This edited book highlights the multifunctional role of the ubiquitous molecule, melatonin in crop plants. 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.
Dr. Muhammad Ahsan Altaf completed his Ph.D. from the School of Life Science at Hainan University, China. He is currently employed as a postdoctoral researcher in the College of Horticulture, Hainan University, China. He has published around 50 research articles in top leading journals of the world, having high impact factor. His research interests are focused on the physiological, biochemical, and molecular aspects of horticultural plants, especially solanaceous vegetable crops. Dr. Altaf is actively engaged in investigating the role of melatonin in photosynthetic efficiency and mineral nutrient uptake from root to shoot under abiotic stress conditions.
Dr. Milan Kumar Lal, Doctor in Plant Physiology, working in the area of abiotic, abiotic stress and nutritional aspect
Dr. Rahul Kumar Tiwari, Doctor in Plant Pathology, works as a scientist at ICAR-Central Potato Research Institute Shimla, India. The research work of Dr Tiwari is focused on management of crop diseases, abiotic stress mitigation in horticultural crops, and the role of phytohormones in plant defense. His recent research findings on the impact of Fusarium dry rot disease on potatoes provide critical information on the pathogen, its genomics, and potential management strategies. Moreover, Dr Tiwari's research on the development of one-step reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification (RT-RPA) assays for the detection of potato viruses has the potential to contribute significantly to the development of disease-free potato seed certification programs. Dr Rahul Kumar Tiwari's exceptional research work has been widely recognized and awarded, including the IARI Gold Medal Award for his outstanding Ph.D. research work, and the Young Scientist Award. He has authored over 80 publications in highly acclaimed international and national peer-reviewed journals, book chapters, newsletters, and popular articles.
