These proceedings cover recent advances in plant developmental biology, focusing on photomorphogenesis, flowering time control, and the circadian clock. Explore the role of light in controlling flowering, hormonal regulations, and other key molecular events.
Abiotic stressors like temperature, drought, and pollutants limit crop growth and agricultural productivity. Microorganisms are natural partners that help plants adapt. This book covers beneficial plant-microbe interactions that mitigate stress and enhance crop performance.
This book explains why some alien species shift from being minor components in their native ecosystems to devastating invaders. It assesses the genetic factors of invasion success and highlights molecular tools that help managers identify future threats.
The Himalaya, a global biodiversity hotspot, faces profound threats from climate change. This volume explores the impacts on plants, microbes, and ecosystems, offering expert strategies and policy recommendations to safeguard this fragile mountain arc.
This captivating exploration illuminates the pivotal roles of salicylic acid (SA) and nitric oxide (NO) as master regulators in plant adaptation. The book highlights their covert alliance and collaboration in alleviating high temperature-induced oxidative stress.
This book explains how plants perceive their environment, communicate, and modify their behavior. It explores intriguing aspects of plant memory and intelligence, from their perception of sound and touch to communication with other plants, animals, and microorganisms.
