With expert insights, this book addresses those concepts through curated chapters that are well-illustrated with informative data, tables, figures, and photographs. While biological microRNA database resources have been created for the better understanding of structural and functional properties of primary-microRNAs (pri-microRNAs) to mature microRNAs, there remains a need for foundation understanding of how microRNAs may play a very crucial role in a plant lifecycle as an regulatory and stress tolerance molecule.
There are still many unanswered questions about the structural and functional properties of the microRNAs, like the role of microRNA in crop improvement, gene regulation, stress tolerance, disease resistance plant, plant communication, and environmental interaction.
- Explains the role of microRNA in biotic and abiotic stress tolerance in horticultural crops
- Includes both foundational and more advanced information on MicroRNAs in plants
- Incorporates detailed information on specific microRNA (or non-coding RNA) gene networks in plant species

Rahul Datta
Dr Rahul Datta is Asst. Professor in the field of Soil Science currently is working at Mendel University in Brno, Czech Republic. His research has focused largely on increasing crop productivity using “green” and sustainable methods. Some of the most notable problems he has addressed through his research are drought stress, heavy metal toxicity in soil, and climate change greenhouse gas. His research has helped in increasing the quality and productivity of staple crops like wheat maize, barley, rice, and other crops like mangoes, spinach, and cotton. His work has been cited in excess of 2200 times. He has published extensively and is an editorial board member of the journals PlosOne, Sustainability (MDPI), BMC Plant Biology and Open Agriculture, in which he is overseeing a special issue on current trends in agriculture (MDPI). At present, He is also a member of the Soil Science Society of America.
