Employing the tools of biochemistry, biophysics, and molecular biology to explore various levels of plant organization, this unique reference details current knowledge of the mechanisms of plant growth and productivity and describes state-of-the-art techniques to isolate, characterize, and manipulate specific plant genes in order to enhance plant productivity -- critically appraising cell and tissue culture approaches for plant improvement. Discussing the basic and applied aspects of plant nutrition and growth regulation, Mechanisms of Plant Growth and Improved Productivity highlights photoassimilate transport ... investigates symbiotic nitrogen fixation ... examines the physiology, genetics, and molecular biology of nitrate uptake, reduction, and regulation ... analyzes the influence of action of plant growth regulators ... considers plant resistance to adverse conditions in the ambient environment ... delineates how atmospheric carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxides, and chlorofluorocarbons affect plant productivity ... and more. Exhaustively referenced with over 2575 literature citations, Mechanisms of Plant Growth and Improved Productivity is essential reading for plant, crop, soil, and environmental scientists; agriculturalists; horticulturists; agronomists; plant physiologists; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students in these disciplines.
