Plants under Stress: Biochemistry, Physiology and Ecology and their Application to Plant Improvement (Society for Experimental Biology Seminar Series)

The effects of stressful conditions on plants such as drought, salinity, waterlogging, and high and low temperatures can have a major impact on plant growth and survival, with important economic consequences in crop plants. This book explores some of the more important stresses, demonstrates how they affect the plant and reviews how new varieties or new species less vulnerable to stress can be selected. The volume identifies how stressful conditions affect plants. Various stresses can have a major impact on plant growth and survival. This book examines some of the more important stresses, shows how they affect the plant and then reviews how new varieties or new species can be selected which are less vulnerable to stress.

this Volume Identifies How Stressful Conditions Affect Plants.
