Responses of tall fescue to growth in hydrocarbon-contaminated sand

This book entitled ‘Responses of tall fescue to growth in hydrocarbon-contaminated sand’ illustrates root morphological and physiological modifications occurred in tall fescue plants as adaptive responses to stress. It explains how the structural and molecular modifications resulting from chemical stress enabled the plants to resist tougher challenges at later stages. The author has employed a wide range of scientific techniques including metabolite identification electron microscopy and epi-fluorescence microscopy to demonstrate her research. The book is well-written; the results including stunning microscopic images are presented clearly and discussed critically.
