Genetics and Genomics of Carrot Abiotic Stress

摘要: Plant reaction to abiotic stresses leading stress tolerance is a complex and multi-level process comprising several inter-dependent mechanisms. While it has been extensively studied in model plant species, not subject of systematic investigation carrot. Only few reports pointing at the importance particular proteins response stressors have published. No attempt made describe regulatory mechanisms governing heat, cold, drought, salinity other Nevertheless, issue seems vital, as agriculture coping with global climate changes. Also, area carrot cultivation worldwide growing its adaptation environmental conditions outside temperate climatic zone would provide health benefits human populations suffering from malnutrition. In present chapter, we review existing knowledge on stresses, emphasis molecular or genetic tolerance.
