Phytohormones and Stress Responsive Secondary Metabolites 1st Edition

Phytohormones and Stress Responsive Secondary Metabolites — 1st Edition by Munir Ozturk, Rouf Bhat, Muhammad Ashraf, Fernanda Tonelli, Bengu Unal, and Gowhar Dar delivers a timely, authoritative exploration of how plants manage environmental stress through chemical signaling and metabolite production.

Begin with a clear picture of the stakes: climate variability, drought, salinity and pathogen pressure challenge global food security. This book explains how plant hormones and stress-responsive secondary metabolites interact to shape resilience, productivity and quality in crops and wild species. It synthesizes physiology, biochemistry and molecular insights into accessible, practical knowledge.

Readers will find in-depth, up-to-date discussion of core phytohormones (including abscisic acid, ethylene, jasmonates, salicylic acid, auxins and cytokinins) and key metabolite classes (flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolics, alkaloids). Emphasis is placed on regulatory networks, signaling crosstalk and the adaptive roles these compounds play under abiotic and biotic stress. Case studies and research-driven perspectives show applications for crop improvement, sustainable agronomy and natural-product utilization.

Ideal for plant physiologists, agronomists, graduate students, and crop-management professionals, this volume bridges fundamental science and real-world solutions. Its insights are applicable across climates — from arid and semi-arid zones to temperate and tropical regions — making it especially valuable to researchers and practitioners worldwide seeking resilient crop strategies.

Clear, well-referenced and practically oriented, Phytohormones and Stress Responsive Secondary Metabolites (1st Edition) equips you with the conceptual tools and applied understanding needed to tackle plant stress challenges today. Order your copy to deepen expertise and translate plant stress biology into improved crop resilience and sustainable production.
