Plant Signaling Molecule: Role and Regulation under Stressful Environments explores
tolerance mechanisms mediated by signaling molecules in plants for achieving …

Drought, cold, high-salinity and heat are major abiotic stresses that severely reduce the yield
of food crops worldwide. Traditional plant breeding approaches to improve abiotic stress …

Secondary metabolites are gaining an increasing importance in various industries, such as
pharmaceuticals, dyes, and food, as is the need for reliable and efficient methods of …

Maize crops are exposed to a wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses, which induce the
disruption of plant metabolism and affect crop yield and quality. An increase in drought or …

Under natural conditions, the plants are, usually, surrounded by a series of potential
enemies. They had created strategies of defense against pathogens and herbivores' attacks …

Metabolites reflect the integration of gene expression, protein interaction and other different
regulatory processes and are therefore closer to the phenotype than mRNA transcripts or …

Plants produce thousands of secondary metabolites (aka specialized metabolites) of diverse
chemical nature. These compounds play important roles in protecting plants under adverse …

Adverse environmental conditions due to climate change, combined with declining soil
fertility, threaten food security. Modern agriculture is facing a pressing situation where novel …

Several environmental stresses, including biotic and abiotic factors, adversely affect the
growth and development of crops, thereby lowering their yield. However, abiotic factors, eg …

Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and intensity of abiotic stress
combinations that negatively impact plants and pose a serious threat to crop yield and food …
