Plants are incredibly sensitive to changes in temperature. Changesof a single degree or two in ambient temperature can impact plantarchitecture, developmental processes, immune response, and plantreproduction. Temperature and Plant Development thoroughly exploresplant molecular responses to changes in temperature with aim tounderstanding how plants perceive, integrate, and respond totemperature signals.
Temperature and Plant Development explores the diversemolecular responses that plants exhibit as they face changingtemperatures. Temperature-related changes and adaptations toessential developmental processes, such as germination, flowering,and reproduction, are explored in detail. Chapters also explore theimpact of temperature on plant immune responses and the impact ofrising temperatures on global food security.
A timely and important book, Temperature and PlantDevelopment will be a valuable resource for plant biologists,crop scientists, and advanced students.
