Description
Taylor and Francis Ltd Improvement of Plant Production in the Era of Climate Change 1st Edition 2022 Hardbound by Fahad, Shah
Features:Provide a state of the art description of the physiological, biochemical and molecular status of the understanding of abiotic stress in plants.Courses taught in universities from basics to advanced level in field of plant physiology, molecular genetics and bioinformatics this book will be used.Focuses on climatic extremes and their management for plant protection and production which is great threat to future generation and food security.Understanding of new techniques pointed out in this book will open the possibility of genetic engineering in crop plants with the concomitant improved stress tolerance.Addressing factors that are threatening future food production and providing potential solutions of these factors.Written by a diverse faction of internationally famed scholars, this book adds new horizons in the field of abiotic stress tolerance. 1.
