Molecular Biology of Plant Stress Responses

by Muhammad Waseem (Editor)

Molecular Biology of 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. 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. This book is essential reading for researchers and graduate students in the fields of plant sciences, molecular biology, biotechnology, and related disciplines and agricultural and biotechnology industry professionals working in agricultural biotechnology, crop science, and related industries who are involved in the development of stress-resistant crops and sustainable agricultural practices.
