Sommario/riassunto

Environmental insults such as extremes of temperature, extremes of water status, and deteriorating soil conditions pose major threats to agriculture and food security. Employing contemporary tools and techniques from all branches of science, attempts are being made worldwide to understand how plants respond to abiotic stresses with the aim to manipulate plant performance that is better suited to withstand these stresses. This book searches for possible answers to several basic questions related to plant responses towards abiotic stresses. Synthesizing developments in plant stress biology, the book offers strategies that can be used in breeding, including genomic, molecular, physiological, and biotechnological approaches that have the potential to develop resilient plants and improve crop productivity worldwide.

Sommario/riassunto

"The Lp-Brunn-Minkowski theory for p<1, proposed by Firey and developed by Lutwak in the 90's, replaces the Minkowski addition of convex sets by its Lp counterpart, in which the support functions are added in Lp-norm. Recently, Boroczky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang have proposed to extend this theory further to encompass the range. In particular, they conjectured an Lp-Brunn-Minkowski inequality for origin-symmetric convex bodies in that range, which constitutes a strengthening of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality. Our main result confirms this conjecture locally for all (smooth) origin-symmetric convex bodies in Rn and. In addition, we confirm the local log-Brunn-Minkowski conjecture (the case ) for small-enough C2-perturbations of the unit-ball of for q 2, when the dimension n is sufficiently large, as well as for the cube, which we show is the conjectural extremal case. For unit-balls of with q, we confirm an analogous result for , a universal constant. It turns out that the local version of these conjectures is equivalent to a minimization problem for a spectral-gap parameter associated with a certain differential operator, introduced by Hilbert (under different normalization) in his proof of the Brunn- Minkowski inequality. As applications, we obtain local uniqueness results in the even Lp-Minkowski problem, as well as improved stability estimates in the Brunn- Minkowski and anisotropic isoperimetric inequalities"--
