The science of Plant Physiology is never static but always changing as new facts are discovered and fresh concept developed. Many aspects of practical agriculture can benefit from more intensive research in plant physiology to the solution of practical problems in agronomy, forestry, horticulture and other fields give an added dimension to the already recognized importance of research in basic plant physiology
This book contains 18 chapters covering a wide range of aspects of crop and plant physiology including abiotic stresses, mineral nutrition, senescence mechanism, biological nitrogen fixation and phytotoxicity. In abiotic stress section articles on biotechnological approaches to mitigate multiple abiotic stresses in crops; Stress proteins in plants; Survival of plants under waterlogging; Oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species in plants; Abiotic stress in crop plants and Metabolic engineering for stress tolerance have been included. Chapters on possible role of alternative respiration in plats; Nutritional aspects of crop plants, Glutathione : A weapon for plant physiology; Senescence mechanism in plant; Biological nitrogen fixation in cereals under saline conditions; Relevance of oxygen and carbon isotopes in identifying photosynthetically efficient crop genotypes provides detailed information on the subject. A comprehensive account on the conditions for storage of seeds at ambient temperature; Physiology and metabolic regulation in seed germination; Mango malformation, Metal toxicity in plants; Nitrogen dioxide and its phytotoxicity and AFLP marker tools for plant genome analysis have added to the book.
This book will definitely serve as an excellent reference material and practical guide for scientist, teachers, students, planners and administrators interested in Plant Physiology, Botany and agriculture science.
