Plant Receptors in Cellular Signaling: Key Regulators during Development and Stress Adaptation delves deep into the structural and functional aspects of diverse plant receptors, emphasizing their crucial roles in signaling pathways. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research on receptor-mediated phytohormone signaling and identifies various classes of receptors, their complexes, and their interaction with hormones and growth regulators. It also explores the regulation of signaling components and gene expression, showcasing the intricate relationship between membrane-bound receptors and cytoplasmic receptor-like kinases.
The book highlights the mechanistic operation of receptors in relation to major phytohormones, growth regulators, and metabolites. It explains how receptors detect signals from altered developmental processes, tissue damage, and pathogens, initiating sophisticated cell signaling mechanisms. This work is invaluable to academics and researchers focused on hormone signaling, stress physiology, gene expression analysis, and the broader field of plant cellular signaling mechanisms.

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
