This is the first volume to provide comprehensive coverage of thebiology of water use efficiency at molecular, cellular, whole plantand community levels. While several works have included thephenomenon of water use efficiency, and others have concentrated onan agronomic framework, this book represents the first detailedtreatment with a biological focus.
The volume sets out the definitions applicable to water useefficiency, the fundamental physiology and biochemistry governingthe efficiency of carbon vs water loss, the environmentalregulation of this process and the detailed physiological basis bywhich the plant exerts control over such efficiency. It is aimed atresearchers and professionals in plant physiology, biochemistry,molecular biology, developmental biology and agriculture. It willalso inform those involved in formulating research and developmentpolicy in this topic around the world.
