Efforts to increase efficient nutrient use by crops are of
growing importance as the global demand for food, fibre and fuel
increases and competition for resources intensifies. The Molecular
and Physiological Basis of Nutrient Use Efficiency in Crops
provides both a timely summary of the latest advances in the field
as well as anticipating directions for future research.
The Molecular and Physiological Basis of Nutrient Use Efficiency
in Crops bridges the gap between agronomic practice and molecular
biology by linking underpinning molecular mechanisms to the
physiological and agronomic aspects of crop yield. These chapters
provide an understanding of molecular and physiological mechanisms
that will allow researchers to continue to target and improve
complex traits for crop improvement.
Written by leading international researchers, The Molecular and
Physiological Basis of Nutrient Use Efficiency in Crops will be an
essential resource for the crop science community for years to
come.
Special Features:
?coalesces current knowledge in the areas of efficient
acquisition and utilization of nutrients by crop plants with
emphasis on modern developments
?addresses future directions in crop nutrition in the light of
changing climate patterns including temperature and water
availability
?bridges the gap between traditional agronomy and molecular
biology with focus on underpinning molecular mechanisms and their
effects on crop yield
?includes contributions from a leading team of global experts in
both research and practical settings
