SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Combining an ecosystems approach with new insights at the molecular and biochemical level, this book presents the latest findings on how plants respond, physiologically, to sulfur in their environment. It explores key areas??? such as biotic and abiotic interactions, adaptations to fluctuating supply, and sulfur??'s role in plant metabolic networks??? to assess the functions and implications of this essential plant nutrient in a range of natural, semi-natural and anthropogenic environments. Leaders in the field, Hawkesford and de Kok, draw together an international group of experts in plant.
