Book Synopsis Advancement of Melatonin Research in Plants by : Aryadeep Roychoudhury
Download or read book Advancement of Melatonin Research in Plants written by Aryadeep Roychoudhury and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a widely studied biomolecule, and its function has been investigated in bacteria, mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish and plants. Melatonin research in plants the last five years has attained an exponential growth phase and the number of publications related to phytomelatonin has significantly increased in present times. All this research is directed towards establishing multifarious roles of melatonin in plants, including the promotion of seed germination and seedling growth, influencing plant development and senescence, alteration of flowering and fruiting time and grain yield, modulating circadian rhythms, improving resistance against biotic stress as well as tolerance to abiotic stress, reducing oxidative stress, and stimulating plant immune response. However, to date, an exhaustive book, solely and exclusively dedicated to melatonin research on various aspects of plant biology, has not been published by any renowned publisher or is available in the market. Keeping all these facts in mind, this book aims to compile the most recent developments in the arena of melatonin-mediated regulation of plant physiology under optimal and sub-optimal conditions. This book will initiate and introduce the readers to the state-of-the-art developments and trends in this field of study and will largely cater to the scientific need of scientists engaged in melatonin research across the globe. The book will be unique of its kind and will draw the attention of scientific and research communities engaged in the field of melatonin research. The key features of this book: Authors will address the topics which would provide advances in the understanding of diverse functions of melatonin in plants, encompassing almost all the aspects that have been investigated so far Integrate the overall mechanistic function of melatonin, genomics and proteomics tools, and genetic engineering to manipulate endogenous melatonin levels, thus giving a holistic view of plant-level studies under normal or challenging situations Largely help the readers to design future research programs in exploiting melatonin as a protective agent to develop climate-resilient and pathogen-resistant plants Benefit the crop protection program and ensure food security Chapters will be supplemented with ample illustrations and figures This book will be beneficial to research scholars and Ph.D. students involved in melatonin research and working on stress physiology, stress proteins, genomics, proteomics and genetic engineering in different universities and research institutes all over the world. The book can also be used as an advanced reference book for the coursework of research and master’s level students. It will be of use to people involved in improving plant growth and yield, as well as the performance of plant species in the face of climate change and pathogen infection, using melatonin as the prime protective agent and signaling molecule. Although the book will directly benefit the academic and scientific community, it will also indirectly draw the attention of industries or companies that manufacture or sell chemical products, since the book will highlight in detail the antioxidative potential of melatonin. This will create impetus at the industrial level for the isolation and synthesis of melatonin as a beneficial chemical agent. Applying melatonin as an ameliorating agent against different stresses at the field level will also increase the demand for this chemical among the farmers and will promote large-scale sales and utilization of melatonin for ensuring crop protection and increasing yield.

Book Synopsis Omics in Plant-Insect Interactions by : Shengli Jing
Download or read book Omics in Plant-Insect Interactions written by Shengli Jing and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-10-07 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbivorous insects, such as piercing-sucking hemipteran insects and chewing Lepidopteran insects, must establish close associations with their host plants in order to modulate plant cellular processes to promote feeding and reproduction. In response to herbivore attacks, plants have developed a complex immune system such as plant signalings, plant resistant genes, and plant secondary metabolite. A sophisticated molecular arms race between plants and insects involves the interaction between different molecules from plants and insects. The secondary metabolite and resistant genes of plants can be used as defense tools against the infestation of insects. In contrast, the various types of detoxification enzymes and effectors from insects can interfere with plant defense at multiple levels for better adaptation. These metabolite substances and resistant genes of plants and detoxification enzymes and effectors of insects are involved in complex networks of genetic, physical, metabolic and molecular interactions between plants and insects. And these molecules and genes can be identified by the new omics technologies, including genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolomics, and so on. Omics analyses have provided new insights and understanding into the relationships between plants and insects as well as the underlying molecular mechanisms of their interactions. Understanding the molecular interaction between plants and insects can help develop new and improved plant-resistant varieties and novel green control strategies.
Book Synopsis Plant Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis by : Xiang Pu
Download or read book Plant Secondary Metabolite Biosynthesis written by Xiang Pu and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-02 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant secondary metabolites are a diverse group of compounds that contribute to many important biological and ecological functions. They are synthesized by plants to interact with the biotic and abiotic environments, playing roles in plant defense, growth, and development. Additionally, plant secondary metabolites have widespread applications in human industries, including food additives, cosmetics, dyes, insecticides, and drugs. The biosynthesis of these compounds is complex and dynamic, with more than one million secondary metabolites identified from terrestrial and aquatic plants. Despite their diversity, plants produce limited quantities of secondary metabolites in a metabolic cost-saving way. This has greatly limited their commercial production, and the overexploitation of source plants has raised concerns about their sustainability and highlighted the need for advanced research. Recent advances in genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and other omics technologies have revolutionized our understanding of plant biology, enabling the discovery of new plant secondary metabolites and their biosynthetic pathways. Functional genomics approaches, such as genome-wide association studies, transcriptome analysis, and gene editing, have facilitated the identification and characterization of genes and enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of specific secondary metabolites. Metabolic engineering and synthetic biology approaches have enabled the manipulation of plant secondary metabolism to improve the yield and quality of specific metabolites of interest or to produce them in heterologous cultures. These advances have created new opportunities for the sustainable production and utilization of plant secondary metabolites.
Book Synopsis Photosynthesis Under Fluctuating Light by : Michele Grieco
Download or read book Photosynthesis Under Fluctuating Light written by Michele Grieco and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-06-27 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photosynthesis is a fundamental process that drives almost all life on Earth, and is the motor of agriculture and food production. For several decades, its basic functioning has been investigated mainly at steady-state, under constant illumination. This approach was necessary to understand the basic mechanisms underlying the light reactions and carbon assimilation. However, this condition does not reflect the natural environment, where plants experience changes in both the intensity and spectrum of irradiance in a wide range of time scales, spanning from seconds to several hours. In recent years, it has become clear that the processes allowing the photosynthetic apparatus to adapt to changes in irradiance are of paramount importance to plant fitness and productivity. Therefore, increased research effort has been directed towards studying the regulation of photosynthetic activity under fluctuating light, i.e. upon the variation of light intensity or light spectrum. This is important for understanding how photosynthetic organisms cope with natural environmental conditions. Fluctuating light itself constitutes a potentially stressful condition, because, depending on the scale of the fluctuation, it can transiently generate extreme redox and transthylakoid potentials, and forces the photosynthetic machinery to be re-adjusted. Not surprisingly, plants have evolved several mechanisms allowing a prompt response to these normal environmental events. In natural environments, photosynthetic organisms often have to cope with fluctuating light while experiencing other kinds of stress, such as heat, nutrient deficiency, drought, and pathogen attacks. Therefore, the study of combined stresses is essential for understanding the acclimation to realistic environmental conditions.

Book excerpt: Model organisms represent an invaluable resource for fundamental and applied research, allowing the identification of the mechanistic basis of evolutionary innovations. This article collection will showcase studies of established as well as emerging Model Organisms in Plant Developmental Biology - their effectiveness and limitations, that have significance to the field broadly, including EvoDevo. Classically used for genetic and molecular studies in Plant Biology, model organisms are progressively entering many subdisciplines within Plant Development and EvoDevo. Recent advancements in the fast-growing field of plant model organisms, and their hugely increased phylogenetic breadth and availability of genomes and transgenic techniques, have led to a burst of innovative ideas and synthesis in recent publications spanning the range from an analysis of fossils to single-cell sequencing. However, it also raises the question of how broad is the application of knowledge gained from these studies, and its relevance to the field of Plant Development and EvoDevo. To address those questions, this research topic focuses on new insights, latest discoveries, current challenges, and future perspectives in the study of model organisms and how much knowledge gained from them can be extrapolated broadly. Authors are encouraged to identify the greatest unifying concepts in their sub-disciplines, and the challenges, emerging from the use of model plants, as well as to put forward potential solutions to address those challenges.

Book Synopsis Oxidative Stress Responses in Plants by :
Download or read book Oxidative Stress Responses in Plants written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2023-02-16 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxidative Stress Response in Plants, Volume 105 covers environmental stress conditions and the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). During many stress conditions such as salt, drought, heat, and pathogen infection, changes in metabolic fluxes and alterations in enzymatic activities result in the accumulation of ROS, a major contributor to loss of growth and productivity. High levels of ROS can lead to oxidative stress which damages proteins and DNA, ultimately resulting in plant cell death. This volume provides comprehensive insights into ROS biology in plants, with a focus on plant growth and development, plant defense responses, and plant acclimation to challenging environments. On the other hand, ROS evolves into potent signaling molecules that play crucial roles in abiotic and biotic stress sensing, integration of different environmental signals, and activation of stress-response networks, thereby contributing to the establishment of improved stress resilience. - Provides a comprehensive overview of ROS biology in plants - Focuses on the production, processing and signaling roles of ROS in plants - Written by world-leading experts
