Farewell to the Internal Clock

Meer over het boek

The book explores how various environmental factors, such as sunlight, temperature, and moisture, significantly influence plant growth and development. It highlights the concept of acclimation, showcasing plants' remarkable plasticity in response to immediate changes. Additionally, it discusses how, when plasticity is insufficient, plants adapt through genetic selection, transforming transient responses into permanent characteristics. This ongoing interaction between the environment and plant development shapes not only individual species but also the ecosystems in which they thrive.
