Regulation of Nutrient Uptake by Plants: A Biochemical and Molecular Approach - Hardcover

Dr. Gyanendra Nath Mitra, Honorary Professor in The Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar, India was formerly Dean, Faculty of Agriculture and Professor and Head, Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Soil Science and Biochemistry. His academic qualifications include M.Sc (Chemistry), Associate I.A.R.I (Soil science & Agricultural Chemistry) and Ph. D (Biochemistry). Dr. Mitra has offered courses and carried out research in diverse fields with about 100 peer reviewed publications to his credit. Post superannuation he has authored three books. The book 'Regulation of Nutrient Uptake by Plants-A Biochemical and Molecular approach' is a result of his intense effort in a span of 10 years to study thousands of research publications on the subject as they get published and use them to write different sections of 20 chapters of the Book. He has delivered a number of lectures at the Faculty level and in various seminars and symposia and published articles in journalsto attract attention of the research workers and students to get informed on the topic. The author hopes that wide circulation of the book would spur more research on the subject and help in developing crop varieties with superior nutrient use efficiency and beneficial quality parameters.
