Stress Signaling in Plants: Genomics and Proteomics Perspective, Volume 1

This two volume set takes an in-depth look at the Stress Signaling in Plants from a uniquely genomic and proteomics perspective. Stress Signaling in Plants offers a comprehensive treatise on the Chapter, covering all of the signaling pathways and mechanisms that have been researched so far. The most important prerequisites imperative for survival of human kind food, fodder and fuel depends upon the performance of plants. Due to worldwide temperature inversions, the weather conditions have become completely unpredictable and hostile. Thus, there is a growing need of such plants which are better adapted to these adverse climatic conditions. A good understanding of the signaling mechanism within the plant system during these climatic conditions will certainly going to help in raising plants which are better suited for these adverse conditions. Stress Signaling in Plants: Genomics and Proteomics Perspective Volume 1 brings together both a Genomics and Proteomics approach to further our understanding in this direction. The volume expands on the current understanding from Bioinformatical approaches to develop the models, as well as proving the ideas up to field conditions. Further, the volume contains comprehensive knowledge of stress signalling useful for graduate students, researchers as well as scientists working in the area. The ten chapters written by international dignitaries give much weightage to this book. Plant diseases, extreme weather caused by climate change, drought and an increase in metals in soil are amongst the major limiting factors of crop production worldwide. They devastate not only food supply but also the economy of a nation. Keeping in view of the global food scarcity, there is, an urgent need to develop crop plants with increased stress tolerance…
