Free Global Shipping
No minimum orderDescription
The growth of human population has increased the demand for improved yield and quality of crops and horticultural plants. However, plant productivity continues to be threatened by stresses such as heat, cold, drought, heavy metals, UV radiations, bacterial and fungal pathogens, and insect pests. Long noncoding RNAs are associated with various developmental pathways, regulatory systems, abiotic and biotic stress responses and signaling, and can provide an alternative strategy for stress management in plants. Long Noncoding RNAs in Plants: Roles in development and stress provides the most recent advances in LncRNAs, including identification, characterization, and their potential applications and uses. Introductory chapters include the basic features and brief history of development of lncRNAs studies in plants. The book then provides the knowledge about the lncRNAs in various important agricultural and horticultural crops such as cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables, and fiber crop cotton, and their roles and applications in abiotic and biotic stress management.

LncRNA in plants
As per the diverse content and coverage, this is going to be a landmark bok in the area of long noncoding RNA in plants. Editor is also having good experience in the area of lncRNA research, therefore it was much expected from him to came up with a good collection. I would suggest the editor to have a series of book on non-coding RNA with various updates every year for the benfit of students, researchers and scientists.

Long Non-coding RNAs in Plants
It seems to be the best book for the students and researchers working in the area of Long Non-coding RNAs in Plants. Editor has covered very wide aspects from introduction of lncRNA to their databases, roles in development and various stresses, mechanism of functions etc. Further, he has collected the articles covering almost each group of plants of agricultural and horticultural importance such cereals, legumes, fruits, vegetables, oil yielding, fiber crops, etc. It seems to be an unique collection.
