This volume addresses issues and concerns related to plant and crop stress, detailing interrelated topics. Written by over 50 renowned scientists, specialists, and researchers in the field from 12 countries, the "Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress": discusses soil salinity and sodicity problems and their effects on crop growth; covers plants and crops with different degrees of salt tolerance as well as their response to salt, drought, and other stresses; introduces plants and crops suitable for cultivation under stressful conditions; presents another source of irrigation water for arid and semiarid regions; and explores the beneficial effects of stress on plants and crops. This reference is intended for plant, crop, soil, and environmental scientists; agriculturists; horticulturalists; agronomists; plant physiologists; botanists; biochemists; foresters; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students in these disciplines.

Part 2 Plants, crops, and stressful conditions: plants in saline environments, Alexandra Poljakoff-Mayber and H.R. Lerner; mechanisms involved in salt tolerance by plants, Benjamin Jacoby; general aspects of salinity and the biology of saline plants, David N. Sen and Sher Mohammed. Part 3 Plant and crop response to salt, water, and other environmental stress conditions: crop response and management on salt-affected soils, Leland E. Francois and Eugene V. Maas; crop response to salt stress - seawater application and prospects, E.R.R. Iyengar and M.P. Reddy; mineral nutrient acquisition and response by plants grown in saline environments, Stephen R. Grattan and Catherine M. Grieve; nutrient uptake by plants under stress conditions, Syed Manzoor Alam; constraints by water stress on plant growth, Francisco I. Pugnaire et al; altered nitrogen metabolism under environmental stress conditions, Etienne Rabe; protein synthesis by plants under stressful conditions, R.S. Dubey. Part 4 Molecular biology and microbiological aspects of plant responses under salt, water, and other environmental stress conditions: cell elongation control under stress conditions, Grant R. Cramer and Daniel C. Bowman; genome size and environmental stress in gymnosperm crops, Ronald James Newton et al; cellular and molecular responses to water deficit stress in woody plants, Edward A. Funkhouser et al; osmoregulatory role of proline in water- and salt-stressed plants, Bruria Heuer; plant hormones and stress phenomena, Syed Shamshad Mehdi Naqvi; abscisic acid under drought and salt stress, Wolfram Hartung and William J. Davies. Part 5 Empirical investigations of specific plants and crops grown under saline, drought, and other environmental stress conditions: response of green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) to salt stress, Mohammad Pessarakli; salinity and the production of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), Steven E. Smith; response of maize (Zea mays L.) to salinity, Grant R. Cramer; general effects of salt stress on growth and symbiotic nitrogen fixation in soybean, Ranga Velagaleti and Sarah M. Schweitzer; response of temperate forage legumes to waterlogging and salinity, Clive L. Noble, Mary-Jane E. Rogers; salinity tolerance in atriplex species - fodder shrubs of arid lands, Cyrus M. McKell; juncus and kochia - fiber-and fodder-producing halophytes under salinity and aridity stress, M.A. Zahran. Part 6 Future promise - plants and crops for cultivation under stressful conditions: potential plants and crops for cultivation under moderately saline conditions, Rolf Carlsson; chenopodiaceae species-salt-tolerant plants for green biomass and grain production, Rolf Carlsson; strategies and scope for improving salinity tolerance in crop plants, G.V. Subbarao, Chris Johansen. (Part Contents).
