Adaptations and responses of Woody Plants to Environmental Stresses covers the latest and most significant advanceds in woody plant stress research. The authors are world-renowned researchers who have made significance contributions to the knowledge of woody plant stress physiology and molecular biology. With figures, tables, graphs, illustrations, and black-and-white and color photos documenting the studies of these researchers and scientists, this book offers a new awareness of the physiology and molecular and molecular biology of cold acclimation in woody plants. This book will appeal to graduate students, instructors, and researchers who specialize in plant stress physiology in botany, agriculture, horticulture, landscape design, or forestry.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Rajeev Arora
Rajiv Arora, PhD, is Associate Professor in the Department of Horticulture at Iowa State University. Dr. Arora is the Author or co-author of over 50 contributions to scientific journals and is Associate editor (development Physiology) of Journal of American Society for Horticultural Science. He is also on the editorial board of tree Physiology. Primary focus of Dr. Arora’s research program is to understand the cellular physiology, molecular biology and genetics of plant’s response to low temperature stress. His research on the specific membrane perturbations during freeze-thaw injury in herbaceous plants and physiological and genetic analysis of cold acclimation and endodormancy in woody perennials has been published in the leading plant biology journals and is widely cited. Dr. Arora is a member of American Society for Horticultural Science (ASHS), American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB) and American Rhododendron Society, and has presented several invited seminars at national and international conferences on Plant Cold hardiness research. He has receives Outstanding Paper/Research Presentation Awards from USDA-ARS and ASHS and is a recipient of Gamma Sigma delta faculty merit Award.
