Priming-Mediated Stress and Cross-Stress Tolerance in Crop Plants
1st Edition
Description
Priming-Mediated Stress and Cross-Stress Tolerance in Crop Plants is the first comprehensive overview of the latest understanding of the physiological, biochemical and molecular basis of priming mediated stress tolerance and cross-stress tolerance in plants. Plants have developed unique strategies to respond to ever-changing environmental conditions, which enables them to monitor their surroundings and adjust their metabolic systems to maintain homeostasis. Key components involved in plant stress interactions are discussed in this book, including stress stimulus, signal transduction, transcription regulators, target genes, and stress responses.
These topics have recently attracted considerable interest within the scientific community, as a potential means of stress management and in the production of stress-resistant crops that aid in global food security. Since many studies dealing with a range of plant species, under different conditions, have focused on priming mediated stress and cross-stress tolerance in plants, with recent results indicating that plants have a “memory” process where a past stress exposure enables them to be better prepared for exposure to stress in the future, this book is an ideal reference on the topic.
