Defense-related Proteins in Plants presents detailed information on these important mechanisms in plants, including their identification, characterization, mechanism of action, and application in crop improvement programs in a single, cohesive, and comprehensive volume. The foundational information included enables understanding of these proteins and their application in crop improvement programs. The book is a complete guide about defense-related proteins in plants for various categories of readers that will inspire future research into the unexplored areas of molecular aspects of these proteins to understand their role and action mechanism in plants and living organisms as a whole.Defense-related proteins have drawn the attention of various plant and agricultural scientists and industries because they provide generalized direct stress tolerance in crop plants. These proteins including lectins, chitinases, thaumatin, and osmotin, among others, have been used for the development of transgenic plants to provide protection against various abiotic and biotic stresses. While there is a breadth of research and application information available, it has not, until now, been compiled into a single volume for ease of comparison and translational work.

Microbial Biostimulants for Plant Growth and Abiotic Stress Amelioration, the latest release in the Biostimulants and Protective Biochemical Agents series, provides readers with insights into the major role of biostimulants in plant growth and development while under abiotic stress. The term biostimulants is broadly used to reference a group of diverse substances and microorganisms that stimulate life or that promote favorable plant responses. They stimulate natural processes to enhance/benefit nutrient uptake, nutrient efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, and crop quality.Many biostimulants improve nutrition and they do so regardless of their own nutrient contents. Further, recently microbe-based biostimulants have emerged as important plant protectors under a range of adverse conditions.
