Synopsis
Exogenous Priming and Engineering of Plant Metabolic and Regulatory Genes: Stress Mitigation Strategies in Plants provides insights into metabolic adjustment, their regulation, and the regulatory networks involved in plants responding to stress situations. It contains comprehensive information, combining mechanistic priming and engineering approaches from the conventional to those recently developed. In addition, the book addresses seed priming, tolerance mechanisms, pre-and post-treatment, as well as sensory response, and genetic manipulation. From basic concepts to modern technologies and prevailing policies, readers will find this book useful in enhancing their understanding of the area as well as helping in identifying approaches for future research.
