Bücher der Reihe Plant Ecophysiology

This book takes an in-depth look at diverse plant-phosphorus interactions in natural and agricultural environments. It presents a wealth of information on the genetic and phenotypic variation in natural plant ecosystems adapted to low P availability.

Combining an ecosystems approach with new insights at the molecular and biochemical level, this book presents the latest findings on how plants respond, physiologically, to sulfur in their environment. It explores key areas - such as biotic and abiotic interactions, adaptations to fluctuating supply, and sulfur's role in plant metabolic networks - to assess the functions and implications of this essential plant nutrient in a range of natural, semi-natural and anthropogenic environments.Leaders in the field, Hawkesford and de Kok, draw together an international group of experts in plant sulfur nutrition, to collate and integrate new information from molecular biology, ecology and physiology. The result is an important new reference on the relationships between plants and sulfur at all levels - including contributions arising from recent 'omic' approaches. With implications for issues such as agriculture, forestry, water management and ecosystem restoration, this book is relevant to a wide audience, from graduate level students and researchers, to policy makers and practitioners.

This book covers many facets of plant selenium (Se) accumulation: molecular genetics, biochemistry, physiology, and ecological and evolutionary aspects. Selenium in plants has profound ecological impact, and likely contributes to Se movement in ecosystems and global Se cycling.

This book delivers current state-of-the-science knowledge of tree ecophysiology, with particular emphasis on adaptation to a novel future physical and chemical environment. The authors have addressed two systems essential for plant life: water handling capacity from the perspective of water transport;

Nutrient Use Efficiency in Plants: Concepts and Approaches is the ninth volume in the Plant Ecophysiology series. Nutrient use efficiency (NUE) is a measure of how well plants use the available mineral nutrients.

Glutathione is a thiol-containing tripeptide, which appears to be present in nearly all living organisms and which is involved in many important metabolic and physiological processes.

Yield improvement and accumulation of essential nitrogen compounds is relying on selection and gene technologies.Research on the uptake, acquisition and assimilation of nitrogen, as well as the synthesis and storage of reserve and defence N-compounds, therefore, is essential.

In the last decade, enormous progress has been made on the physiology of plant roots, including on a wide range of molecular aspects. thaliana is therefore pivotal, to develop new knowledge in plant sciences in a comprehensive manner.

Natural and agro-ecosystems are frequently exposed to natural or synthetic substances, which, while they have no direct nutritional value or significance in metabolism, may negatively affect plant functioning.
