The Role of Gasotransmitters In the Amelioration of Arsenic Toxicity in Plants
The Role of Gasotransmitters In the Amelioration of Arsenic Toxicity in Plants: Biology and Biotechnology, in the Plant Gasotransmitter series, provides research on how gasotransmitters can reduce the stress faced by plants through arsenic contamination. With a strong focus on metabolic processes, the book presents the various pathways and mechanisms associated with gasotransmitters as part of arsenic amelioration. Initial chapters discuss the effects of arsenic on the plant genome and metabolome, as well as the mechanisms behind the uptake and translocation of arsenic in plants. The book then takes a deep dive into the role of gasotransmitters, highlighting plant physiological responses. This is an essential resource for students, researchers and agronomists interested in plant physiology, biochemistry and plant hormones. - Explains the physiological, biochemical and molecular aspects of how gasotransmitters can mitigate stress by arsenic in plants - Presents how arsenic is found in the environment, along with associated problems with arsenic contamination - Highlights the impact of food processing on minimizing arsenic and other potentially toxic elements in edible plants
Molecular Stress Physiology of Plants
Crop growth and production is dependent on various climatic factors. Both abiotic and biotic stresses have become an integral part of plant growth and development. There are several factors involved in plant stress mechanism. The information in the area of plant growth and molecular mechanism against abiotic and biotic stresses is scattered. The up-to-date information with cited references is provided in this book in an organized way. More emphasis has been given to elaborate the injury and tolerance mechanisms and growth behavior in plants against abiotic and biotic stresses. This book also deals with abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in plants, molecular mechanism of stress resistance of...
Abiotic Stress and Legumes
Abiotic Stress and Legumes: Tolerance and Management is the first book to focus on these important factors in legume productivity. As a primary and increasingly important food source, efficient legume productivity relies on the plant's ability to effectively adapt to environmental challenges. The book takes a targeted approach to understanding the methods and means of ensuring survival and productivity of the legume plant. It illustrates the progress that has been made in managing abiotic stress effects in legumes, including the development of several varieties that show tolerance against abiotic stress with high yield using transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic and ionomic approaches. Furt...

This volume builds on the previous volume to provide additional knowledge in studies on the subject. Key Features - Explains aspects of plant genetics central to research such as the role of cytosine methylation and demethylation in plant stress responses, and the importance of epigenetic genetics in regulating plant stress responses. - Explores how Late Embryogenesis Abundant proteins affect plant cellular stress tolerance with an emphasis on their molecular mechanisms and pote...
Agrochemicals in Soil and Environment
This volume ‘Agrochemicals in Soil and Environment: Impacts and Remediation’ is a comprehensive collection of important literature on agrochemical contamination. The main focus of this book is to point out undesirable changes in biological, physical and chemical characteristics of agricultural soils and its impacts on global agricultural crop productivity. Soil is one of the important resources of basic needs for our sustenance but due to various anthropogenic activities like urbanization and industrialization, the soil is losing its basic quality characteristics. Soil microorganisms, water holding capacity, minerals, salts and nutrients are under the direct threat due to agrochemicals t...
The Role of Growth Regulators and Phytohormones in Overcoming Environmental Stress
The Role of Growth Regulators and Phytohormones in Overcoming Environmental Stress is a comprehensive resource on all major PGRs. These include auxins, cytokinins, jasmonates, polyammines, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), and more.
