This collection discusses the variety of specific molecular reactions by means of which plants respond to physiological and toxic stress conditions. It focuses on the characterization of the molecular mechanisms that underlie the induction of toxicity and the triggered responses and resistances. The nine chapters, all written by prominent researchers, examine heavy metal toxicity, aluminum toxicity, arsenic toxicity, salt toxicity, drought stress, light stress, temperature stress, flood stress and UV-B stress. In addition, information on the fundamentals of stress responses and resistance mechanisms is provided. The book addresses researchers and students working in the fields of plant physiology and biochemistry.
“A new collection of articles, edited by Tripathi and Müller, summarizes part of the current knowledge on stress responses in plants. The volume contains 11 articles that review plant physiological and metabolic responses to abiotic stresses. … the reviews will be valuable to experienced readers as well as newcomers to the field of plant stress physiology.” (André Kessler, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 92 (3), September, 2017)
