Product Name
Salt Stress in Plants: Signalling Omics and Adaptations (Hardcover)
Product Description

Environmental conditions and changes irrespective of source cause a variety of stresses one of the most prevalent of which is salt stress. Excess amount of salt in the soil adversely affects plant growth and development and impairs production. Nearly 20% of the world s cultivated area and nearly half of the world s irrigated lands are affected by salinity. Processes such as seed germination seedling growth and vigour vegetative growth flowering and fruit set are adversely affected by high salt concentration ultimately causing diminished economic yield and also quality of produce. Most plants cannot tolerate salt-stress. High salt concentrations decrease the osmotic potential of soil solution creating a water stress in plants and severe ion toxicity. The interactions of salts with mineral nutrition may result in nutrient imbalances and deficiencies. The consequence of all these can ultimately lead to plant death as a result of growth arrest and molecular damage. To achieve salt-tolerance the foremost task is either to prevent or alleviate the damage or to re-establish homeostatic conditions in the new stressful environment. Barring a few exceptions the conventional breeding techniques have been unsuccessful in transferring the salt-tolerance trait to the target species. A host of genes encoding different structural and regulatory proteins have been used over the past 5-6 years for the development of a range of abiotic stress-tolerant plants. It has been shown that using regulatory genes is a more effective approach for developing stress-tolerant plants. Thus understanding the molecular basis will be helpful in developing selection strategies for improving salinity tolerance. This book will shed light on the effect of salt stress on plants development proteomics genomics genetic engineering and plant adaptations among other topics. The book will cover around 25 chapters with contributors from all over the world.
