Stress in Plants: The Hidden Half

by Rishikesh Upadhyay

Description

This book, in a comprehensive manner, provides an overview of the challenges of increasing crop or agricultural productivity to meet the demands of a growing population, linking descriptions of physiological, ecological, biochemical and molecular activity in plants with their tolerance and adaptation to natural environments. In the case of plants, a stress is an adverse condition or substance that affects or blocks a plant's metabolism, growth, or development. The threat to productivity in show more crops and agriculture due to these stresses cannot be overstated, nor overlooked, especially in light of climate change.The information covered in this book will be helpful in building strategies to counter the impact of stress on plants. The book also provides an overview of the essential disciplines required for sustainable crop and agricultural production for policymakers, scientists, academics, and students of plant science, agricultural science, environmental science, biochemistry, biotechnology, and related areas. show less

Stress in Plants: The Hidden Half by Rishikesh Upadhyay allows us to learn the internal mechanisms or other metabolic activities of plants, which they can able to protect and adapt themselves from natural environmental changes that occurs in nature due to human anthropogenic activities. It's a wonderful collection of information. This is recommended to all.

Plants are constantly suffered to multiple unfavorable or even adverse environmental conditions in natural environment.
The complexity of plant response can be further influenced by the duration and intensity of stress, the plant genotype, the combination of different stresses, the exposed tissue and cell type, and the developmental stage at which plants perceive the stress.
Since they are immobile in nature, they have adapted themselves to different adverse conditions using their defensive antioxidant regulation mechanisms.
This book by Prof. Rishikesh Upadhyay throws light on the mechanisms of plant response or adaptation to different stress situations occurring in the environment.
