Plant-Environment Interaction - Responses And Approches To Mitigate Stress

The increase in global population, urbanization, and industrialization is resulting in the conversion of arable land into wasteland. Providing food to an ever-increasing population is one of the biggest challenges that present agriculturalists and plant scientists are facing. Environmental stresses make this situation even graver. Despite the induction of several tolerance mechanisms, sensitive plants often fail to withstand these environmental extremes. Using new technological approaches has become essential and imperative. This book updates scientists with the very latest information and the sustainable methods used for stress tolerance. Chapter 1 discusses the proteomic Approach on soybean crop. Chapter 2 describes microbial phytohormones in plant adaptation to environmental change. Chapter 3 covers the induction of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) under stressful environments, and Chapter 4 describes lipid metabolism and oxidation in plants subjected to abiotic stresses.
