Description for Abiotic Stress and Plant Responses
Hardcover. Abiotic stresses such as temperature, radiation, salinity, heavy metals and drought are the main factors that limit crop productivity. This book describes physiological and molecular responses, role of signaling molecules and plant phenolics in abiotic stress tolerance. Editor(s): Khan, Nafees A.; Singh, Sarvajeet. Num Pages: 312 pages, 50 line drawings, 6 b/w halftones, 3 colour pictures. BIC Classification: PST. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 250 x 180. .
Abiotic stresses such as temperature, radiation, salinity, heavy metals and drought can all limit crop productivity. The anthropogenic activities and changed agricultural system, intense use of chemical fertilizers and artificial irrigation have increased temperature, UV-B radiation, drought, salinity and heavy metals stresses and have caused yield losses. To overcome yield losses due to abiotic stresses, plants need to possess mechanisms of avoidance and tolerance to stress. For sustainable agricultural development, crops should have abiotic stress resistant traits and the mechanism for stress tolerance.
