Harnessing Plant Stimulating Molecules: Innovations in Stress Biology and Crop Resilience serves as an authoritative reference on the multifaceted molecular regulators and biotechnological innovations underpinning plant resilience to environmental stressors. The book delivers an exhaustive treatment of diverse classes of signaling entities-including phytohormones, secondary messengers, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, and heterotrimeric G proteins-elucidating their roles in complex stress adaptation pathways. In addition to molecular and biochemical foundations, it explores advanced methodologies such as nanoparticle-facilitated metabolic modulation, RNA interference, gene editing strategies aimed at optimizing nutrient utilization.

Other section highlight the emerging significance of biostimulants in modulating plant-microbe interactions and inter-plant signaling networks. Detailed discussions on systemic signaling mediated by mobile molecules and photoreceptor-mediated photomorphogenic responses further enrich the scope. Users will find this to be a great resource that bridges fundamental plant molecular biology with translational biotechnology.
