Metal and Nutrient Transporters in Abiotic Stress: Sensing, Signaling and Trafficking

Metal and Nutrient Transporters in Abiotic Stress: Sensing, Signaling and Trafficking focuses on the different forms of environmental stress related to heavy metal, metalloid, and nutrient deficiency that have the potential to inflict major damages to crop plants, leading to a massive decrease in crop yield and productivity. The book presents the current state of knowledge of the biochemical and molecular regulation of several classes of membrane transporters during different stresses and their probable mechanisms of operation in plant stress tolerance. Metal and Nutrient Transporters in Abiotic Stress: Sensing, Signaling and Trafficking provides a comprehensive discussion that will help in mitigating multiple forms of stresses utilizing transporter proteins. Edited by leading experts and with a global team of knowledgeable contributors, this book will further stimulate research in the field of transporter proteins and will foster further interests for researchers, academicians and scientists worldwide. Focuses exclusively on transporter proteins involved in multiple environmental stresses in plants Explains exploiting transporters in crop improvement programs through transgenic technology against different stresses like salt, dehydration, and temperature impacts Serves as an important source of information in the field of abiotic stress INDICE: 1.
