Impact of High Night Temperature on Plant Biology

Comprehensively covers the physiology of night-time warming, trait responses, advanced tools for phenotyping, and alleviation and mitigation strategies. Discusses HNT in detail and its effect on plant growth and development. Covers impact of HNT on plant metabolism and crucial plant processes with reproductive stage effects. The persistence of higher night-time temperatures (HNT) over long periods during the crop cycle can potentially impact a wide range of growth and developmental stages. The major processes drastically affected by night-time warming, such as photosynthesis, respiration, etc., ultimately cause yield and economic losses. Despite this, HNT has not been significantly researched regarding its impact on plants. This new book provides a comprehensive understanding of the physiology of night-time warming, trait responses, advanced tools for phenotyping, and alleviation and mitigation strategies.
