Stress-Induced Gene Expression in Plants

by Amarjit S. Basra

This book comprehensively covers gene expression in plants as affected by water deficit, seed desiccation, anoxia, salinity, temperature extremes, and metal toxicity. It also looks at the possibilities of exploiting genes that regulate ozone resistance and the ingenious molecular strategies that have been developed by plants for dealing with pathogen attack.
Stress-Induced Gene Expression in Plants is one of the first books to deal with the effect of biological and non-biological trauma on the gene expression of plants. It is a book aimed at collecting and interpreting the rapidly advancing experimental information within this area, focusing on the effects of stress from water, temperature, anaerobiosis, salt, heavy metals, and pathogens.
