Heavy metal contamination of soil and water causing toxicity/stress has become one
important constraint to crop productivity and quality. This situation has further worsened by …

Industrial revolution brought prodigious encroachment on agricultural productivity but at
apparent environmental costs. One of the major unfortunate consequences of …

Aluminum (Al) precipitates in acidic soils having a pH< 5.5, in the form of conjugated organic
and inorganic ions. Al-containing minerals solubilized in the soil solution cause several …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Aluminium (Al) toxicity is one of the major abiotic stress problems around the globe where
acidic soil is present. Al shows a toxic effect between the soil pH 4.5 and 5.5. Root growth …

Plants exposed to sub-lethal abiotic stress conditions exhibit a broad range of morphogenic
responses. Despite the diversity of phenotypes, a generic 'stress-induced morphogenic …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Growth, in particular reorganization of the root system architecture, mineral homeostasis and
root hormone distribution were studied in Arabidopsis thaliana upon copper excess. Five …

Aluminum toxicity is an important stress factor for plants in acidic environments. During the
last decade considerable advances have been made in both techniques to assess the …

Aluminum (Al) stress is one of the serious limiting factors in plant productivity in acidic soils,
which constitute about 50% of the world's potentially arable lands and causes anywhere …
