Khan, Amarjeet Singh, Pter Por\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9780367136246, 978-0367136246\nSynopsis\nAbiotic stresses such as drought, flooding, high or low temperatures, metal toxicity and salinity can hamper plant growth and development. Improving Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Plants explains the physiological and molecular mechanisms plants naturally exhibit to withstand abiotic stresses and outlines the potential approaches to enhance plant abiotic stress tolerance to extreme conditions. Synthesising developments in plant stress biology, the book offers strategies that can be used in breeding, genomic, molecular, physiological and biotechnological approaches that hold the potential to develop resilient plants and improve crop productivity worldwide.\n\nFeatures\n\n Comprehensively explains molecular and physiological mechanism of multiple abioti.
