Description
Plant Hormones: Biosynthesis, Signal Transduction, Action! is a definitive scientific treatise that provides an in-depth examination of plant hormone systems. The work covers the complete spectrum of hormone biology, from the molecular level of biosynthesis to cellular signal transduction pathways and their ultimate physiological consequences.
Peter J. Davies presents detailed analysis of major plant hormones including auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, abscisic acid, and brassinosteroids. Each hormone is explored through its chemical synthesis, receptor mechanisms, and role in regulating critical plant processes such as cell elongation, flowering, fruit development, and stress responses. The book integrates cutting-edge research findings with established principles of plant physiology.
This comprehensive reference is essential for plant biologists, biochemists, agronomists, and researchers seeking authoritative information on how plants coordinate growth and adapt to their environment through chemical signaling.
