Stress combination
Plant responses to abiotic stress combinations Dr. Zvi Peleg, R.H. Smith Institute of Plant Sciences and Genetics, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel Abiotic stresses, such as drought, soil salinization and heat waves, are the major and most prevalent environmental constraints limiting crop productivity and causing devastating economical and sociological impacts. As sessile organisms, plants […]

The Impact of Flooding Stress on Plants and Crops Prof. Michael B. Jackson, School of Biological Sciences, University of Bristol, UK and Plant Ecophysiology, Faculty of Biology, University of Utrecht, The Netherlands. INTRODUCTION The complex and highly developed land-based biology with which we are most familiar, is a relatively new phenomenon in evolutionary terms. Its existence is […]
