Description

When one person wishes to communicate some information directly to another person, it is essential that the two speak the same language; that is, the words and symbols must have the same meaning for both persons. Such a thought provides one motivation for the preparation of this book, which is designed to be a reference source for plant physiologists and other plant scientists who are preparing their research results for publication or other presentation. The primary goal is to provide information about the use of units, symbols, and terminology in the plant sciences, especially plant physiology. In addition, we also provide some hints and instructions about writing and the preparation of posters and slide presentations for scientific meetings, including a format for presentation of growth-chamber data.
