Description
Emphasizing the unpredictable nature of plant behaviour under stress and in relation to complex interactions of biological pathways, this work covers the versatility of plants in adapting to environmental change. It analyzes environmentally triggered adaptions in developmental programmes of plants that lead to permanent, heritable DNA modifications.
Table of Contents
- General concepts: introduction to the response of plants to environmental stresses
- the importance of individuality
- plant cell wall modifications induced by adaptation to growth on the herbicide 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile
- gene switches and stress management -modulation of gene expression by transcription factors
- stressful lifestyle-associated mutation in microorganisms
- differentiation of vegetative anabaena cells into nitrogen-fixing heterocysts
- genetic and epigenetic instability in tissue culture and regenerated progenies
- the environment as an active generator of adaptive genomic variation
- the effects of environmental stress on repetitive DNA behaviour in plants
- plant evolution - towards an adaptive theory
