Nitric Oxide in Developing Plant Stress Resilience presents a
strong focus on genetics and molecular mechanisms, examining
crosstalk with other signaling molecules and the role this plays in
the alleviation of oxidative damage. Abiotic stress negatively
impacts plants productivity and alters the metabolism at the
cellular or whole plant level, disturbing the mineral nutrients
status, enzyme activities and osmotic homeostasis. Beginning with
the biosynthesis of NO and its mode of action, chapters review
various molecular interactions, including phytohormonal crosstalk,
ROS metabolism, post-translational modification, and nutrients
homeostasis. In addition, the book also highlights genome editing
and proteomic approaches that can be used to manipulate NO
responses. This is an essential resource for students and
researchers interested in plant physiology, biochemistry and
genetics.
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.
The autobiography of a remarkable Italian Alpine soldier that is
startling for its eyewitness reports from some of the most iconic
theatres of the mid-20th century, including the Berlin Olympics,
Albanian and Russian fronts, and the POW camps of Siberia. Upgraded
from the first edition with revised text, more photographs and new
battlefield maps.
Plant Signaling Molecule: Role and Regulation under Stressful
Environments explores tolerance mechanisms mediated by signaling
molecules in plants for achieving sustainability under changing
environmental conditions. Including a wide range of potential
molecules, from primary to secondary metabolites, the book presents
the status and future prospects of the role and regulation of
signaling molecules at physiological, biochemical, molecular and
structural level under abiotic stress tolerance. This book is
designed to enhance the mechanistic understanding of signaling
molecules and will be an important resource for plant biologists in
developing stress tolerant crops to achieve sustainability under
changing environmental conditions.
