Root functioning under stress conditions: An introduction

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant and Soil Sciences ((DPSS,volume 36))

Abstract

The only difference from the usual approach in plant sciences is that the experimental plants are exposed to suboptimal environmental conditions or even severe conditions, the so-called stress conditions.
