This book constitutes a compilation of select articles presented at a workshop on 'Plant Physiology-Characteristics, Breeding and Genetics' held in June 2001 at Babtai Horticultural Research Institute, Babtai, Kaunas, Lithuania. This book focuses on factors affecting physiological changes occurring during the growth and development of plants with a view to crop breeding. It will be useful to scientists, researchers, students, and experts dealing with plant physiology, plant biotechnology, plant pathology, breeding, and genetics.
