The 4th and 5th edition are companions to the 4th and 5th edition of the seminal work (book) "Plant Physiology" by Lincoln Taiz and Eduardo Zeiger. I highly suggest people purchase the 5th edition of the book (released June 15, 2010) for even more info!

One can teach themselves most topics of plant physiology using the book and online companion. What is really great about the online companion is it has various sections, such as (from the 5th edition):

* Topics
* Essays
* Study Questions
* Readings


The "study questions" section is great! It will allow you to test yourself with the same level of info you would get in many plant physiology classes at a University.

Of the two editions, the 5th should be your go-to resource, but I will post both for reference.

Here is the 5th edition of the book: https://www.sinauer.com/detail.php?id=8667

Here is the online companion to the 5th edition: https://5e.plantphys.net/

Here is the online companion to the 4th edition: https://4e.plantphys.net/

Happy reading!!!

Ex.:

I do not (yet) have an advanced degree, but that doesn't mean I am any less of a scientist than those with advanced degrees (ex. Doc's, PhD's, etc). A degree alone does not a scientist make. Drive, intelligence and money (for resources) can make a scientist out of anyone without a degree

Look into "DIY-BIO" if you are interested in that topic:

* "DIYbio: An Institution for the Amateur Biologist": https://diybio.org/


The difference between a "professional" and "amateur" biologist is a degree and fancy title, that's it; as long as the amateur has money for resources and equipment...

Homework! what is this grade school, I am not smarter then a 5th grader. I have burn out all but two of my brain cells and their flickering.
