Mechanisms of Environmental Stress Resistance in Plants
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Plant growth and productivity are limited in many areas of the world by a wide variety of environmental stresses. This book discusses progress made towards the major goal of uncovering the plant resistance mechanisms to biotic and abiotic stresses. The purpose being to utilise this knowledge in genetic modification of plants for achieving improved stress resistance.
This volume achieves a new synthesis in considering the mechanisms of resistance at various levels of organisation: from individual cells and tissues, through whole plants to communities. Individual chapters are written by internationally acknowledged experts, who have a wealth of research and teaching experience. With comprehensive and up-to-date coverage, this book analyses many outstanding problems and poses important questions for future research.
