Produktbeschreibung
The new edited volume on phytomelatonin and its diverse roles in plants under a challenging environment shall be an important reference book with updated information and future perspectives on the involvement of this biomolecule in stress resilience in plants. Investigations on different aspects of melatonin in plants have undergone a prolific surge in the last decade. In view of such a considerable volume of investigations in melatonin, the proposed new volume will collate its role in different aspects of plants signaling, growth and metabolism. In this context, it has been important to understand its function as a stress priming molecule that executes associative synergistic relation with various other plant growth regulators (viz. nitric oxide, hydrogen sulfide, inorganic ions, and enzymes). Thus, crop management under diverse stressful environments can be better achieved by elucidating our current understanding of the role of melatonin and its interplay with various plantmetabolites. The book shall provide a collation of recent advancements in genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic approaches to decipher the molecular mechanisms of melatonin signaling and its agronomic importance in plants.

Autorenporträt
Assistant Professor Dr. Soumya Mukherjee is a faculty member in the Department of Botany, Jangipur College, University of Kalyani, India.  His research interest lies in deciphering the role of melatonin and associated signaling molecules in regulating the salt-stress physiology of plants.  He has worked as a CSIR- research fellow in the area of abiotic stress physiology of plants. He has published both research and review articles in various peer-reviewed journals (according to Scopus database with H-index 17).  He has also published four edited volumes in Plant signaling, and communication (springer), Rhizobiology (springer), Crop sustainability and IPR, (Apple academic press-CRC) and Strigolactone, Alkamide and Karrikins (CRC press).  He is serving as an associate editor in the editorial board of Plant Signaling and Behaviour, Taylor and Francis. He has also authored an e-learning module in Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishedas an effort of National Mission on Education through ICT, MHRD Project undertaken by University of Delhi, India.     Prof. Francisco J. Corpas is a Research Professor of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) who has more than 30 years of research experience in the metabolism of Reactive Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Sulfur Species (ROS, RNS, and RSS, respectively) in higher plants under physiology and environmental stress conditions using either the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana as well as plants of agricultural interest. Special interests are the implications of these reactive species in fruit ripening and the nitro-oxidative metabolism of plant peroxisome. He was the Head of the Department of Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology of Plants (2014-2018) at the Research Institute named "Estación Experimental del Zaidín"-CSIC, Granada Spain. He already published more than 285 refereed research papers/review articles in peer-reviewed journals (according to the Scopus database with h-index: 78) and edited twelve books
