"[A] comprehensive look at the most up-to-date information about major cation transporters as well as the development of various new strategies to cope with the adverse effects of various abiotic and biotic stresses. The introduction of high-throughput sequencing technologies has enabled the indentification and characterization of numerous cation transporters encoding gene families in plants. In the past few decades, several important cation transporters have been identified and characterized from various model and crop plants. Understanding those transporters and means of utilizing them is important in developing new tools for improved yields. This book provides foundational knowledge of the origin and mechanism of cation homeostasis and the role of cations in developmental transition and stress regulation. It further aids agricultural research and industries in realizing the future of crop designing strategies, providing an alternative strategy for abiotic and biotic stress management in agricultural and horticultural crops. This book serves as an important resource for scientists and industry professionals who want to enhance their knowledge about cation transport in plants"--Print version, page 4 of cover
