OverviewPresenting the latest research on the effects of cold and sub-zero temperatures on plant distribution, growth and yield, this comprehensive volume contains 28 chapters by international experts covering basic molecular science to broad ecological studies on the impact of global warming, and an industry perspective on transgenic approaches to abiotic stress tolerance. With a focus on integrating molecular studies in the laboratory with field research and physiological studies of whole plants in their natural environments, this book covers plant physiology, production, development, agronomy, ecology, breeding and genetics, and their applications in agriculture and horticulture.

She chairs the Northern Agriculture Thematic Network, University of the Arctic (a consortium of over 121 institutions circumpolar) and holds an Adjunct Professorship with IWATE University, Morioka, Japan. She received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. from the University of Guelph and her Ph.D. from Oregon State University. Karen examines physiological mechanisms of plant adaptation against abiotic stress from the whole plant to cellular level. She has published over 140 research contributions including 4 books. Enhanced learning approaches are used throughout the 14 undergraduate, graduate and diploma courses that she has taught. She has coordinated graduate level courses in plant abiotic stress in Japan, Russia, Canada, Luxembourg and Poland. Since 2002, she has chaired/co-chaired 5 international and national conferences and was a core organizing committee member of ten international conferences.
