Publisher's Synopsis
Plant Stress Responses delves into the intricate mechanisms by which plants perceive, respond, and adapt to various stress conditions at the molecular level. The book explores both biotic and abiotic stressors, such as pathogens, drought, salinity, temperature extremes, and heavy metals, providing a comprehensive understanding of the molecular pathways and regulatory networks involved in plant stress responses.
The aim of this book is to compile the latest research and advancements in the field of plant stress biology, presenting them in a coherent and accessible manner for researchers, academics, and students. It seeks to bridge the gap between fundamental molecular biology and practical applications in agriculture and biotechnology. The scope encompasses a wide range of topics, including signal transduction, gene expression regulation, metabolic adjustments, and the role of epigenetics in stress responses.
