Plant Ionomics: Sensing, Signaling and Regulation

A thoroughly up-to-date exploration of nutrient uptake in plants

In Plant Ionomics: Sensing, Signaling, and Regulation, accomplished botanists and researchers Dr. Vijay Singh and Dr Manzer Siddiqui deliver an up-to-date discussion of the sensing, signaling, and regulation of nutrient uptake in plants under a variety of conditions. The book offers an accessible and easy-to-use reference for researchers with an interest in plant ionomics, combining the latest research from leading laboratories around the globe.

The authors provide coverage of a variety of critical topics, including plant and soil nutrient stoichiometry, nutrient management and stress tolerance in crops, and the relationship between agricultural production and nutrient applications. Readers will also find:

A thorough introduction to nutrient regulation and abiotic stress tolerance in plants In-depth discussions of nutrient uptake and transport in plants and the role of nutrients in ROS metabolism Practical explorations of nutrient and sugar signaling and associated gene networks in plants Extensive treatments of the role of nutrients in plant-microbe interactions and nutrient-use efficiency in plants

Perfect for students, researchers, academics, and scientists with an interest in plant nutrition, Plant Ionomics: Sensing, Signaling, and Regulation will also earn a place in the libraries of professionals in the agriculture and pharmaceutical industries.
