Chapter 2. Physiology

This chapter aims to present briefly the main physiological processes responsible for crop growth and development and to show how they are involved in metabolic processes of the main compounds responsible for sugarcane products commercially exploited. The study of plant physiology covers a much wider field than we will cover, ranging from the expression of specific genes to complex metabolic processes; these would require further studies. We will briefly detail the procedures for obtaining and assimilating carbon and the synthesis of sucrose, which is the main compound of interest in agronomics currently. Additionally, we will circumstantially present the processes of plant growth and development, with emphasis on the two physiological stages of great agricultural importance: flowering and maturation.
