A fully revised review of the latest research in molecular
basis of plant abiotic stress response and adaptation
Abiotic stressors are non-living environmental stressors that
can have a negative impact on a plants ability to grow and thrive
in a given environment. Stressors can range from temperature stress
(both extreme heat and extreme cold) water stress, aridity,
salinity among others. This book explores the full gamut of plant
abiotic stressors and plants molecular responses and adaptations to
adverse environmental conditions.
The new edition of Plant Abiotic Stress provides
up-to-date coverage of the latest research advances in plant
abiotic stress adaptation, with special emphasis on the associated
and integrative aspects of physiology, signaling, and
molecular-genetics. Since the last edition, major advances in
whole genome analysis have revealed previously unknown linkages
between genes, genomes, and phenotypes, and new biological and
-omics approaches have elucidated previously unknown cellular
mechanisms underlying stress tolerance.
Chapters are organized by topic, but highlight processes that
are integrative among diverse stress responses. As with the first
edition, Plant Abiotic Stress will have broad appeal to
scientists in fields of applied agriculture, ecology, plant
sciences, and biology.
