Short description:
Adaptations and Responses of Woody Plants to Environmental Stresses covers the latest and most significant advances in woody plant stress research. The authors are world-renowned researchers who have made significant contributions to the knowledge of woody plant stress physiology and molecular biology. With figures, tables, graphs, illustrations, and black-and-white and color photos documenting the studies of these researchers and scientists, this book offers a new awareness of the physiology and molecular biology of cold acclimation in woody plants. This book will appeal to graduate students, instructors, and researchers who specialize in plant stress physiology in botany, agriculture, horticulture, landscape design, or forestry.
Long description:
Discover what improves stress resistance to cold in woody plants used in horticulture!
Adaptations and Responses of Woody Plants to Environmental Stresses covers the latest and most significant advances in woody plant stress research. Few books focus on the low-temperature stress biology of woody plants that are of horticultural importance. This book will appeal to graduate students, instructors, and researchers who specialize in plant stress physiology in botany, agriculture, horticulture, landscape design, or forestry.
The authors of this book, led by Dr. Rajeev Arora, are world-renowned researchers who have made significant contributions to the knowledge of woody plant stress physiology and molecular biology. Adaptations and Responses of Woody Plants to Environmental Stresses will keep you up-to-date on current findings in the fundamental understanding of the various aspects of woody plants’ responses to environmental stresses. With figures, tables, graphs, illustrations, and black-and-white and color photos documenting the studies of these researchers and scientists, this book offers a new awareness of the physiology and molecular biology of cold acclimation in woody plants.
The book will provide you with innovative research on:

The book will provide you with innovative research on:
- the freezing process&&&0151;ice nucleation, propagation, and deep supercooling in woody plants
- the biology of dormancy induction and release in woody plants&&&0151;physiologic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms
- the physiology and regulation of seasonal nitrogen cycling in woody plants
- the importance of dehydrins&&&0151;a unique class of stress proteins&&&0151;in cold hardening of certain woody plants
- nitrogen-fixation as a stress-avoidance strategy in certain woody plants
