摘要:Global climate change, increasing climate variability, and an increased incidence of extreme weather events affect every aspect of plant physiology. Extensive research on ecological and environmental plant physiology has provided mechanistic understanding of the survival, distribution, productivity, and abundance of plant species across the diverse climates of our planet. Advancing eco- physiological understanding and approaches to enhance plant responses to new environmental conditions is critical to developing meaningful high-throughput phenotyping tools and maintaining humankind's supply of goods and services as global climate change intensifies. Plant Perspectives to Global Climate Changes: Developing Climate-Resilient Plants integrates currently available information on the impact of the environment on functional and adaptive features of plants on the molecular, biochemical, physiological and whole plant levels. The book also provides a direction towards implementation of programs and practices that will enable sustainable production of crops, resilient to climatic alterations. This book will be beneficial to academics and researchers working on stress physiology, stress proteins, genomics, proteomics, genetic engineering, and other fields of plant physiology. It will be of use to those involved in ecological studies and sustainable agriculture. -- Back cover.
