Following its predecessors, this fourth edition offers a unique and comprehensive collection of topics in the fields of plant and crop stress. This new edition contains more than 80% new material, and the remaining 20% has been updated and revised substantially. This volume presents 10 comprehensive sections that include information on soil salinity and sodicity problems; tolerance mechanisms and stressful conditions; plant/crop responses; plant/crop responses under pollution and heavy metal; plant/crop responses under biotic stress; genetic factors and plant/crop genomics under stress conditions; plant/crop breeding under stress conditions; empirical investigations; improving tolerance; and beneficial aspects of stressors. Features: Provides exhaustive coverage written by an international panel of experts in the field of agriculture, particularly in plant/crop stress areas Contains 40 new chapters and 10 extensively revised and expanded chapters Includes three new sections on plant breeding, stress exerted to weeds by plants, and beneficial aspects of stress on plants/crops Numerous case studies With contributions from 100 scientists and experts from 20 countries, this Handbook provides a comprehensive resource for research and for university courses, covering soil salinity/sodicity issues and plant/crop physiological responses under environmental stress conditions ranging from cellular aspects to whole plants. The content can be used to plan, implement, and evaluate strategies to mitigate plant/crop stress problems. This new edition includes numerous tables, figures, and illustrations to facilitate comprehension of the material as well as thousands of index words to further increase accessibility to the desired information. 606 $aCrops$xEffect of stress on 606 $aPlants$xEffect of stress on 606 $aCrops$xEffect of salts on 606 $aPlants$xEffect of salts on 615 0$aCrops$xEffect of stress on. 615 0$aPlants$xEffect of stress on. 615 0$aCrops$xEffect of salts on. 615 0$aPlants$xEffect of salts on. 676 $a630 701 $aPessarakli$b Mohammad$f1948-$077751 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806159103321 996 $aHandbook of plant and crop stress$94031562 997 $aUNINA
