Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Radiation Spectrum and Plant Metabolism brings together advances in photobiology, biophysics, and metabolite chemistry to illuminate how light shapes plant structure, function, and ecological performance. The volume follows the pathways through which radiation interacts with plant systems, offering an integrated perspective that links subcellular processes to whole-plant behavior and ecosystem dynamics.
Covering the full breadth of plant-light relationships, the book examines the optical properties of leaf tissues, the coordination of photoreceptors and pigments, and the metabolic networks through which plants interpret spectral cues. It outlines how shifts in light quality influence development, stress responses, and the production of secondary metabolites, providing a mechanistic foundation for understanding plant adaptability under both natural and controlled environments.
As climate change alters terrestrial and cosmic radiation patterns, a comprehensive view of plant responses has become increasingly critical. This reference resource synthesizes emerging insights into changing spectral regimes, their biochemical and physiological consequences, and the broader implications for plant fitness, crop resilience, and phyllosphere interactions. Later chapters connect these concepts to applied practice, highlighting innovations in horticultural lighting technologies and the measurement techniques that support precision light management.
Designed for researchers and advanced practitioners across the plant sciences, this volume offers a rigorous framework for interpreting how variable radiation environments shape biological systems and the metabolic processes that sustain them.
