Springer - Phytohormones in Plant Biotechnology and Agriculture

Explore the fundamental role of phytohormones in plant sciences through this collection of proceedings from the NATO-Russia Workshop held in Moscow. This academic work examines how phytohormones act as key systems that integrate metabolic and developmental events across the entire plant. Understanding these chemical signals is essential for managing how plants respond to external factors, which directly impacts the yield and quality of agricultural crops. This volume provides insight into the molecular mechanisms behind phytohormone action. It reflects the progress made in plant molecular genetics, including research on putative receptor proteins for ethylene and brassinosteroids. This book serves as a valuable resource for researchers and students looking to understand the biological processes that govern plant growth and development in both biotechnology and agricultural settings.
