Synopsis

Harnessing Plant-Stimulating Molecules serves as an authoritative reference on the multifaceted molecular regulators and biotechnological innovations underpinning plant resilience to environmental stressors. This volume delivers an exhaustive treatment of diverse classes of signaling entities―including phytohormones, secondary messengers, 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, this book explores advanced methodologies such as nanoparticle-facilitated metabolic modulation, RNA interference, and gene-editing strategies aimed at optimizing nutrient utilization. It also highlights the emerging significance of biostimulants in modulating plant–microbe interactions and interplant signaling networks. Detailed discussions on systemic signaling mediated by mobile molecules and photoreceptor-mediated photomorphogenic responses further enrich the scope. By integrating cutting-edge approaches, particularly CRISPR–Cas systems, with computational modeling for simulating metabolic networks, the volume facilitates accelerated crop improvement strategies essential for addressing contemporary challenges in food security and agroecosystem sustainability. Designed as an indispensable resource for researchers, advanced graduate students, and industry professionals, Harnessing Plant-Stimulating Molecules bridges fundamental plant molecular biology with translational biotechnology, fostering the development of resilient, high-performance crops adapted to the challenges of a changing climate.
