Title: Natural UV radiation in enhancing survival value and quality of plants.
Description: [New Dehli], Springer, [2017 (copyright 2016)]. XIX,204 pp. 45 b./w. ills & 40 col. ills. Orig. hardcover (boards). 8vo. [ISBN: 978-81-322-2765-6].This book is the first of its kind to highlight the positive impact of natural UV radiation on plants through unique adaptations in various metabolic pathways, and provides an evolutionary sketch of the development of molecular mechanisms for protecting plants from solar UV ever since their migration to terrestrial habitats. Experimental evidence is provided for establishing how plants, through their stationary habit in the open field, survive and flourish by developing suitable UV acclimation strategies through the repair of damaged macromolecules and/or upregulation of screening compounds viz. flavonoids. - Text in Englisgh. - Publisher's retail price: € 163,49
