Full Description
Climate change poses unprecedented challenges to plant growth, biodiversity, and productivity, necessitating innovative strategies for sustainability. MicroRNAs in Plants: Climate Change, Stress, and Resilience delves into the intricate relationship between climate-induced stress and the molecular mechanisms underpinning plant adaptation, with a special focus on microRNAs (miRNAs). This book provides an in-depth exploration of miRNAs as pivotal regulators in plant biology, offering insights into their biogenesis, functional roles, and applications in stress management and crop improvement.
Highlighting the interdisciplinary approach to understanding plant resilience, this book examines critical topics, including the impact of abiotic stressors like heavy metals and elevated CO₂ levels, regulatory roles of miRNAs in photosynthesis and productivity, and the integration of bioinformatics and epigenetics in miRNA research. Through comprehensive chapters, readers gain knowledge about miRNA-mediated bioengineering, genome stability, and the emerging potential of omics technologies to combat the effects of climate change on agriculture.
Key Features:
A thorough analysis of miRNA biogenesis, regulation, and degradation, along with their myriad functional roles in plant biology.
Exploration of abiotic stress tolerance mechanisms in medicinal, cereal, legume, tuber, fruit, biofuel, and beverage crops.
Insights into bioinformatics tools and databases for miRNA analysis and their implications for stress tolerance studies.
Discussions on miRNA-mediated bioengineering for climate-resilient crops and recent advances in omics approaches.
Designed for researchers, students, and professionals in plant sciences, bioinformatics, and climate studies, this book bridges fundamental and applied research, making it an essential resource for addressing climate variability through molecular innovations.
