À propos de cet ebook

Defense-related Proteins in Plants presents detailed information on the identification, characterization, mechanism of action, and application in crop improvement programs of these mechanisms in a single, cohesive volume. It includes foundational information to enable the understanding of these proteins and their applications 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, and 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 the ease of comparison and translational work. This book is a complete guide to defense-related proteins in plants for various categories of readers. Also, it will inspire future research into the unexplored areas of the molecular aspects of these proteins to understand their role and action mechanism in plants and living organisms as a whole. Additionally agricultural scientists and industry professionals will find the application part of this book helpful in future crop design strategies. - Presents comprehensive information on defense-related proteins in plants - Highlights practical application of defense-related proteins in crops - Structured for ease of comparison and translational work

Quelques mots sur l'auteur
