Plant Ionomics: Sensing, Signaling and Regulation
About this ebook
A thoroughly up-to-date exploration of nutrient uptake in plants
In Plant Ionomics: Sensing, Signaling and Regulation, accomplished botanists and researchers Dr. Vijay Singh and Dr. Manzer Siddiqui deliver an up-to-date discussion on the sensing, signaling, and regulation of nutrient uptake in plants under a variety of conditions. The book offers an accessible and easy-to-use reference for researchers with an interest in plant ionomics, combining the latest research from leading laboratories around the globe.
The authors provide coverage of a variety of critical topics, including plant and soil nutrient stoichiometry, nutrient management and stress tolerance in crops, and the relationship between agricultural production and nutrient applications. Readers will also find:
- A thorough introduction to nutrient regulation and abiotic stress tolerance in plants
- In-depth discussions of nutrient uptake and transport in plants and the role of nutrients in ROS metabolism
- Practical explorations of nutrient and sugar signaling and associated gene networks in plants
- Extensive treatments of the role of nutrients in plant–microbe interactions and nutrient-use efficiency in plants
Perfect for students, researchers, academics, and scientists with an interest in plant nutrition, Plant Ionomics: Sensing, Signaling and Regulation will also earn a place in the libraries of professionals in the agriculture and pharmaceutical industries.
About the author
Vijay Pratap Singh is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Botany at C.M.P. Degree College in the University of Allahabad in India. His research is focused on the regulation of abiotic stress in plants, with a special emphasis on nitric oxide, nutrients, phytohormonal, hydrogen sulfide, and reactive oxygen species signaling.
Manzer H. Siddiqui is an Associate Professor of plant physiology at the Department of Botany and Microbiology, College of Science, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia. Dr. Siddiqui has more than 22 years of research experience in crop production, with special emphasis on the management strategies of different fertilizers, plant growth regulators and signaling molecules. He is interested in unveiling the physiological and molecular basis of mechanisms of tolerance of plants to various environmental stresses.
