Water Stress Condition on Growth & Biochemical Changes in C3&C4 Plants C Jabasingh

Plant growth depends on the use of two important natural resources, soil and water. Soil provides the mechanical and nutrient support necessary for plant growth. Water is essential for plant life processes. Effective management of these resources for crop production requires the producer to understand relationships between soil, water and plants. Knowledge about available soil water and soil texture will make deciding what crops to plant and when to irrigate easier. When these contents are low, it affects the growth and development of plant. We can identify the biochemical changes of C3 (rice) and C4 (maize) plants during water stress and determines how plants react in stressful condition, to identify the changes in morphological growth, physiological, chlorophyll contents, biochemical contents and enzyme contents. Through this book we can identify the importance of water and good types of soil for rice and maize cultivation.
