Plant Tolerance to Environmental Stress

This book intends to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of both biotic and abiotic stresses through chapters that include case studies and literature reviews about these topics. There will be a particular focus on understanding the physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes observed in stressed plants as well as the mechanisms underlying stress tolerance in plants.

This edited book presents the latest research on the role of plant phenolics in stress management in plants. It sheds light on addressing the biotic stress management in plants by plant phenolics under changed environmental conditions. In natural systems, plants face a plethora of antagonists and thus possess a myriad of defenses and have evolved multiple defense mechanisms by which they can manage the various kinds of stresses for adaptation. Plant phenolics being ubiquitous and thus plays important role in adapting the plants to the varied environment. This book is of interest and helpful to cover a different topic of regulation of biotic stress in plants. Further, the book will provide users with a cutting-edge review of this field and set the direction for future exploration. Bringing together work from leading international researchers, it will be also a valuable reading material for plant and agricultural scientists, academics, researchers, students, and teachers wanting to gain insights into the role of plant phenolics in biotic stress management in plants for sustainability. It’s a comprehensive, practical reference that aids researchers in their understanding of the role of plant phenolics in biotic stress tolerance.

This edited book compiles multifaceted functions of melatonin in plant growth, development, and stress response. The main focus of the book is to address the recent most developments in the arena of melatonin-mediated regulation of stress tolerance.

This book presents synthesis of information for developing strategies to combat plant stress. The book presents a judicious mixture of basic as well as applied research outlooks so as to interest workers in all areas of plant science.
