Environment and Plant Metabolism: Flexibility and Acclimation (Environmental Plant Biology)

This best-selling volume considers the response of plants to environmental stress from a metabolic perspective.Plants are exposed to continually and rapidly-changing environmental factors. Light, temperature, water and nutrient availability fluctuate seasonally and even from hour to hour and these have a major impact on plant growth and crop productivity. This book focuses on how such environmental factors interact with the processes of metabolic regulation in plant cells leading to changes in fluxes through pathways of primary metabolism and the activation of new pathways.
