Nitric Oxide in Developing Plant Stress Resilience presents a strong focus on genetics and molecular mechanisms, examining crosstalk with other signaling molecules and the role this plays in the alleviation of oxidative damage. Abiotic stress negatively impacts plants productivity and alters the metabolism at the cellular or whole plant level, disturbing the mineral nutrients status, enzyme activities and osmotic homeostasis. Beginning with the biosynthesis of NO and its mode of action, chapters review various molecular interactions, including phytohormonal crosstalk, ROS metabolism, post-translational modification, and nutrients homeostasis.
In addition, the book also highlights genome editing and proteomic approaches that can be used to manipulate NO responses. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in plant physiology, biochemistry and genetics.
- Highlights how Nitric Oxide acts as a signaling molecule and the ways in which this can help plants develop stress tolerance
- Discusses how NO interacts with other signaling molecules, including crosstalk
- Considers the advances and future implications of NO in agriculture
2. Nitric Oxide signaling in plants under optimal and stressful conditions
3. NO and photosynthesis under stress conditions
4. Interaction between NO and H2S in plant growth and development under stress
5. Regulatory role of nitric oxide in plants and its crosstalk with phytohormones
6. Impact of nitric oxide on the managing ROS Metabolism
7. Nitric oxide good or bad in adverse climatic conditions
8. Nitric oxide as a modulator of oxidative stress and antioxidant metabolism in plant
9. Importance of post-translational modification by NO and H2S under abiotic stress
10. Crosstalk between RNS, ROS and RSS under abiotic stress
11. H2O2 and NO interaction under stress
12. Nitric oxide and biotic stress in plants
13. Nutrients homeostasis and NO in plants
14. Genome editing/genomics/metabolomics/proteomics approaches to manipulate nitric oxide responses
15. Advances and Future Prospect of Nitric Oxide in Agriculture
