Understanding plant responses and adaptations to severe desiccation is key to applying desiccation tolerance research to the improvement of economically important crops. Plant Desiccation Tolerance brings together a field of international researchers to provide a current review of the advances in plant desiccation tolerance research. The book is broken up into three sections: Vegetative Desiccation Tolerance; Desiccation Tolerance of Pollen, Spores, and Seeds; and Applications of Desiccation Tolerance ResearcPlant-water relationshipsPlantsDrought tolerancePlantsAdaptationElectronic books.Plant-water relationships.PlantsDrought tolerance.PlantsAdaptation.581.4Jenks Matthew A521519Wood Andrew J918218MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910144697103321Plant desiccation tolerance2058846UNINA
