This book addresses the responses of plants to salinity.
Although salinity is a common environmental factor for marine
organisms, for the majority of land plants high soil salinity is an
environmental constraint that limits growth, productivity, and
normal plant functions. Salinity is particularly widespread in
arid/semiarid climates where crop production depends on
irrigation.
A comprehensive approach is taken in this book. After discussing
salinity as an environmental soil factor and its global impact on
ecosystems, plant responses are covered from the whole-plant level
through metabolic changes to the underlying molecular and genetic
mechanisms. In contrast to other books in this subject area, which
focus on certain aspects of plant responses to salinity or are
conference proceedings, this is the only comprehensive new book on
this subject, written by experts in the field. The intended level
of readership is graduate students and advanced researchers
interested in environmental biology and specifically in the area of
mechanisms of environment-plant interactions.
