Produktbeschreibung

The first resource of its kind, this book reviews research in crop plant physiology, plant biotechnology, and plant breeding aimed toward improving crop plants genetically while supporting a productive agriculture ecosystem. Emphasizing molecular approaches, this reference explores innovative perspectives in crop physiology aimed at the formulation of those crop cultivars that offer the greatest potential to increase crop yields in stress environments. Filled with contributions from plant scientists from all corners of the globe, the book provides readers with the background information needed to understand this cutting-edge work, and its potential applications.
