Melatonin: A promising tool against climate change and food security for better plant survival. 330 $aThis book highlights the multifunctional role of the ubiquitous molecule, melatonin, in crop plants. The major focus of this edition is to provide detailed insights into morphophysiological, biochemical, and molecular responses of melatonin in the growth and development of the plant. The inception of melatonin as an animal hormone and the subsequent discovery of its multifaceted function in the animal system has triggered the research on this pineal gland hormone. During the last decade, the discovery, quantification and functional studies of melatonin as phytohormone has emerged at a rapid pace. Recently, this phyto-protectant has become an integral component of lab and field-based research on the mitigation of adverse effects of climate-driven abiotic stresses and postharvest biology and technology. The book explores various biosynthetic pathways and detection of melatonin covering its role in flowering, fruit development, photosynthesis, respiration, hormonal crosstalk, post-harvest biology and reactive oxygen species and nitrogen cycles. This book is of high interest to postharvest industries, horticulturists, scientists, researchers, and students. . 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aAgronomy 606 $aBotanical chemistry 606 $aPlant Physiology 606 $aAgronomy 606 $aPlant Biochemistry 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aAgronomy. 615 0$aBotanical chemistry. 615 14$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aAgronomy. 615 24$aPlant Biochemistry. 676 $a612.492 702 $aRawindara Kuma?ra 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910766880503321 996 $aMelatonin in Plants$93650078 997 $aUNINA
