It highlights the similarities and differences between results obtained in temperate regions of the world and WCA in terms of corroboration or refutation of genetic principles and theory of maize breeding. The book is expected to be of great interest to maize breeders, advanced undergraduates, graduate students, professors and research scientists in the national and international research institutes all over the world, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa. It will also serve as a useful reference for agricultural extension and technology transfer systems, Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), seed companies and community-based seed enterprises, policy makers, and all those who are interested in generating wealth from agriculture and alleviating hunger and poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa. 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPlant breeding 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aPlant ecology 606 $aAgriculture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L11006 606 $aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L24060 606 $aPlant Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33020 606 $aPlant Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19112 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aPlant breeding. 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aPlant ecology. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aPlant Breeding/Biotechnology. 615 24$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aPlant Ecology. 676 $a630 700 $aBadu-Apraku$b Baffour$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0875489 702 $aFakorede$b M.A.B$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910253960403321 996 $aAdvances in Genetic Enhancement of Early and Extra-Early Maize for Sub-Saharan Africa$91954768 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03484nam 2200469z- 450 001 9910161648603321 005 20210212 035 $a(CKB)3710000001041978 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/58812 035 $a(oapen)doab58812 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001041978 100 $a20202102d2016 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aSalicylic Acid Signaling Networks 210 $cFrontiers Media SA$d2016 215 $a1 online resource (188 p.) 225 1 $aFrontiers Research Topics 311 08$a2-88919-827-8 330 $aThe small phenolic compound salicylic acid (SA) is critical for plant defense against a broad spectrum of pathogens. SA is also involved in multi-layered defense responses, from pathogen-associated molecular pattern triggered basal defense, resistance gene-mediated defense, to systemic acquired resistance. Recent decades have witnessed tremendous progress towards our understanding of SA-mediated signaling networks. Many genes have been identified to have direct or indirect effect on SA biosynthesis or to regulate SA accumulation. Several SA receptors have been identified and characterization of these receptors has shed light on the mechanisms of SA-mediated defense signaling, which encompass chromosomal remodeling, DNA repair, epigenetics, to transcriptional reprogramming. Molecules from plant-associated microbes have been identified, which manipulate SA levels and/or SA signaling. SA does not act alone. It engages in crosstalk with other signaling pathways, such as those mediated by other phytohormones, in an agonistic or antagonistic manner, depending on hormones and pathosystems. Besides affecting plant innate immunity, SA has also been implicated in other cellular processes, such as flowering time determination, lipid metabolism, circadian clock control, and abiotic stress responses, possibly contributing to the regulation of plant development. The multifaceted function of SA makes it critically important to further identify genes involved in SA signaling networks, understand their modes of action, and delineate interactions among the components of SA signaling networks. In addition, genetic manipulation of genes involved in SA signaling networks has also provided a promising approach to enhance disease resistance in economically important plants. This ebook collects articles in the Research Topic "Salicylic Acid Signaling Networks". For this collection we solicited reviews, perspectives, and original research articles that highlight recent exciting progress on the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying SA-mediated defense, SA-crosstalk with other pathways and how microbes impact these events. 606 $aBotany & plant sciences$2bicssc 610 $aCellular redox 610 $aCircadian clock 610 $acrosstalk 610 $aflowering 610 $aLipid Metabolism 610 $aNPR1 610 $apathogen effector 610 $aReactive Oxygen Species 610 $aSA receptors 610 $asystemic acquired resistance 615 7$aBotany & plant sciences 700 $aLoreto Holuigue$4auth$01326350 702 $aJean Toby Greenberg$4auth 702 $aHua Lu$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910161648603321 996 $aSalicylic Acid Signaling Networks$93037363 997 $aUNINA
