"Plant Stress Biology"

From Genomics to Systems Biology

edited by Heribert Hirt

Hardcover, 274 pages, December 2009.
$175.00 + shipping ($8.00, U.S. or $20.00 Elsewhere)

This is the first book to present a comprehensive and advanced discussion on the latest insights into plant stress biology. Starting with general aspects of biotic as well as abiotic stresses, this handbook and ready reference moves on to focus on topics of stress hormones, technical approaches such as proteomics, transcriptomics and genomics, and their integration into systemic modeling. This book is a valuable resource for researchers as well as professionals not just in plant sciences but also in cell and molecular biology as well as biotechnology
