Interacting stresses on plants in a changing climate

摘要: The current climatic changes mean increasing environmental stress on plants. Gaseous pollutants, such as carbon dioxide, sulphur ozone and oxide of nitrogen, combine with the impacts flooding submergence, drought cold. This book examines physiological, biochemical molecular biological bases injury adaptations to in Emphasized is importance combined effect more than one type stress, for example increased ultraviolet (UVB) radiation exacerbating from or offsetting beneficial effects an increase atmospheric dioxide. prospects improving tolerance by genetic engineering are assessed some examples recent progress described.
