Overview

Intended for plant physiologists, ecophysiologists, agronomists, plant molecular biologists, and experimental biologists, this book covers the fundamental mechanisms of plant responses to biotic and abiotic environment stimuli. It emphasizes the coupling of molecular biology and plant physiology; discusses the effects of microgravity on plant development; and provides an extensive analysis of plant perception and response to low oxygen and high ozone. New techniques such as those used for gene transfer using the biolistic gene gun approach in soybeans are described. Other topics discussed include systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants and recent advances in understanding how legume roots perceive bacterial lipooligosaccharide signals.
