The major focus of this edition is to provide a comprehensive insight into the key focus is on Melatonin mediated alleviation of abiotic stresses and pathogens infection. The inception of melatonin as an animal hormone and the subsequent discovery of its multifaceted function in the animal system has revolutionized the research on this penial 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 melatonin mediated management of various abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, heat and cold temperature. The book also focuses on role of melatonin in heavy metal stress, viral, bacterial, and fungal diseases, and, also contains chapter on melatonin facilitated nutrient use efficiency in plants. This book is of interest to postharvest industries, horticulturists, scientists, researchers, and students. 606 $aPlant physiology 606 $aPlant diseases 606 $aBotanical chemistry 606 $aPlant Physiology 606 $aPlant Pathology 606 $aPlant Biochemistry 615 0$aPlant physiology. 615 0$aPlant diseases. 615 0$aBotanical chemistry. 615 14$aPlant Physiology. 615 24$aPlant Pathology. 615 24$aPlant Biochemistry. 676 $a581.7 700 $aKumar$b Ravinder$0375218 701 $aAltaf$b Muhammad Ahsan$01585759 701 $aLal$b Milan Kumar$01585760 701 $aTiwari$b Rahul Kumar$01585761 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910799240603321 996 $aMelatonin in Plants: A Pleiotropic Molecule for Abiotic Stresses and Pathogen Infection$93877648 997 $aUNINA
