Description

Comprehensive reference highlighting the potential of treating plants with Brassinosteroids prior to or during stress

Brassinosteroids and Abiotic Stress: Recent Developments on Physiological and Molecular Aspects offers insights on the potential of treating plants with Brassinosteroids (BRs) either prior to or during stress to lower oxidative damages and create enhanced tolerance during stress conditions. Emphasis is placed on the latest research in different crop species together with their mechanisms of action at the biochemical and molecular level. The book focuses on specific challenges and opportunities related to the exogenous application or priming technology, such as the mode of application, new methodologies, and the potential impacts of brassinosteroids on the environment.

Brassinosteroids and Abiotic Stress includes information on:

• Brassinosteroid-mediated regulation of growth and development of plants under stressful conditions, covering physiological and molecular aspects
• Role of brassinosteroids on post-harvest physiology of plants, covering the impact of chilling stress and regulation of secondary metabolites in cold storage
• Regulation of photosynthesis, reactive oxygen species accumulation, antioxidative defense systems, and heat shock proteins by brassinosteroids in plants growing under temperature stress
• Crosstalk between brassinosteroids and auxins, salicylic acid, ethylene, cytokinins, jasmonates, melatonin, and other plant hormones

Brassinosteroids and Abiotic Stress: Recent Developments on Physiological and Molecular Aspects is an essential resource to foster further interests for researchers, academics, and scientists worldwide working in the field of plant responses in plants under challenging environments.
