The Physiology of Plants Under Stress, Volume 1, Abiotic Factors, |
| Erik T. Nilsen; David M. Orcutt |
| The first comprehensive treatment of the physiology of plants under stress. Physiology of Plants Under Stress: Environmental Factors, Volume 1 is a valuable resource for plant physiologists, horticulturists, crop scientists, plant breeders, agronomists, and plant molecular biologists. It provides the most detailed coverage, to date, of the impact of a wide range of environmental variables upon plant structure, development, and growth. Comprehensive in scope, it explores: *Plant stress physiology fundamentals, including growth regulation, membranes, phytohormones, carbon balance, and the use of stable isotopes in stress studies. *Relevant physical, chemical, and biological aspects of all forms of environmental stress and their effects upon plant metabolism. *Multiple levels of adaptation, including behavioral, morphological, anatomical, physiological, and biochemical responses. *Plant responses to specific environmental stresses such as drought and flooding, light intensity, high heat, chilling and freezing, and other. *recent advances in microbiology and genetic manipulation in the regulation of metabolic influences. *And much more.
each chapter concludes with study/review outlines and self-study review questions, making this an ideal text for graduate level courses in plant physiology, horticulture, agronomy, and crop science.
