Inhalt:
The reaction of plant tissue to stress is of critical importance to growers concerned with the production of horticultural or agronomical plants on a large scale. This book discusses several factors that contribute to plant stress, including freezing and chill injury, drought stress, heat shock, salt stress, and toxic metals. The detection of plant stress by remote sensing devices is also examined.
Anmerkung:
Papers from a one-day symposium held in June 1988 in Toronto, Ont., sponsored by the American Chemical Society.
