Description
This book provides current information on synthesis of plant hormones, how their concentrations are regulated, and how they modulate various
plant processes. It details how plants sense and tolerate such factors as drought, salinity, and cold temperature, factors that limit
plant productivity on earth. It also explains how plants sense two other environmental signals, light and gravity, and modify their developmental
patterns in response to those signals. This book takes the reader from basic concepts to the most up-to-date thinking on these topics.
Audience
Advanced undergraduates and graduate students, faculty, and researchers in plant sciences, forestry, agricultural sciences, botany, plant developmental biology, plant physiology, and ecology.
