From the Back Cover

An understanding of crop physiology and ecophysiology enables the horticulturist to manipulate a plant's metabolism towards the production of compounds that are beneficial for human health when that plant is part of the diet or the source of phytopharmaceutical compounds.

The first part of the book introduces the concept of Controlled Environment Horticulture as a horticultural production technique used to maximize yields via the optimization of access to growing factors. The second part describes the use of this production technique in order to induce stress responses in the plant via the modulation of these growing factors and, importantly, the way that this manipulation induces defence reactions in the plant resulting in the production of compounds beneficial for human health. The third part provides guidance for the implementation of this knowledge in horticultural production.

Christoph-Martin Geilfus, horticulturist and agronomist, born in 1983, studied Agriculture and Agrobiotechnology in Giessen, Germany. He received a doctorate and habilitated in Plant Nutrition in Kiel, Germany. After working as a visiting professor in Leuven, Belgium, he was appointed as Professor for Controlled Environment Horticulture at Berlin, Germany. His research interests include horticulture, the mineral nutrition of crops, apoplastic stress signalling and guard cell biology.
