Polyamine-Phytohormo... Network: Nexus in Plant Responses to Abiotic Stresses presents the latest global research on the these important tools for improving physiological / biochemical molecular mechanisms for improved plant health and production. Exposure of plants (crop and non-crop) to abiotic stresses is inevitable; hence, impairments in plant growth, metabolism and productivity due to abiotic stresses seem obvious. Naturally, plants are endowed with endogenous chemicals including intracellular messengers and signalling molecules to counteract the potential stress-impacts, protect cellular functions, and grow and produce well. Polyamines (PAs) are low molecular weight nitrogen- containing compounds with aliphatic polycationic properties. In addition to their roles in diverse growth and development processes, Pas(such as putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) have been implicated in improving plant tolerance to abiotic stresses. On the other hand, PAs have their close relation with both phytohormones (such as cytokinins, abscisic acid, auxins, gibberellins and gaseous hormone ethylene), and most mineral nutrients (such as N and S). Interestingly, the interactive response and outcomes of PAs with either phytohormones or mineral nutrients could exhibit synergistic or antagonistic effects. Thus, either the functions of PAs can be modulated by phytohormones and mineral nutrients; or the cellular/organ or whole plant level PAs may potentially affect the role of both phytohormones and mineral nutrients. With a globally diverse team of expert contributors, this book focuses on the PA-phytohormone-mine... nutrient interactions that is significant for establishing connections between nutrient assimilation, C-fixation, and secondary metabolic pathways.

Nanomaterials in the Plant-Soil Continuum explores the various nanomaterials that are impacting agriculture whether through intentional or unintentional pathways. Providing a concise outlook of NMs in soil chemistry, physics, and biology, it highlights nanomaterial transformation in soil and subsequent plant uptake. Plants may be exposed to naturally generated or artificially produced nanomaterials (ENMs). They can absorb NMs from the soil through roots or leaves but return them to the soil through litter, creating an intricate network of NMs cycling in a soil-plant continuum. Understanding this NM transformation in soil and subsequent plant uptake is integral to understanding, and protecting, an ecosystem. Nanomaterials in the Plant-Soil Continuum also discusses the translocation and biotransformation of NMs in plants and their effects on plant metabolism. Considering NMs as new and emerging agrochemicals, a detailed understanding of their role in the soil-plant continuum, ecosystem functioning, and services will also be discussed. This volume in the "Nanomaterial Plant Interactions" series highlights the recent insights into the impact, fate, and transport of NMs in the soil-plant continuum and their potential impacts on soil and plant health.

Plant Pangenomes and Pangenomics summarizes the current state of plant pangenomes and pangenomics as applied in a wide range of plant biology involving the subtopics of genome evolution, phenotypic evolution, population genetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. Explaining the resources and technologies of pangenomics with plant functional genomics, the book also presents precision molecular breeding of crops to produce improved stress-tolerance and climate-smart capacities in an attempt to improve growth, development, enhanced production, and quality. It covers key critical stressors, including temperature, salt, drought, pollutants, pests, fungi, bacteria, and viruses.This book is an complete guide for students, researchers, experts, and professors with its discussions on all aspects of pangenomes and pangenomics, from fundamental and advanced tools and current applications in the plant sciences to plant functional genomics, plant stress physiology, plant biotechnology, plant pathology, and plant breeding.

Amino Acids in Plant Protection: Mechanisms, Metabolism and Coordination highlights the increasingly evident importance of amino acids in plant development and stress defense, addressing the needs of basic and applied plant scientists around the world. It provides the only comprehensive overview of the general direction of amino acid metabolism and genetic regulation under abiotic stress conditions, presenting a complete map of all currently known enzymatic steps involved in amino acid synthesis and degradation, including the initial steps leading to the synthesis of secondary metabolites.Higher plants are sessile and therefore cannot escape hostile environmental conditions that are a constant threat throughout their lifecycle. Unfavorable growth conditions such as extreme temperatures, drought, flood, and contamination of soils with high salt concentrations are considered the major abiotic environmental stressors that can not only limit plant growth and development, but also determine the geographic distribution of plant species and directly affect agronomical yield.

Role of Antioxidants in Abiotic Stress Management covers the antioxidant defense system in plants, providing key insights on how to generate tolerant varieties that can adapt to harsh environmental conditions without adverse impacts on crop productivity. The book covers a broad range of antioxidant responses, describing how global climate changes and the overexploitation of natural or anthropogenic resources creates abiotic stressors. The potential impacts of factors such as heavy metals/metalloids, drought/water deficit, salinity, extreme temperatures, anoxia, and high light intensity are covered, along with discussions on how to improve crop growth and development at different stages.Written by a team of international experts, this book provides an important reference on morphological, physiological, biochemical, metabolic, anatomical and molecular responses of plants under stress factors.

Environmentally Safe Strategies for Plant Protection Against Biotic and Abiotic Stresses presents environmentally friendly and safe methods for plant protection against not only biotic stresses caused by various pathogens and pests, but also against abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought, UV radiations, flood, unfavorable temperature, and pH, etc. The book aims to present approaches for both abiotic and biotic stresses, providing a valuable, integrated view to inspire new research as well as to implement and develop new practices.As global demand for organic food and feed products increases, it is necessary to focus on research areas related to discovery, application and demonstrating the modes of action of natural compounds obtained from various plants or mushrooms, as well as beneficial microbes and their metabolites involved in plant protection against biotic and abiotic stresses. These natural compounds, biocontrol agents and their volatile or non-volatile metabolites, which might have direct antagonism against phytopathogens and pests or indirect effect via induction of plant defense, could be formulated and used with high durability to control various environmental stresses in an eco-friendly manner.
