Plant cold hardiness : from the laboratory to the field

Part 1. The freezing process – Part 2. Molecular basis for the acquisition of freezing tolerance – Part 3. Linkage between developmental arrest and cold hardiness – Part 4. Genetic basis of superior cold tolerance – Part 5. Impact of global climate change on plants – Part 6. From the laboratory to the field : bridging the gap – Part 7. Photosynthesis and signalling – Part 8. Systems biology.
Presenting the research on the effects of cold and sub-zero temperatures on plant distribution, growth and yield, this comprehensive title contains chapters covering basic molecular science to broad ecological studies on the impact of global warming, and an industry perspective on transgenic approaches to abiotic stress tolerance.
