Ebook: Strigolactones, Alkamides and Karrikins in Plants: Recent Updates and Future Prospects

Strigolactones, Alkamides and Karrikins in Plants: Recent Updates and Future Prospects provides
comprehensive knowledge on the various aspects of plant growth, physiology, and communication
associated with the three potential biomolecules. Strigolactones have gained much importance in the
last decade as potential plant growth regulators. Likewise, alkamides are also known for their plant
growth regulatory and pharmacological properties. The evolutionary signi□ficance of karrikins as a
potential signaling molecule in different plant groups has been fascinating to plant physiologists and
ecologists. This book enables the reader to gain insights into the myriad role of these biomolecules
in plant physiology in normal and challenging environments.

The book offers comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics, including:

• Regulation of strigolactone biosynthesis.
• Strigolactones and plant stress tolerance.
• Strigolactones and parasitic plants.
• Alkamides and plant-microbe interaction in rhizosphere.
• Pharmacological potential of alkamides.
• Molecular associations of strigolactones and karrikins.
• Karrikins in plant biotechnology.
• Commercial realities of karrikins in biodiversity restoration.

In reference to the recent findings in the □field, the authors have provided insights into the role of each
biomolecule and analyzed the future prospects of each cover area.

The present book is the first of its kind, in which the three molecules have been integrated as potential
regulators of plant signaling, communication, and physiology in adverse conditions. Karrikins in
plant biology is an emerging field in which its inter-relationship with strigolactones shall pave the way
to future investigations of the molecular mechanisms of plant stress tolerance, regulation of root
system architecture, and crop yield.
