Plant growth regulators in agriculture and horticulture : their role and commercial uses /

作者：  Amarjit S. Basra, editor.

出版社：

简介：Provides professionals and researchers with information needed to tap into resources for enhancing crop production. Looks at the commercial uses of plant growth regulators (PGRs) in agriculture and horticulture, using selected examples, and examines their regulatory roles in plant growth and development, employing modern experimental methods. Chapters cover control of root formation by PGRs, manipulating yield potential in cereals, regulation of gibberellins, the role of PGRs in the postharvest life of ornamentals, and the role of PGRs in citriculture. Useful for those in plant physiology, agricultural chemistry, agronomy, soil science, and forestry. Basra is affiliated with Punjab Agricultural University. Annotation c.

简介：Basra (Punjab Agricultural U. in Ludhiana, India; now visiting scientist, agronomy and range science, U. of California, Davis) has gathered eight studies by an international group of specialists in agricultural science, horticulture, genetics, biology, biotechnology, and genomics. Topics include: mechanisms of chilling injury and tolerance, chilling effects on active oxygen species, root system functions during chilling temperatures, mechanisms of cold acclimation, signal transduction under low-temperature stress, mechanisms of thermotolerance, control of the heat shock response in crop plants, and effects of heat stress on cereal yield and quality.
