Amino Acids in Plant ProtectionMechanisms, Metabolism and Coordination\nAuthor(s): Muhammad Bilal Hafeez, Abdul Wahid, Muhammad Farooq, Noreen Zahra\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc, United States\nImprint: Academic Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9780443267932, 978-0443267932\nSynopsis\nAmino Acids in Plant Protection: Mechanisms, Metabolism and Coordination highlights the increasingly evident importance of amino acids in plant development and stress defense, addressing the needs of basic and applied plant scientists around the world. It provides the only comprehensive overview of the general direction of amino acid metabolism and genetic regulation under abiotic stress conditions, presenting a complete map of all currently known enzymatic steps involved in amino acid synthesis and degradation, including the initial steps leading to the synthesis of secondary metabolites.\n\nHigher plants are sessile and therefore cannot escape hostile environmental conditions t.
