This comprehensive compilation of the latest research and understanding into the important role of receptor-mediated phytohormone signaling identifies the various classes of receptors and receptor complexes, their interaction with hormones and growth regulators, as well as exploring the regulation of signaling components and gene expression. Presenting structural and functional aspects of diverse plant receptors and their participation in signaling transduction pathways, the book demonstrates the relationship between various membrane-bound receptors and cytoplasmic receptor-like kinases, which play crucial roles in hormone signaling and vital physiological processes. Plant Receptors in Cellular Signaling: Key Regulators during Development and Stress Adaptation explains the mechanistic operation of receptors as they relate to major phytohormone, growth regulators and metabolites. This insight enables understanding of the highly evolved surveillance system that is capable of detecting a broad range of signals generated by altered developmental process, tissue damage, pathogens and others that in turn initiate additional sophisticated molecular mechanisms of cell signaling. This book will be beneficial to academics and researchers working on various receptors and cellular signaling mechanism in plants, and in related fields including hormone signaling, stress physiology and gene expression analysis.
- Covers the different families of membrane-bound receptors
- Emphasizes the receptors for major phytohormones and growth regulators
- Explains the mechanism of signal transduction from the membrane to the nucleus via cytoplasm during different developmental processes and stress adaptation in plants

Aryadeep Roychoudhury
Prof. (Dr.) Aryadeep Roychoudhury is currently serving as Professor in the Discipline of Life Sciences, School of Sciences, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), New Delhi. Before joining IGNOU, he worked as Assistant Professor at the Post Graduate Department of Biotechnology, St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous), Kolkata. Prof. Roychoudhury did B.Sc. (Honours) in Botany from Presidency College, Kolkata, and M.Sc. in Biophysics and Molecular Biology from University of Calcutta. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Science from Bose Institute, Kolkata under Jadavpur University in the area of Plant Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. He has been associated with the molecular regulation of late embryogenesis abundant genes and the basic leucine zipper group of transcription factors, governing salt tolerance in rice. His post doctoral research was based on translational research on transgenic rice with enhanced salt and drought tolerance. His current research interests include physiological and molecular responses and cell signaling of plants during diverse abiotic stresses including fluoride, heavy metals, salinity and drought. He holds 23 years of research experience in the concerned discipline. Prof. Roychoudhury has handled several government-funded projects on abiotic stress responses in rice and supervised five Ph.D. students as sole principal investigator. To date, he has published over 260 articles in peer- reviewed journals and chapters in books of international and national repute. He has already edited 14 books from reputed publishers and has also guest edited special issues in several renowned international journals. Prof. Roychoudhury is the recipient of the Young Scientist Award 2019, conferred by the International Foundation for Environment and Ecology, at the University of Allahabad, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. His name is included in the Stanford University’s List of World’s Top 2% Most Influential Scientists
