It gives us and publisher, a great pleasure and satisfaction to put this book in the hands of S. Y. B. Sc. Botany students & teachers of Kavayitri Bahinabai Chaudhari, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon.
This text has been written according to the new syllabus of S. Y. B. Sc. of Kavayitri Bahinabai Chaudhari, North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon, which has been implemented from the academic year 2019-20. The book is primarily meant for S. Y. B. Sc. students of Kavayitri Bahinabai Chaudhari North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon.
The writing of this book strongly influenced by the major purpose to help the students to understand the fundamental nature of Plant Physiology. 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 our level best to bring out the quality text book with up to date information, sticking to syllabus. This matter has been augmented with suitable diagrams, illustrations. Each chapter is followed by objective questions, short answer questions and long answer questions. Glossary and model question paper are given at the end. We hence, believe that students of S. Y. B. Sc. Botany will certainly like and appreciate this book. Though extreme care has been taken while writing, editing and proof reading of the book, some mistakes might have crept into the book. The teachers and the taught are requested to point out such mistakes to us. It will be highly appreciated.
