Completely updated from the successful first edition, Plant Stress Physiology, 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, waterlogging, oxidative stress, pathogens, and extremes of temperature and pH. This second edition presents detailed and up-to-date research on plant responses to a wide range of stresses, including new full-colour figures to help illustrate the principles outlined in the text. Written in a clear and accessible format, with descriptive abstracts for each chapter, this book is written by an international team of experts who provide researchers with a better understanding of the major physiological and molecular mechanisms facilitating plant tolerance to adverse environmental factors. This essential resource is ideal for researchers and students of ecology, plant biology, agriculture, agronomy, and plant breeding.
