Frontmatter includes translator's notes, a preface to the third American edition, and a brief table of contents. The book covers the biology of plants, starting with an introduction and delving into the plant cell's structure and function. It explores molecular architecture, substance transport, energy flow, respiration, and photosynthesis. The genetics and evolution section covers molecular and classical genetics, as well as the emergence of plant species. The diversity of organisms is examined, categorizing them into prokaryotes, fungi, heterotrophic and autotrophic protists, bryophytes, vascular plants, and flowering plants, along with their evolutionary history. The structure and development of angiosperms are detailed, including early developmental stages, cellular and tissue organization, root and shoot development, and secondary growth. Growth regulation and responses are discussed, focusing on phytohormones and external factors affecting plant growth. Nutrient uptake and transport are covered, addressing soil and plant nutrition, as well as the transport of water and solutes. The ecology section analyzes ecosystem dynamics and terrestrial biomes. Additional sections provide essential chemical knowledge, size and units, organism classification, geological eras, terminology explanations, further reading, image credits, and an index.
