"Different forms of environmental stresses like salinity, drought, high or low temperature, heavy metal/metalloid, UV, high light intensity and nutrient deficiency inflict major damage to crop plants leading to a massive decrease in crop yield and productivity. This book will highlight the tremendous potential of treating plants with salicylic acid, either prior to or during stress, in lowering oxidative damages and causing enhanced tolerance during stress conditions. The latest research on the ability of salicylic acid in reducing the effects of abiotic stresses in different crop species, together with their mechanism of action at the biochemical and molecular level will be emphasized. Such documentation of salicylic acid roles will stimulate further research towards fully exposing their way of action, which, in turn, would be of great significance for plant stress physiology research. In addition, focusing on specific challenges and opportunities related to the exogenous application or priming technology, such as the mode of application, new methodologies and the potential impacts of salicylic acid on the environment, would result in the optimum and rapid establishment of this technology as a tool in crop stress management. This book will foster further interests for researchers, academicians and scientists worldwide, working in the field of salicylic acid mediated plant responses in plants under challenging environments and abiotic stress tolerance"--
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.
