Cation Transporters in Plants presents expert information on the major cation transporters, along with developments of various new strategies to cope with the adverse effects of abiotic and biotic stresses. The book will serve as a very important repository for the scientist, researcher, academician and industrialist to enhance their knowledge about cation transport in plants. Further, applications listed in the book will facilitate future developments in crop designing strategies. This comprehensive resource provides an alternative strategy for abiotic and biotic stress management in agricultural and horticultural crops. In addition, it will further improve basic knowledge om the origin and mechanism of cation homeostasis and their role in developmental transition and stress regulation. Contains in-depth knowledge about various cation transporters in plants Provides information about important macro and micronutrient cation transporters and their applications in the agricultural and biotechnology sectors Facilitates agricultural scientists and industries in future crop designing strategies Provides an alternative strategy for abiotic and biotic stress management in agricultural and horticultural crops INDICE: 1.
