Abstract
This 2nd edition provides a timely update on the recent progress in our knowledge of all aspects of plant perception, signalling and adaptation to a variety of environmental stresses. It covers in detail areas such as drought, salinity, flooding, oxidative stress, pathogens, and extremes of temperature and soil pH. It includes new full-colour figures to help illustrate the principles outlined in the text and is written in a clear and accessible format, with descriptive abstracts for each chapter. Written by an international team of experts, this book provides researchers with a better understanding of the major physiological and molecular mechanisms facilitating plant tolerance to adverse environmental factors. This new edition is an essential resource for researchers and students of ecology, plant biology, agriculture, agronomy and plant breeding.
