As demand for agricultural crops and improved nutritional requirement continue to escalate in response to increasing population, plant researchers have focused on identifying scientific approaches to minimize the negative impacts of climate change on agriculture crops. Among the various applied approaches, the application of plant growth regulators (PGRs) have gained significant attention for their ability to enhance stress tolerance mechanisms.
This book was developed to provide foundational and emerging information to advance the discovery of novel, cost-competitive, specific and effective PGRs for applications in agriculture.
- Highlights the latest developments in stress signaling, cross-talk and PGR mechanisms as applied to agriculture and agronomy
- Includes case studies and examples to provide real-world insights
- Presents resources for future research and field application
