• Sommario/riassunto: This book offers an approach to overcoming the challenges of abiotic stress in agriculture. By focusing on the role of plant elicitors, it provides a comprehensive exploration of how these compounds can activate a plant's immune system, leading to increased resistance against stressors such as salt, heavy metals, and temperature fluctuations. The chapters delve into a range of topics, including the cellular and molecular mechanisms modulated by elicitors, the protocols for their application, and their potential to reduce oxidative damage in plants. The book also addresses the critical questions such as the efficacy of plant elicitors in promoting sustainable agriculture. It also provides information on how physical and chemical treatments can activate plant defense systems and the role of elicitors in achieving a healthier, more productive harvest. Designed for researchers, agricultural professionals, and farmers, this book offers innovative solutions to the challenges of abiotic stress in crops. It provides practical strategies for safeguarding crops and enhancing productivity, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in advancing sustainable agricultural practices.
