Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants (eBook, PDF)

Toward the Improvement of Global Environment and Food
Redaktion: Rai, Ashwani K.; Takabe, Teruhiro

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

A state-of-the-art guide to recent developments in the understanding of plant response to abiotic stresses. Each chapter reflects how new techniques have helped physiologists, biochemists and molecular biologists to understand the basic problems of abiotic stress in plant species. The book supplies extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter, as well as tables and figures that illustrate the research findings.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This textbook aims to present a state of the art description of the physiological, biochemical and molecular status of the understanding of abiotic stress in plants and the application of biotechnology to crop and environmental improvement. ... could serve postgraduates, academics and researchers alike as a reference to the current state of ... the research in the field of abiotic stress of plants." (Mick Fuller, Experimental Agriculture, Vol. 43, 2007)
