Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc - Nanotechnology For Abiotic Stress Tolerance And Management In Crop Plants - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Nanotechnology for Abiotic Stress Tolerance and Management in Crop Plants reviews the most recent literature on the role of nanomaterials in achieving sustainability in crop production in stressful environments. The book explores the adverse conditions caused by abiotic stress to crop plants and the methods by which these conditions can be potentially overcome through developments in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Abiotic stresses such as drought salinity temperature stress excessive water heavy metal stress and UV stress are major factors which may adversely affect the growth development and yield of crops. While recent research for ways of overcoming the physiological and biochemical changes brought on by these stresses has focused on genetic engineering of plants additional research continues into alternative strategies to develop stress tolerant crops including the use of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
