Salt and drought stress tolerance in plants : signaling networks and adaptive mechanisms

Salt and drought stress tolerance in plants : signaling networks and adaptive mechanisms / Mirza Hasanuzzaman, Mohsin Tanveer, editors.

This book presents various aspects of salt and drought stress signaling in crops, combining physiological, biochemical, and molecular studies. Salt and drought stress are two major constraints on crop production worldwide. Plants possess several mechanisms to cope with the adverse effects of salt an...
