Biochemistry and Plant Physiology are two fundamental branches of life sciences thattogether form the backbone of modern biological studies.This book has been designedto provide a comprehensive understanding of the chemical processes andphysiological mechanisms that govern plant life. It bridges the gap between molecularevents and whole-plant functioning. The subject matter has been presented in asimple, clear, and systematic manner for easy comprehension. Special emphasis hasbeen given to the integration of biochemical pathways with physiological processes.The book covers essential topics such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, enzymes, andplant metabolites. Equally, it highlights physiological concepts like photosynthesis,respiration, water relations, mineral nutrition, and growth regulation. Each chapter hasbeen written keeping in mind the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students.Illustrations and flowcharts have been incorporated to aid visualization of complexprocesses. Recent advances in plant biotechnology and molecular biology have alsobeen included wherever relevant. The language has been kept lucid, avoidingunnecessary technical jargon. Attention has been given to experimental aspects toencourage laboratory correlation with theory. Review questions at the end of eachsection will help reinforce learning.The book also serves as a useful resource forcompetitive examinations. Teachers and researchers will find it valuable for referenceand teaching support. It provides both a strong conceptual foundation and practicalinsights into plant science. Our aim has been to inspire curiosity and scientificthinking among readers. We hope this work will strengthen the appreciation ofbiochemical and physiological processes in plants. Any suggestions for improvementfrom readers will be warmly welcomed. With this, we present the book as acontribution to the growing field of biochemistry and plant physiology
