Plants use resources, i.e. carbon, nutrients, water and energy,
either for growth or to defend themselves from biotic and abiotic
stresses. This volume provides a timely understanding of resource
allocation and its regulation in plants, linking the molecular with
biochemical and physiological-level processes. Ecological scenarios
covered include competitors, pathogens, herbivores, mycorrhizae,
soil microorganisms, carbon dioxide/ozone regimes, nitrogen and
light availabilities. The validity of the "Growth-Differentiation
Balance Hypothesis" is examined and novel theoretical concepts and
approaches to modelling plant resource allocation are discussed.
The results presented can be applied in plant breeding and
engineering, as well as in resource-efficient stand management in
agriculture and forestry.
