Abiotic Stress Response in Plants is written by Narendra Tuteja and published by John Wiley & Sons. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3527694595 (ISBN 10) and 9783527694594 (ISBN 13).

Understanding abiotic stress responses in plants is critical for the development of new varieties of crops, which are better adapted to harsh climate conditions. The new book by the well-known editor team Narendra Tuteja and Sarvajeet Gill provides a comprehensive overview on the molecular basis of plant responses to external stress like drought or heavy metals, to aid in the engineering of stress resistant crops. After a general introduction into the topic, the following sections deal with specific signaling pathways mediating plant stress response. The last part covers translational plant physiology, describing several examples of the development of more stress-resistant crop varieties.
