About the Book

Over the last decade enormous advances 10 our understandmg of the functionmg of "tomata have been made Today, the overall pattern of events 10 stomatal functloOlng IS generally under~tood although some of the fmer details of the mechaOlsm remam to be eluCIdated However, the mechaOlsm whereby changmg CO levels wlthm a leaf control stom- 2 atal movements remam~ one of the biggest puzzles The excellent text PhYSlOlogy of Stomata, by Professors H Meldner and T A Mamfleld, I~ over 12 years old and mevltably sections of It are now outdated Although numerou~ flOe review,> on vanous aspects of stomata have been wntten 10 the meantime, none could be conSidered as complete, compact appraisals of the subject dnd thus to have super- seded the Meldner and Mansfield book Now IS therefore an appropnate time to review the statu~ of our knowledge about stomata This book encompas~es all a~pect~ of the subject except the phySICal processes mvolved 10 the exchange of gases between a leaf and ItS envI- ronment ThiS topIC IS dealt With very adequately 10 a vanety of other books and reVlew~, and the subject matter, With mmor differences of opmlon, remams much the '>ame today as It was perhaps 20 years ago A descnption of how to measure stomatal apertures and the use of porometers has been restncted to a fmal chapter whICh also deals with expenments which can be carned out by students Agam, there are

Review :
The book could be recommended for advanced students and specialists in plant physiology, biology, agriculture and related disciplines. - Acta Physiological Plantarium; Overall, the changes that the authors have made in this new edition of Stomata mark the book's successful transition from being a handbook of stomatal research to an essential textbook of stomatal physiology. I have no hesitation in recommending it, and anticipate that in future years it will become a standard text for scholars of both plant and stomatal physiology - Trends in Plant Science; Reviews of the first edition:; This paperback is, in general, well written and easy to read, especially an as introductory text for students ... A service to plant physiology has been well performed. This reviewer commends this little book as being a 'window upon the soul' of stomata ... - Journal of Experimental Botany; [Willmer] gives a highly readable, excellently illustrated account of the distribution, anatomy, structure and development of guard cells ... I know of no other review of the structural aspects of this range and elegance - Times Higher Educational Supplement; Dr Willmer has produced a neat, crisply written monograph which will serve up to first degree level in all plant sciences for a good while to come - The Biologist
