Dumpy to the Rescue! by Julie Edwards
Plant Abiotic Stress Physiology, 2-volume set, highlights the various innovative and emerging techniques and molecular applications that are currently being used in plant abiotic stress physiology. Volume 1: Responses and Adaptations focuses on the responses and adaptations of plants to stress factors at the cellular and molecular levels and offers a variety of advanced management strategies and technologies. Volume 2: Molecular Advancements introduces a range of state-of-the-art molecular advances for the mitigation of abiotic stress in plants.With contributions from specialists in the field, the volume emphasizes the broad variety of themes, addressing the management approaches of abiotic stress factors in plants. The chapters in Volume 1 first discuss the physiology and defense mechanisms of plants as well as the various kinds of stress, such as from challenging environments and climate change, nutritional deficiencies, among others. The volume goes on to discuss specific state-of-the-art management techniques. These include genetics approaches for improving abiotic stress tolerance in crop plants along with CRISPR/CAS-mediated genome editing technologies. Next-generation climate resilient agricultural technologies are discussed as well.Volume 2 discusses how plants have developed diverse physiological and molecular adjustments to safeguard themselves under challenging conditions and how emerging new technologies can utilize these plant adaptations to enhance plant resistance. These include using plant-environment interactions in develop crop species that are resilient to climate change, taking genomics and phenomics approaches for the study of abiotic stress tolerance, employing methyl jasmonate and salicylic acid, harnessing the CRISPR/CAS system to strengthen plant stress resistance, and more.Agriculture today faces countless challenges to meet the rising need for sustainable food supplies and guarantees of high-quality nourishment for a quickly increasing population. To assure sufficient food production, it is necessary to address the difficult environmental circumstances that are causing cellular oxidative stress in plants due to abiotic factors, which play a defining role in shaping yield of crop plants. These two volumes help to meet these challenges by providing a rich source of information on plant abiotic stress physiology and effective management techniques.Click here for Volume 1: Responses and AdaptationsClick here for Volume 2: Molecular Advancements| SKU | Unavailable |
