Beskrivning

The Plant Hormone Ethylene: Stress Acclimation and Agricultural Applications presents current knowledge on our understanding of ethylene perception and signaling, its role in the regulation of plant physiological processes, and its contribution to acclimation in stressful environments.

Plants regularly face environmental constraints due to their immobile nature. In persistently changing environmental conditions, several stress factors influence cellular metabolism, ultimately causing reduced plant growth and development with a significant loss in agricultural productivity. Sustainable agriculture depends on the acclimation of plant processes to the changing environment through altered physiological and molecular responses, which are controlled by plant hormones, including ethylene. Ethylene interacts with other plant hormones and signaling molecules to regulate several cellular processes, plant growth and development, and, ultimately, crop productivity.

This book begins with an introduction to ethylene before providing a detailed study of the latest findings on the role of ethylene in plants, including its role in photosynthetic processes, flower development, leaf senescence, nutrients acquisition, and regulation of abiotic stress responses as well as its application in agriculture. The book is an ideal guide for researchers exploring plant physiology and biochemistry as well as for those investigating the use of ethylene knowledge in agriculture in persistently changing environmental conditions.

Provides state-of-the art insights into ethylene-regulated photosynthesis, growth, and productivity in crop plants
Presents regulatory mechanisms of ethylene action
Assists in developing physiomolecular strategies for augmenting crop performance in persistently changing environmental conditions

Mer information

Antonio Ferrante holds a PhD in advanced technologies in horticultural science from the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Pisa Italy. He was a visiting researcher at the University California, Davis, and a visiting teaching professor with ERASMUS program in Cardiff University (2015) and Almeria University (2017) and has been a member of the scientific committee of several international conferences. He has authored more than 200 international publications in peer-reviewed journals. Sergi Munné-Bosch has been a full professor at the University of Barcelona, Spain since 2017 and holds a PhD in plant physiology from the same institution. He has previously served as a research scientist abroad, including the University of Hannover (Germany), University of Fukuyama (Japan), and University of Virginia (USA), among others. The Catalan Government awarded him the ICREA Academia Award in 2008, 2014 and 2020. He is currently an Editor-in-Chief of the Elsevier journal titled Environmental and Experimental Botany. Prof. Nafees A. Khan is a distinguished Professor of Plant Physiology in the Department of Botany at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). Holding both a PhD and a DSc from AMU, he is internationally renowned for his pioneering research on abiotic stress tolerance in plants, phytohormone signaling, and sustainable agricultural practices. A Highly Cited Researcher (Clarivate Analytics, 2019–23), he has received prestigious awards, including the UGC-Research and Mid-Career Awards, the Teaching Excellence Award, and the Research Excellence Citation Award 2023 (Clarivate Analytics). He is also a fellow of several esteemed academies, including the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the Linnean Society of London, the Indian Botanical Society, and the Indian Society for Plant Physiology. His groundbreaking research integrates nutrient-use efficiency with stress resistance mechanisms, making substantial contributions to the advancement of global agricultural sustainability.
