Abiotic Stresses: Plant Resistance through Breeding and Molecular Approaches

Gain a better understanding of the genetic and physiological bases of stress response and stress tolerance as part of crop improvement programs

Abiotic Plant Resistance Through Breeding and Molecular Approaches explores innovative methods for breeding new varieties of major crops with resistance to environmental stresses that limit crop production worldwide. Experts provide you with basic principles and techniques of plant breeding as well as work done in relation to improving resistance in specific important world food crops. This book supplies extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter, as well as tables and figures that illustrate the research findings.
