MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF PLANT ADAPTATION
TO THE ENVIRONMENT
Springer Handbook Series of Plant Ecophysiology
Volume 1
Series Editors:
Luit J. De Kok and Ineke Stulen
University of Groningen,
The Netherlands
Aims & Scope:
The Kluwer Handbook Series of Plant Ecophysiology comprises a series of books that deals with the
impact of biotic and abiotic factors on plant functioning and physiological adaptation to the
environment. The aim of the Plant Ecophysiology series is to review and integrate the present
knowledge on the impact of the environment on plant functioning and adaptation at various levels of
integration: from the molecular, biochemical, physiological to a whole plant level. This Handbook
series is of interest to scientists who like to be informed of new developments and insights in plant
ecophysiology, and can be used as advanced textbooks for biology students.
