Inhaltsangabe

Zinc in Plants: Current Knowledge and Recent Advances addresses zinc hunger, the transport of zinc in the soil-plant interphase, zinc and abiotic stress in plants, and zinc and plant disease. Written by experts in the field, this title is an essential resource to all scientists and students interested in plant physiology, biochemistry and agriculture. During their life, plants encounter various challenges, including their normal development under changing environmental conditions. Zinc (Zn) is an essential component of thousands of proteins in plants, although it is toxic in excess, and is essential for many processes throughout the plant lifecycle.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

During their life, plants encounter various challenges and one of the main threats for their normal development are changing environmental conditions day by day. There are certain macro and micro nutrients that support plant life, both under normal as well as adverse conditions, and are highly able to maintain the quality and quantity of the plant. Zinc (Zn) is an essential component of thousands of proteins in plants, although it is toxic in excess, and is essential for many processes throughout the plant life cycle.

Zinc in Plants addresses all of these roles and applications. This comprehensive title includes 25 chapters, with topics such as zinc hunger, the transport of zinc in the soil-plant interphase, zinc and abiotic stress in plants, and zinc and plant disease. Written by experts in the field, this title will be an essential resource to all scientists and students interested in plant physiology, biochemistry and agriculture.
