Full title :Plant-environment interactions / edited by Bingru Huang.

Summary

Fully revised and expanded, Plant-Environment Interactions, Third Edition leverages recent research to provide unparalleled insight concerning the most important and common abiotic stresses limiting plant growth and productivity in both natural and managed environments. Pioneering experts from a variety of disciplines provide a completely fresh look at the topic in light of the discoveries they have helped to herald. Examining most, if not all, of the recent advances in cellular and molecular mechanisms of plant tolerance to abiotic stresses, they-: Discuss recent literature on gene expression, changes in protein metabolism, and biotechnology in relation to plant and environmental interactions, Look at newly developed methods and techniques in stress physiology and molecular biology, including physiological and biochemical methodologies commonly used for the evaluation of plant-stress tolerance, Explore applications of genomic and molecular approaches for improving the stress tolerance of plants. Going a step further, this volume re-examines older literature in light of recent advances, and while it provides many new answers regarding abiotic stress and the steps needed to improve whole-plant growth and productivity in suboptimal environments, it also raises many challenging questions deserving the attention of future research.
