The Plant Hormone Ethylene: Stress Acclimation and Agricultural
Applications presents current knowledge on our understanding of
ethylene perception and signaling, its role in the regulation of
plant physiological processes, and its contribution to acclimation
in stressful environments. Plants regularly face environmental
constraints due to their immobile nature. In persistently changing
environmental conditions, several stress factors influence cellular
metabolism, ultimately causing reduced plant growth and development
with a significant loss in agricultural productivity. Sustainable
agriculture depends on the acclimation of plant processes to the
changing environment through altered physiological and molecular
responses, which are controlled by plant hormones, including
ethylene. Ethylene interacts with other plant hormones and
signaling molecules to regulate several cellular processes, plant
growth and development, and, ultimately, crop productivity. This
book begins with an introduction to ethylene before providing a
detailed study of the latest findings on the role of ethylene in
plants, including its role in photosynthetic processes, flower
development, leaf senescence, nutrients acquisition, and regulation
of abiotic stress responses as well as its application in
agriculture. The book is an ideal guide for researchers exploring
plant physiology and biochemistry as well as for those
investigating the use of ethylene knowledge in agriculture in
persistently changing environmental conditions.
