Overview
The book provides the most recent information regarding advances in genetics and physiology of abiotic stress response and crop improvement
Emphasizes on genes of importance for rendering more tolerance to a certain abiotic stress, and brings forward new ideas for improving the tolerance
Beneficial to both plant breeders and molecular biologists because it combines the topics of mathematical modelling, physiology, tolerance genes, and breeding methods
