Scientific Perspectives of Tea Plant Horticulture and Productivity
is a complete, step-by-step guide on how to maximize tea plant
growth, yield and quality. Chapters focus on the methods of
cultivation, soil and water management, plant physiology, plant
protection and weed control, problems from pollution and climate
change, and eco-friendly remedial actions. This is an essential
read for plant biologists and tea horticulturalists as the tea
industry is struggling due to high production costs, changing
climates and diminishing plant yields, with countries in Asia
declaring the industry at 'crisis point.' Horticulturalists need
solutions to problems with plant productivity, quality, stress
management and eco-friendly cultivation practices. There have been
several technological advances in the field and horticulturalists
need guidance on how best to implement new technologies, hence the
importance of this new resource.
Nitric Oxide in Plant Biology: An Ancient Molecule with Emerging
Roles is an extensive volume which provides a broad and detailed
overview of Nitric Oxide (NO) in plant biology. The book covers the
entirety of the crucial role NO plays in the plant lifecycle, from
the regulation of seed germination and growth to synthesis,
nitrogen fixation and stress response. Beginning with NO production
and NO homeostasis, Nitric Oxide in Plant Biology goes on to cover
a variety of NO roles, with a focus on NO signalling, crosstalk and
stress responses. Edited by leading experts in the field and
featuring the latest research from laboratories from across the
globe, it is a comprehensive resource of interest to students and
researchers working in plant physiology, agriculture,
biotechnology, and the pharmaceutical and food industries.
