Descrição do Produto

This edited book provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of the stress adaptation and utilization of the halophyte Sesuvium portulacastrum in bio-saline agriculture. The book focuses on plant's defense mechanisms to various abiotic stresses, including salt, drought, toxic metals, dyes, effluents, and nutrient deficiency. The book highlights the potential applications of S. portulacastrum in environmental protection, such as, desalination, and phytoremediation. One of the key features of the book is its exploration of the adaptation mechanisms of S. portulacastrum to environmental stresses at morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical, molecular, proteomic, and metabolomic levels. This in-depth analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of how Sesuvium withstands harsh environments and, this could potentially serve as a model for investigations on other plants and in developing salt tolerant plants. The book also provides directions for utilizing S. portulacastrum in bio-saline agriculture. The book is a valuable resource for researchers, agronomists, and policymakers interested in developing sustainable agriculture practices in regions affected by salinity and other environmental stresses.
