Intracellular Signaling in Plants

Intracellular Signaling in Plants

 
An intriguing and important question in our understanding of plant developmental programming and responses to the environment is what kinds of strategies and mechanisms plant cells use for the transmission and the integration of various developmental and environmental signals. This book provides insight into this fundamental question in plant biology.
Intracellular Signaling in Plants is an excellent new addition to the increasingly well-known and respected Annual Plant Reviews and offers the reader:
• Chapters prepared by an esteemed team of international authors
• A consistent and well-illustrated approach to the subject matter
• An invaluable resource for all researchers and professionals in plant biochemistry and biology
This important volume also deals with major known signaling mechanisms and several representative intracellular signaling networks in plants, integrating comprehensive reviews and insights from leading experts in the field.
