Plant Responses to Environmental Stresses (eBook, ePUB)

From Phytohormones to Genome Reorganization: From Phytohormones to Genome Reorganization

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Emphasizing the unpredictable nature of plant behaviour under stress and in relation to complex interactions of biological pathways, this work covers the versatility of plants in adapting to environmental change. It analyzes environmentally triggered adaptions in developmental programmes of plants that lead to permanent, heritable DNA modifications.

Inhaltsangabe

General concepts: introduction to the response of plants to environmental
stresses; the importance of individuality; plant cell wall modifications
induced by adaptation to growth on the herbicide 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile;
gene switches and stress management -modulation of gene expression by
transcription factors; stressful lifestyle-associated mutation in
microorganisms; differentiation of vegetative anabaena cells into
nitrogen-fixing heterocysts; genetic and epigenetic instability in tissue
culture and regenerated progenies; the environment as an active generator
of adaptive genomic variation; the effects of environmental stress on
repetitive DNA behaviour in plants; plant evolution - towards an adaptive
theory; oxidative stress as a regulator of environmental responses in
plants; the alternative oxidase - is it a respiratory pathway allowing a
plant to cope with stress? role of phytohormones in plant responses to
stresses; regulation of gene expression by abscisic acid during
environmental stress; abscisic acid - a long distance stress signal in
salt-stressed plants. Plant responses to particular stresses or
interactions with other organisms or viruses: metabolic aspects of
phosphate starvation response in plants; the response of plants to oxygen
deprivation - role of enzyme induction in the improvement of tolerance to
anoxia; some effects of environmental factors on the acquisition of
inorganic ions by higher plants; involvement of the cell wall in response
to water deficit and flooding; stimulated shoot elongation - a mechanism of
semiaquatic plants to avoid submergence stress; adaptation of the
photosynthetic apparatus to stress conditions; root impedance - sensing,
signalling, and physiological effects; the influence of temperature
extremes on gene expression, genomic structure, and the evolution of
induced tolerance in plants; regulation of g-aminobutyrate-synthesizing
enzyme, glutamate decarboxylase, by calcium/calmodulin - a mechanism for
rapid activation in response to stress; plant desiccation; evolutionary
consequences of transition to a lichen symbolic state and physiological
adaptation of oxidative damage associated with poikilohydry; the
involvement of flavonoids, nod factors, and phytohormones in nodulation;
conifer chemical defenses against bark beetles - the modulation of
monoterpene biosynthesis by wounding, environmental stress and ethylene;
plant responses to pathogens; viral pathogens and host plants interactions
- mutual survival.
