The plant breeding approach  complements, and in some cases may replace agronomic practices such as  the use of fertilizers and soil amendments to provide solutions which  are economically and environmentally sustainable.  The Symposium at which the papers in this volume were presented drew  together workers in plant breeding, plant nutrition, physiology,  biochemistry and molecular biology to discuss research on gene systems  which affect the mineral nutrition of plants. Papers describe  successes in plant breeding for problem soils as well as advances in  understanding of mechanisms at the whole plant and cellular levels.  Papers in the 'molecular' area point the way to the contribution which  the new biology will make to this field in the future.  The reviews and research papers are grouped under five topics :  Better plants for acid soils;  Salinity tolerance;  Efficiency of uptake and use of macronutrients;  Efficiency for iron and micronutrients;  Tolerance of heavy metals and boron.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401047210\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-1650-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 260cm x195cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 416\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398567784588,"sku":"9789401047210","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401047210.jpg?v=1755437677","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789401047210","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
