Features: This book is written based on the latest advancements in the research of plant stress physiology and the severe water-saving situation. It is divided into ten chapters. First, it begins with the physiological and biochemical changes of plants under drought stress, primarily analyzing the relationship between important biochemical substances such as plant hormones, reactive oxygen species, and calcium with drought resistance. It particularly introduces the recent progress in drought signal transduction research, systematically summarizes the regulatory effects of fertilization and plant growth regulators on crop drought resistance, and elaborates in detail the mechanisms and technical approaches for efficient water use in water-limited wheat fields. This book can serve as a reference for agricultural scientists, university students, and graduate students.
