Resumen: From the bizarre, sticky fly paper tactics of carnivorous plants, to the amazing capabilities of resurrection plants and the beautiful bee orchid that uses mimicry to attract pollinators, Peter Scott´s engaging textbook celebrates plants in all their glory and provides a thought provoking introduction to how they sense and respond to their environment. Plants have to meet the same challenges as animáis in order to survive, but have evolved to overeóme these challenges in very different ways. This exciting new textbook will help first and second year biological science students get to grips with the biochemistry that underlies the behaviour of plants and appreciate them as dynamic, territorial and sometime aggressive organisms, capable of long range communication.
