Mapping Abiotic Stress-Tolerance Genes in Plants

Download or read book Mapping Abiotic Stress-Tolerance Genes in Plants written by Richard R.-C. Wang and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest research results on plant genes controlling tolerance to abiotic stresses including heat, cold, drought, salt, nitrogen, metals, irradiation, and exogenous phytohormones. The authors report the expression profiles, function/roles in physiological pathways, and chromosomal locations of tolerance genes. The studies involve cytogenetics, genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics. The information is critical for food security in an environment experiencing global climate changes. Therefore, this book provides a useful reference to students and professionals in plant sciences encompassing genetics, physiology, chemistry, and breeding.
