"Stress Biology discusses the impact of various stresses on biological systems with emphasis on crop systems. The forty six contributions in the book have been divided into two broad sections i.e., Abiotic Stresses and Biotic Stresses. The book covers all areas of modern research - biochemistry, plant physiology, pathology, molecular biology, microbiology and related areas connected to the interaction of microbes, plants, animals and environment."--BOOK JACKET.
