About this title

Synopsis

MANAGING PLANT STRESS USING SALICYLIC ACID

Enables readers to understand the ability of salicylic acid in reducing the effects of abiotic stresses in different crop species

Salicylic acid is an important plant hormone which acts as a multifunctional molecule and regulates key physiological and biochemical processes in plants. This book highlights the tremendous potential of treating plants with salicylic acid, either prior to or during stress. It focuses on the specific challenges and opportunities related to exogenous application or priming technology, such as the mode of application, new methodologies, and the potential impacts of salicylic acid on the environment. Sample topics covered in the book include:

• The latest research on the ability of salicylic acid in reducing the effects of abiotic stresses in different crop species
• The mechanism of action of salicylic acid at the biochemical and molecular level
• Salicylic acid and its crosstalk with other plant hormones under stressful environments
• Regulation of abiotic stress by salicylic acid at the gene level
• The role of salicylic acid on the postharvest physiology of plants

This book will be of significant interest to researchers, academics, and scientists working in the field of salicylic acid mediated responses in plants under challenging environments and with abiotic stress tolerance.
