Beschreibung
Efforts to increase efficient nutrient use by crops are of growingimportance as the global demand for food, fibre and fuel increasesand competition for resources intensifies. The Molecular andPhysiological Basis of Nutrient Use Efficiency in Cropsprovides both a timely summary of the latest advances in the fieldas well as anticipating directions for future research.
The Molecular and Physiological Basis of Nutrient UseEfficiency in Crops bridges the gap between agronomic practiceand molecular biology by linking underpinning molecular mechanismsto the physiological and agronomic aspects of crop yield. Thesechapters provide an understanding of molecular and physiologicalmechanisms that will allow researchers to continue to target andimprove complex traits for crop improvement.
Written by leading international researchers, The Molecularand Physiological Basis of Nutrient Use Efficiency in Cropswill be an essential resource for the crop science community foryears to come.
Special Features:
* coalesces current knowledge in the areas of efficientacquisition and utilization of nutrients by crop plants withemphasis on modern developments
* addresses future directions in crop nutrition in the light ofchanging climate patterns including temperature and wateravailability
* bridges the gap between traditional agronomy and molecularbiology with focus on underpinning molecular mechanisms and theireffects on crop yield
* includes contributions from a leading team of global experts inboth research and practical settings
