This book shows the original research results of eco-physiology of Catharanthus roseus. The theory and methods of plant physiology, as well as proteomics, were conducted in C.roseus to investigate and reveal the physiological processes and mechanisms during development and in response to environmental processes include alkaloid metabolisms, photosynthetic and respiratory response, soluble sugar and phytohormones variations induced by light, temperature, water and biotic molecules. Their biological functions and interactions were also discussed.This book provides a reference for scientists and students on plant physiology or ecology.
