Increasing crop productivity is an immediate concern today as population growth and climate change bring new fears for food security and challenges to agriculture. Crop anatomy, intrinsically linked with the environment and better genetic potential for productivity, could be the key to creating more adaptable, productive sources of food. Divided into four sections covering anatomy in relation to crop management, anatomical descriptions of the major crop plants, anatomical changes in adaptation to environments and the link between anatomy and productivity, this book provides a comprehensive source of crop plant anatomy information. The crop areas covered include cereals, pulses and beans, oil crops and fibre crops. By bringing together economic plant anatomy, crop productivity and biotic and abiotic stress adaptation, this book creates one central resource suitable for students, researchers and professionals of crop science and plant anatomy. Very good, clean condition overall, though
