Causes of Photooxidative Stress and Amelioration of Defense Systems in Plants

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In an attempt to improve communication between disciplines in this field, we have aimed to cover what we perceive to be all relevant aspects of photooxidative stress: from primary reactions to molecular genetics and the devising of strategies for engineering stress tolerance in plants.
