Plant Physiology and Development (7th Ed.) by Taiz, Møller, Murphy, and ZeigerDownload Plant Physiology and Development (7th edition) by Lincoln Taiz, Ian Max Møller, Angus Murphy, and Eduardo Zeiger.

Plant Physiology and Development (7th Edition) by Lincoln Taiz, Ian Max Møller, Angus Murphy, and Eduardo Zeiger is an authoritative text that bridges foundational plant physiology with modern insights into plant development and adaptation. This edition combines classic topics—such as water and nutrient transport, photosynthesis, and plant hormones—with new discoveries in genetics and molecular biology, highlighting how plants sense, grow, and respond to their environments.

Designed with clear explanations, vivid illustrations, and the latest research updates, it is an essential resource for students, educators, and professionals seeking a deep understanding of plant science in an era of rapid scientific advancement.

The Seventh Edition also addresses a new temporal element the future of plant biology. It is no longer controversial to state that human civilization has become unsustainable. The extraction and combustion of fossil fuels, release of manufacturing byproducts, intensive animal farming, and destruction of tropical and boreal ecosystems have, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), produced the greatest accumulation of atmospheric greenhouse gases since the Mid-Pliocene Warm Period, 3.6 million years ago.

This process, which began during the Industrial Revolution in the early 19th century, and which was greatly accelerated in the mid- 20th century, has raised the average surface temperatures a full 1˚C above the preindustrial average. This seemingly small temperature rise is occurring so rapidly that it is taking a toll on the world’s biodiversity.

The Seventh Edition of Plant Physiology and Development continues efforts within the plant biology community to integrate plant physiology and development as complementary and inseparable areas of learning in a coherent text that provides a comprehensive understanding of plant processes for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students.

With the availability of Fundamentals of Plant Physiology, a comprehensive and rigorous textbook generated by the same authors and aimed at undergraduate classes with outcomes that include less molecular genetics and biochemistry, Plant Physiology and Development can focus on a student audience where these areas of expertise are important learning outcomes for classes and curricula.
