Reviews

From the reviews: Rainer Stahlberg gives a short and concise historical introduction to plant electrophysiology. ! Taken together, valuable technical information about selected electrophysiological techniques and underlying theories is provided for interested students and specialized scientists. ! it can be recommended to students and researchers looking for a guide to techniques around noninvasive ion flux measurements, other selected techniques, and insights into the diversity of electrophysiological events in plants.
