Plant Toxicology (Books in Soils, Plants & the Environment)

Hock and Elstner, who have published over 500 papers on plants and plant disease, compile the work of experts worldwide in this update made necessary by the ever-increasing number of toxic compounds entering the environment. After reviewing plant features, including metabolism, with respect to contaminant susceptibility, this seminal work focuses on the recognition and prevention of damage associated with pollutants, adhering to the princple that plants are not isolated, but exist as participants in complex environments. Augmented by some 1500 references, the book considers viruses, subviral organisms, phytoplasmas, fungal and bacterial pathogens, providing a foundation for further research.
