Bücher der Reihe Signaling and Communication in Plants

Microbial chapters explain the biochemistry and ecology of quorum sensing and how microbial communities highly co-adapted to plants can aid in bio-energy applications by degrading ligno-cellulosic materials.

This volume focuses on the structure, function and regulation of plant signaling G proteins and their function in hormonal pathways, polarity, differentiation, morphogenesis and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Plants are sessile organisms that need to continuously coordinate between external and internal cues.

Pinpointing a scientific question that has gone unanswered, Coding and Decoding of Calcium Signals in Plants explores the complex role calcium plays in plant life's ability to perceive, respond, and adapt to constantly changing environmental conditions.

Plants have evolved with a complex array of signaling molecules to facilitate their growth and development and their interactions with the environment.

Plants are sessile, highly sensitive organisms that actively compete for environmental resources both above and below the ground.

This is the first comprehensive monograph on all emerging topics in plant signaling. The book addresses diverse aspects of signaling at all levels of plant organization. Emphasis is placed on the integrative aspects of signaling.

This book describes the three gasotransmitters nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and carbon monoxide (CO) and their function as intracellular signalling molecules in plants.

This book summarizes our current knowledge on belowground defence strategies in plants by world-class scientists actively working in the area.

This book will summarize the recent advances regarding plant aquaporins, their phylogeny, structure, substrate specificity, mechanisms of regulation and roles in various important physiological processes related to the control of water flow and small solute distribution at the cell, tissue and plant level in an ever-changing environment.

Our image of plants is changing dramatically away from passive entities merely subject to environmental forces and organisms that are designed solely for the accumulation of photosynthate.

Functions of ion channels are discussed in the context of mechanisms to relay external and endogenous signals during stress and as mechanisms to regulate cellular ion homeostasis and enzymatic activities in the context of biotic and abiotic stress.

This is the first comprehensive monograph on all emerging topics in plant signaling. The book addresses diverse aspects of signaling at all levels of plant organization. Emphasis is placed on the integrative aspects of signaling.

Sequencing projects have revealed the presence of at least several hundred receptor kinases in a typical plant genome. Receptor kinases are therefore the largest family of primary signal transducers in plants, and their abundance suggests an immense signaling network that we have only just begun to uncover.

This book introduces the scientific pioneers who first attempted to quantify and understand the vast diversity of tropical forests, along with their successors, who wield modern tools and technologies to dissect the chemical nature of rainforest interactions.

A multiplicity of biotrophic micro-organisms interact with plants in nature, forming symbiotic relationships that range from mutualism to antagonism. To establish themselves within plant tissues, both mutualistic and pathogenic biotrophs need to overcome the plant defense response through an exchange of molecular signals.

To detect and to respond to such forces, plant cells and plants need to be structured mechanically.This volume focuses on mechanical aspects of plant life.

Precise regulation of gene expression in both time and space is vital to plant growth, development and adaptation to biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Recent studies have revealed that microRNAs play fundamental roles in plant growth and development, as well as in adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Our view of plants is changing dramatically. Higher plants coordinate and integrate their tissues and organs via sophisticated sensory systems, which sensitively screen both internal and external factors, feeding them information through both chemical and electrical systemic long-distance communication channels.

Epigenetics commonly acts at the chromatin level modulating its structure and consequently its function in gene expression and as such plays a critical role in plant response to internal and external cues.

This book covers topics from physiological and genetic studies of polar auxin transport in plant development, to environmental growth responses and plant-microbe interactions, to essential hormonal cross-talk with cellular and molecular regulatory processes.

Plant innate immunity is a potential surveillance system of plants and is the first line of defense against invading pathogens.

Pinpointing a scientific question that has gone unanswered, Coding and Decoding of Calcium Signals in Plants explores the complex role calcium plays in plant life's ability to perceive, respond, and adapt to constantly changing environmental conditions.

Phospholipases in Plant Signaling

This book reviews the current state of information on reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and their role in cell communication during plant growth, development and adaptation to stress conditions. It addresses current research advances made in the area of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) signaling.

Plants must adapt to changing environmental conditions. This volume highlights the role of transporters and pumps in the regulation of movement, long-range transport and compartmentalization of water, solutes, nutrients and classical signaling molecules.
