Plant–pathogen interactions induce a signal transmission series that stimulates the plant's
host defense system against pathogens and this, in turn, leads to disease resistance …

Plants are subjected to a plethora of environmental cues that cause extreme losses to crop
productivity. Due to fluctuating environmental conditions, plants encounter difficulties in …

In plants, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed during normal conditions are essential
in regulating several processes, like stomatal physiology, pathogen immunity and …

Plants perceive volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by mechanically-or herbivore-
damaged neighboring plants and induce various defense responses. Such interplant …

Microplastics pollution in farmlands has become a major concern. However, few studies
have assessed the effects of microplastics on higher plants. In this study, we investigated the …

Plant requires seventeen essential mineral elements for proper growth and functioning
classified as macro and micro-nutrients. Apart from these, cerium (Ce), cobalt (Co), iodine (I) …

Plants have various self-defense mechanisms against biotic attacks, involving both physical
and chemical barriers. Physical barriers include spines, trichomes, and cuticle layers …

In plants dehydration imposed by salinity can invoke physical changes at the interface of the
plasma membrane and cell wall. Changes in hydrostatic pressure activate ion channels and …

An understanding of the mineral nutrition of plants is of fundamental importance in both
basic and applied plant sciences. The fourth edition of this book retains the aim of the first in …

Low temperatures have adverse impacts on plant growth, developmental processes, crop
productivity and food quality. It is becoming clear that Ca2+ signaling plays a crucial role in …
