Description : Higher plants are sessile and therefore cannot escape hostile environmental conditions that are a constant threat throughout their lifecycle. Unfavorable growth conditions such as extreme temperatures, drought, flood, and contamination of soils with high salt concentrations are considered the major abiotic environmental stressors that can not only limit plant growth and development, but also determine the geographic distribution of plant species and directly affect agronomical yield. Explores amino acids in a range of environmental conditions to enable accurate assessment and response Presents comprehensive insights into the practical application of amino acids for specific stress scenarios Provides in-depth details of metabolic and signaling functions of amino acids
