Plant Receptors in Cellular Signaling: Key Regulators during Development and Stress Adaptation presents insights into structural and functional aspects of diverse plant receptors and their participation in signaling transduction pathways. 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.

Plant Cell Biology, Second Edition: From Astronomy to Zoology connects the fundamentals of plant anatomy, plant physiology, plant growth and development, plant taxonomy, plant biochemistry, plant molecular biology, and plant cell biology. It covers all aspects of plant cell biology without emphasizing any one plant, organelle, molecule, or technique. Although most examples are biased towards plants, basic similarities between all living eukaryotic cells (animal and plant) are recognized and used to best illustrate cell processes. This is a must-have reference for scientists with a background in plant anatomy, plant physiology, plant growth and development, plant taxonomy, and more.

Plant Hormones: Biosynthesis and Mechanisms of Action is based on research funded by the Chinese government’s National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). This book brings a fresh understanding of hormone biology, particularly molecular mechanisms driving plant hormone actions. With growing understanding of hormone biology comes new outlooks on how mankind values and utilizes the built-in potential of plants for improvement of crops in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. This book is a comprehensive description of all major plant hormones: how they are synthesized and catabolized; how they are perceived by plant cells; how they trigger signal transduction; how they regulate gene expression; how they regulate plant growth, development and defense responses; and how we measure plant hormones. This is an exciting time for researchers interested in plant hormones. Plants rely on a diverse set of small molecule hormones to regulate every aspect of their biological processes including development, growth, and adaptation. Since the discovery of the first plant hormone auxin, hormones have always been the frontiers of plant biology. Although the physiological functions of most plant hormones have been studied for decades, the last 15 to 20 years have seen a dramatic progress in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of hormone actions. The publication of the whole genome sequences of the model systems of Arabidopsis and rice, together with the advent of multidisciplinary approaches has opened the door to successful experimentation on plant hormone actions.

Plant Cell Biology is a semester long course for undergraduates and graduate students which integrates mathematics and physics, two years of chemistry, genetics, biochemistry and evolution disciplines. Having taught this course for over ten years, the author uses his expertise to relate the background established in plant anatomy, plant physiology, plant growth and development, plant taxonomy, plant biochemistry, and plant molecular biology courses to plant cell biology. This integration attempts to break down the barrier so plant cell biology is seen as an entrée into higher science.Distinguishing this book from papers that are often used for teaching the subject which use a single plant to demonstrate the techniques of molecular biology, this book covers all aspects of plant cell biology without emphasizing any one plant, organelle, molecule, or technique. Although most examples are biased towards plants, basic similarities between all living eukaryotic cells (animal and plant) are recognized and used to best illustrate for students cell processes.
