Biology and Biotechnology of Environmental Stress Tolerance in Plants. Volumes 1-3, Apple Academic Press (Aryadeep Roychoudhury, editor, 2023)
This 3-volume series discusses the escalating threats from global climate change, such as drought, extreme temperatures, UV radiation, salt concentration, and heavy metal pollution, are increasingly inhibiting plant growth and agricultural yield. To mitigate these issues, a new three-volume set has been produced. It delves into a comprehensive exploration of how plant metabolites - substances necessary for plant growth - are synthesized, accumulated, and broken down.
