Beskrivelse
Defense-related Proteins in Plants presents detailed information on these important mechanisms in plants, including their identification, characterization, mechanism of action and application in crop improvement programs in a single, cohesive and comprehensive volume. The foundational information included enables understanding of these proteins, and their application in crop improvement programs. Defense-related proteins have drawn the attention of various plant and agricultural scientists and industries because they provide generalized direct stress tolerance in crop plants. These proteins including lectins, chitinases, thaumatin, osmotin among others, have been used for the development of transgenic plants to provide protection against various abiotic and biotic stresses. While there is a breadth of research and application information available, it has not previously been compiled into a single volume for ease of comparison and translational work. Defense-related Proteins in Plants is a complete guide about defense-related proteins in plants for various categories of readers. The book would also inspire future research into the unexplored areas of molecular aspects of these proteins to understand their role and action mechanism in plants and living organisms as a whole. Further, the application part of this book will facilitate the agricultural scientists and industries in future crop designing strategies.
