Synopsis

Plant Receptors in Cellular Signaling provides a comprehensive account of how plants perceive and respond to internal and external cues through receptor-mediated pathways. The volume integrates structural, functional, and mechanistic perspectives to examine the diverse spectrum of plant receptors--including phytohormone receptors, growth regulator receptors, receptor-like kinases, and multiprotein complexes--that orchestrate growth, development, and survival under changing conditions.

The book explains receptor functions in auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, ethylene, jasmonate, salicylic acid, brassinosteroid, strigolactone, and karrikin signaling, while also addressing membranebound and cytoplasmic kinases, glutamate-like receptors, and other critical signaling components. By linking structural biology with functional outcomes, it shows how protein conformation and ligand recognition determine specificity and regulatory control.

Emphasizing the interplay and crosstalk among receptor-mediated pathways, the text demonstrates how plants translate complex signals into precise cellular responses that regulate gene expression, coordinate development, and enable adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Rich in mechanistic detail and conceptual breadth, Plant Receptors in Cellular Signaling is an essential reference for researchers and academics in plant biology, molecular signaling, stress physiology, and related fields seeking to understand how plants transform signals into adaptive strategies.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Prof. (Dr.) Aryadeep Roychoudhury is currently serving as Professor in the Discipline of Life Sciences, School of Sciences, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), New Delhi. Before joining IGNOU, he worked as Assistant Professor at the Post Graduate Department of Biotechnology, St. Xavier's College (Autonomous), Kolkata. Prof. Roychoudhury did B.Sc. (Honours) in Botany from Presidency College, Kolkata, and M.Sc. in Biophysics and Molecular Biology from University of Calcutta. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Science from Bose Institute, Kolkata under Jadavpur University in the area of Plant Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. He has been associated with the molecular regulation of late embryogenesis abundant genes and the basic leucine zipper group of transcription factors, governing salt tolerance in rice. His post doctoral research was based on translational research on transgenic rice with enhanced salt and drought tolerance. His current research interests include physiological and molecular responses and cell signaling of plants during diverse abiotic stresses including fluoride, heavy metals, salinity and drought. He holds 23 years of research experience in the concerned discipline. Prof. Roychoudhury has handled several government-funded projects on abiotic stress responses in rice and supervised five Ph.D. students as sole principal investigator. To date, he has published over 260 articles in peer- reviewed journals and chapters in books of international and national repute. He has already edited 14 books from reputed publishers and has also guest edited special issues in several renowned international journals. Prof. Roychoudhury is the recipient of the Young Scientist Award 2019, conferred by the International Foundation for Environment and Ecology, at the University of Allahabad, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. His name is included in the Stanford University's List of World's Top 2% Most Influential Scientists
