Desiccation and survival in plants: drying without dying
This multi-author book gives a comprehensive account of desiccation and plant survival, and of how plant cells deal with extreme water stress. There is a general introduction on desiccation, and then four sections dealing with: The technical background to desiccation studies, the frequency and levels of dehydration stress tolerance in biological systems, mechanisms of damage and tolerance, and a brief retrospect and prospect. Orthodox and recalcitrant seeds, pollen and spores, vegetative parts, and other plant tissues are covered in detail.
