Transporters and Plant Osmotic Stress: Sensing, Signaling and Trafficking

Transporters and Plant Osmotic Stress: Sensing, Signaling and Trafficking focuses on the potential negative impact of abiotic stresses on plant health and crop yield. The book focuses on 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. The comprehensive discussion presented in this book highlights steps appropriate for mitigating multiple forms of stresses utilizing transporter proteins. Edited by leading experts and authored by top researchers from around the world, Transporters and Plant Osmotic Stress: Sensing, Signaling and Trafficking will be valuable to researchers, academicians, and scientists to enhance and boost their knowledge for further research in the field of transporters with respect to abiotic stress responses. Focuses exclusively on transporter proteins involved in multiple environmental stresses in plantsExplains exploiting transporters in crop improvement programs through transgenic technology against different stresses like salt, dehydration, and temperature impactsServes as an important source of information in the field of abiotic stress INDICE: 1.
