Halophytes: An Integrative Anatomical Study (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on morphological and anatomical strategies developed by halophytes during evolution that allow them to survive in high-salt environments. These adaptive strategies refer to well integrated structural features, such as succulence, salt secretion (salt glands and vesicular hairs), aerenchyma, Kranz anatomy, bulliform cells, successive cambia, tracheoidioblasts and endodermis with pronounced Casparian strips. The authors present cross sections of the roots, stems and leaves of 62 halophyte species belonging to 18 families from different habitats and climates (temperate, Mediterranean). They also discuss the ecological, physiological and evolutionary aspects of the various adaptive structures in an integrative way. Beginning with the structural level, this book offers novel insights into the ecology of halophytes and opens new perspectives for the identification of salt-tolerant crop plants or halophytes that can be used for ecological purposes, such as bio-remediationand revegetation.

Autorenporträt

Marius-Nicu¿or Grigore graduated in 2004 from the Faculty of Biology, majoring in Biology, from the "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University of Iäi, Romania; doctor in biology since 2008, with a doctoral thesis in the field of ecological anatomy of halophytes in Romania. Postdoctoral training in halophyte ecophysiology and plant physiological and biochemical responses to salt stress; specialization in didactics of the specialty (biology) at university level. The scientific activity consists of the publication of 13 books, of which 4 at the prestigious international publishing house Springer (two by the author, one as the chief editor, and one as co-editor); 13 book chapters in books published by prestigious international publishing houses (Springer, CABI); over 89 scientific articles (of which, 39 indexed in Clarivate), most in the field of halophyte biology, the physiology of abiotic stress (saline, water, radiation) in plants, the evaluation of some antioxidant compounds from plants of economic interest, in the field of biology teaching and conceptual approaches in biology, ethnobotany; carried out numerous scientific missions in the country and abroad; prestigious visiting researcher at the Polytechnic University of Valencia; project director in Romania, coordinator at national level in an international project (COST – Management Committee) and member in numerous research projects; the "Emil Racovi¿¿" award of the Romanian Academy for the Springer book -– Halophytes.

Rezensionen

"This book, unique in its own way, focuses on the study of halophytes, plants able to survive in highly saline and arid conditions. Characterized by a great diversity and widespread in the plant world, they have a great theoretical and practical significance. ... In this way it represents a work of reference, a valuable scientific information instrument in the field of theoretical and practical biology, generally." (Aurelia Brezeanu, Romanian Journal of Biology, Vol. 58 (2), 2013)
