However, when the stress exceeds the normal tolerance level, plants accumulate organic osmolytes, osmoprotectants, cryoprotectants and antioxidant enzymes, which helps them tolerate these stresses and assist in their acclimatization towards the particular ambiance needed for maintaining their growth and development.

From the reviews: "The presentation of the topics is consistent throughout the book. A 'Conclusions and Future Prospects' section in each chapter encapsulates the contents of the chapter and discusses future areas of investigation. The depth of the material presented makes the work appropriate for graduate students in plant physiology courses, as either a textbook or supplementary reading. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and researchers/faculty." (J. L. Hatfield, Choice, Vol. 51 (9), May, 2014)
