Plant Hormones in Crop Improvement

Plant Hormones in Crop Improvement examines the signaling pathways and mechanisms associated with phytohormones, with a particular focus on stress resilience. The book highlights genomic and proteomic approaches to manipulating phytohormone responses. The world's growing population and unpredictable climate puts pressure on the agriculture industry, so understanding strategies for crop improvement is essential. Beginning with the chemistry, structure and biosynthesis pathways of phytohormones, subsequent chapters review the various roles of phytohormones including Plant and growth development, Plant response to drought, salinity and hypoxia, and Plant pathogen interaction and immunity. This book is an essential read for students, researchers and agriculturalists interested in plant physiology, plant genetics and crop yield improvement. Provides a comprehensive review of phytohormone pathways and mechanisms in relation to stress tolerance Highlights the regulatory roles of phytohormones Reviews genome editing and metabolomics approaches INDICE: 1.
