Plant Stress Physiology

This book provides a timely update on the recent progress in our knowledge of all aspects of plant's perception, signalling and adaptation to a variety of environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, heat, cold, frost and soil pH extremes, Al and heavy metal toxicities, desiccation, waterlogging, UV, oxidative stress and pathogens. It provides a comprehensive reference test for a broad range of researchers, from ecologists to plant physiologists to agronomists and plant breeders. It is hoped that this book will also be highly valuable to tertiary students in a variety of biology-related disciplines, as well as lecturers and post-graduate students in appropriate disciplines.
