Description

Phytohormones and Stress Responsive Secondary Metabolites provides a deep dive into the signaling pathways associated with phytohormones and phytometabolites. With a strong focus on plant stress responses and DNA technology, the book highlights plant biotechnology and metabolic engineering principles. Biotechnology, by using DNA editing technologies, allows the expression of plant genes into other plant species with desirable modulation on plant behavior. Beginning with an overview of phytohormone signaling, growth and abiotic and biotic stresses, subsequent chapters explore DNA modification strategies, epigenetic and epigenomic regulation, and miRNA regulation.

This book will be an essential resource for students, researchers and agriculturalists interested in plant physiology, plant genetics and plant biotechnology.

Key features

  • Provides a comprehensive review of phytohormone and phytometabolite signaling pathways
  • Highlights recombinant DNA technology and therapeutic potential
  • Analyzes plant stress responses under both abiotic and biotic stresses

Readership

Researchers and students interested in plant physiology, plant biochemistry and plant hormones.
