Stomata Regulation and Water Use Efficiency in Plants under Saline Soil Conditions

Advances in Botanical Research, Volume 103 provides a timely and comprehensive update on the current knowledge of stomata development and operation in salt-grown plants. The range of topics covered includes evolution of stomata for adaptation to saline conditions, comparative analysis of proteomic, transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles of stomata guard cells between halophytes and glycophyte species and their reprogramming under salt stress, the molecular nature of the signals that control stomata aperture and their integration at the cellular and whole-plant level, and ecophysiological aspects of stomata operation in crop and halophytes species.

• Written by leading international experts in the field
• Provides a comprehensive update on several hot topics in one volume
• Integrates information at various levels of plant functional organization, from molecular to whole-plant level
