Peptide Hormones in Plant Development and Stress Responses

Wiley, 2026

Comprehensive resource on the basics of plant peptide hormones and their applications in food security and battling climate change Peptide Hormones in Plant Development and Stress Responses helps readers understand how plant peptide hormones regulate plant development and stress responses and addresses challenges in crop productivity and resilience under climate change. The book covers essential concepts, perspectives and skills related to the subject in plant biology, biotechnology and agricultural sciences. The first section looks at how plant peptides can be used to regulate plant morphology, organ size, root system architecture, plant senescence and peptide hormone signalling in both seed development and flowering. The second section looks at how plant peptide hormones impact plant stress responses and yields via nutrient assimilation, photosynthesis, photoprotection and plant defence priming. Topics explored in Peptide Hormones in Plant Development and Stress Responses include: Extracellular signals and peptide receptors The role of peptide hormone in cellular compartmentalisation Post-translational modifications of peptide hormones and their functionality Meristem activity regulation by peptide hormones Microbially derived peptide hormones and their role in stress tolerance Peptide Hormones in Plant Development and Stress Responses provides comprehensive coverage of the subject for researchers and students in plant biology, biotechnology and agricultural sciences, as well as professionals in the agriculture and food industries.
