Full Description
Melatonin in Horticultural Plants: A Multifunctional Molecule for Abiotic Stress Tolerance gathers insights from leading experts on the role of melatonin in increasing crop tolerance to various abiotic stresses. This book explores the morphological, physiological, and biochemical processes induced by melatonin application, enhancing crop resilience. It delves into the effects of stressors such as salinity, drought, temperature extremes, and heavy metal exposure on different plant growth stages, providing a comprehensive overview of how melatonin can improve plant health and productivity in challenging environments.
The book emphasizes melatonin's multifunctional phytoprotective properties, its role in coordinating signal transduction pathways, and its involvement in physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms. Practical strategies for applying melatonin in real-world agricultural settings are discussed, including the use of bio-stimulants, hormones, novel chemicals, and microorganisms. Readers will gain actionable insights for enhancing crop resistance and productivity amidst changing climates and human activities.
