Plant Receptors in Cellular Signaling

Plant Receptors in Cellular Signaling: Key Regulators during Development and Stress Adaptation delves deep into the structural and functional aspects of diverse plant receptors, emphasizing their crucial roles in signaling pathways. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research on receptor-mediated phytohormone signaling and identifies various classes of receptors, their complexes, and their interaction with hormones and growth regulators. It also explores the regulation of signaling components and gene expression, showcasing the intricate relationship between membrane-bound receptors and cytoplasmic receptor-like kinases. The book highlights the mechanistic operation of receptors in relation to major phytohormones, growth regulators, and metabolites. It explains how receptors detect signals from altered developmental processes, tissue damage, and pathogens, initiating sophisticated cell signaling mechanisms. This work is invaluable to academics and researchers focused on hormone signaling, stress physiology, gene expression analysis, and the broader field of plant cellular signaling mechanisms.
