Description
Volume 72 is wholly dedicated to the topic of plant hormones. Although
Vitamins and Hormones is normally dedicated to
mammalian hormone action, this volume is unique to plants and their actions through receptors. The genetic aspects and the receptorology
are reminiscent of the mammlian systems. The well-known hormones are reviewed including cytokinins, abscicic acid, gibberellin and auxin.
In addition there are reviews on nitric oxide, brassinosteroids, jasmonate, ethylene, and pheromones. Other topics included are
genes that are regulated by abscicic acid and gibberellin, functional differentiation and transition of peroxisomes, plant antioxidants,
gravitropic bending and the actions of plant hormones on glutathione transferase.
Included in series
Vitamins and Hormones
Audience:
Researchers in plant biology and molecular biology; graduate students and undergraduates interested in horticulture/agriculture; students
of modern biology needing current information on plant hormone research
