Böcker i Physiology of Stressed Crops-serien

Though plant cells are separated by cell walls, cells maintain their identity as they are delimited by semi-permeable membranes that permit them to function as autonomous units. This book is intended for students, teachers and researchers interested in crop stress physiology, especially in understanding, planning and execution of research.

Discusses some of the osmoregulants and protectants such as, trehalose, fructans, ectoine and citrulline, which are generated in different species, in osmotically ineffective amounts, that mitigate the stress effects on cells/plants and improve productivity.
