Plant Nutrition - Molecular Biology and Genetics

The scope of this book - the proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Genetics and Molecular Biology of Plant Nutrition - covers a relatively new research area: the genetic and molecular background for plant nutrition. Much of the frontier research today takes place at the interface between the classical scientific disciplines. In this book can be found some of the most recent results of the research carried out in the area where plant nutrition meets with plant genetics and plant biotechnology. It covers areas of major- and micronutrients, heavy metals, plant stress, symbioses, and plant breeding. It contains valuable information for scientists for future research within these disciplines, acting as a guide to pinpoint the important interaction areas.
