E-grāmata: Abiotic Stress Adaptation in Plants: Physiological, Molecular and Genomic Foundation

From the reviews:

The book focuses on the physiological, molecular, and genomic components of the problems and emphasizes various aspects of overcoming stress through breeding, transgenics, and the identification of markers associated with plant responses to stress. The quality of the 23 chapters is very high, and they include much very current information from some of the top practitioners in the field. Summing Up: Recommended. Academic libraries serving upper-division undergraduates and above. (W. Loescher, Choice, Vol. 48 (4), December, 2010)

This book serves as a complete package on the basics and applications for abiotic stress response pathways in plants. Indeed, at over 520 pages, with 23 predominantly multi-author chapters arranged in four parts, it is a considerable compendium of information and references . The book is aimed at late undergraduate through to beginning researchers in many areas of science and technology. it is most suited to libraries, where it should find readers and will be useful. (David Lawlor, Annals of Botany, Vol. 107 (4), 2011)

The book is an important and timely addition in view of the frightening global climate change issues and concerns. we would like to congratulate the editors for bringing out this vitally useful volume. the book is informative and innovative. Researchers, teachers, graduate students and advanced undergraduate students would benefit from it. We recommended it to all those interested in plants and microbes, and their biology. We agree that this is an exciting addition in the field. (Prasanna Mohanty, S. Rajagopal and N. Raghuram, Current Science, Vol. 99 (9), November, 2010)

The book presents a standard monograph in which individual chapters are written by different authors. The book is divided into four parts and contains altogether 23 chapters. the large amount of information contained in this book should be of interest for plant physiologists, stress physiologists, and molecular plant biologists, both researchers and students.­­­ (J. Nau, Photosynthetica, Vol. 48 (3), 2010)

This 500+ page book is a timely and comprehensive survey of plant responses to environmental stress, encompassing together 23 chapters covering a wide range of highly relevant topics dealing with abiotic stress in plants. This is a collection of state-of-the-art reviews useful for researchers, academics, and students who are at an advanced stage of study. I strongly recommend this book to all the libraries of the universities as well as research institutions that deal with the study of plant biology and plant sciences.
