Summary "Based on advances in genomics and proteomics, this book compiles recent developments in the identification, isolation and characterization of plant membrane and vacuolar transporters. Current knowledge is evaluated to assess the potential of transporters to enhance nutrient use efficiency in crops, increase crops' ability to withstand nutrient stresses and improve nutrient storage. Written by leading experts, chapters are organized to give a detailed insight to students, researchers and industrialists in the fields of biotechnology, plant science and molecular biology."--Jacket
