter
up to date and concise. We have tried to make this book informative, simple and
lucid. This matter has been augmented with appropriate figures and illustrations.
Questions pertaining to the chapters are given at the end of chapters. We hence,
believe that students of S.Y.B.Sc. Botany will certainly like and appreciate this

Though extreme care has been taken while writing, editing and proof
reading of the book, some mistakes might have been left unnoticed. The proper
