Plant Hormones under Challenging Environmental Factors [electronic resource] /
Ahammed, Golam Jalal.editor.
Yu, Jing-Quan.editor.
 This book presents recent advances in understanding the physiological and molecular mechanisms of different abiotic stresses such as high or low temperature, salinity, drought, flooding, soil acidity, heavy metals, light stress and ozone stress, and discusses the multifaceted role of phytohormones in stress adaptation and the underlying mechanisms. Aimed at students and researchers in the field of plant science, it offers a comprehensive overview of the versatile roles and interactions of different phytohormones in response to a specific stress factor and examines the possible physiological and molecular mechanisms that have been the subject of recent research.
Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.
