Abiotic stress is the negative impact of non-living factors on the living organisms of a specific environment. The non-living variable must influence the environment beyond its normal range of variation to adversely affect the population performance or individual physiology of the organism in a significant way. Abiotic stresses, such as salinity, drought, temperature, and oxidative stress, cause major loss in crop yields. Topics discussed in this book include drought and nutritional...
More DescriptionAbiotic stress is the negative impact of non-living factors on the living organisms of a specific environment. The non-living variable must influence the environment beyond its normal range of variation to adversely affect the population performance or individual physiology of the organism in a significant way. Abiotic stresses, such as salinity, drought, temperature, and oxidative stress, cause major loss in crop yields. Topics discussed in this book include drought and nutritional stresses in plants; NADP-dependent enzymes and abiotic stress; circadian regulation of abiotic stress tolerance in caenorhabditis elegans; and plant cortical microtubules and abiotic stress signals.
