Additional sections cover genome-wide analysis of Annexins and their roles in plants, the roles of calmodulin in abiotic stress responses, calcium transport in relation to plant nutrition/biofortification, and much more. Written by leading experts in the field, this title is an essential resource for students and researchers that need all of the information on calcium transport elements in one place.
Calcium transport elements are involved in various structural, physiological and biochemical processes or signal transduction pathways in response to various abiotic and biotic stimuli. Development of high throughput sequencing technology has favored the identification and characterization of numerous gene families in plants in recent years, including the calcium transport elements.
- Provides a complete compilation of detailed information on Ca2+ efflux and influx transporters in plants
- Discusses the mode of action of calcium transport elements and their classification
- Explores the indispensable role of Ca2+ in numerous developmental and stress related pathways
Researchers and students interested in plant molecular biology, plant science, biotechnology and agriculture
