Plants are incredibly sensitive to changes in temperature. Changes
of a single degree or two in ambient temperature can impact plant
architecture, developmental processes, immune response, and plant
reproduction. Temperature and Plant Development thoroughly explores
plant molecular responses to changes in temperature with aim to
understanding how plants perceive, integrate, and respond to
temperature signals.
Temperature and Plant Development explores the diverse
molecular responses that plants exhibit as they face changing
temperatures. Temperature-related changes and adaptations to
essential developmental processes, such as germination, flowering,
and reproduction, are explored in detail. Chapters also explore the
impact of temperature on plant immune responses and the impact of
rising temperatures on global food security.
A timely and important book, Temperature and Plant
Development will be a valuable resource for plant biologists,
crop scientists, and advanced students.
* Up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the role of
temperature on plant development.
* Looks at changes and adaptations to plant
developmental processes made in response to changing
temperatures.
* Explores the role of temperature on plant immune
response and pathogen defense
* Provides a timely look at the impact of changing
temperatures on global food security
