Adverse environmental factors can impose stress on plants and  influence the expression of the full genetic potential for growth and  reproduction. The capability of plants to develop plastic response  reactions, to adapt to environmental stress situations, is unique in  the biological world. A goal of the research described in this volume  is to increase crop productivity, particular in regions where the  environment imposes stress. An understanding of the principles  involved in plant adaptation to environmental stress will enable  optimisation of practices to improve agronomic production and minimise  damaging environmental impact. The aim of this volume is to link the  rapidly advancing and increasingly specialist field of molecular  biology with plant physiology at the ecosystem level. The book  includes chapters focused on some principle methods and a series of  up-to-date review chapters on plant adaptation to a variety of  specific stresses. The utilisation of newly available genome  information is emphasised. Of particular importance is the desire to  highlight the current potential of such approaches, and how diverse  disciplines can interact and complement one another. The book is aimed  at both the specialist and the advanced student.
