Molecular Approaches in Plant Biology and Environmental Challenges
Abstract
Global development has generated a plethora of changes in the ecosystem, which directly or indirectly affect living organisms in the biosphere. Plants are crucial to sustaining life on this planet. Therefore, it is desirable to understand manifold biological processes in plants at molecular levels in response to the environmental challenges. The development in molecular technologies worldwide provides a great hope to evolve approaches for augmenting stress tolerance in plants, keeping in mind the extreme environmental conditions in different parts of the world. Research strategies need to be designed in executing the favorable genetic manipulations in the crucial molecular components of the plants such as transcription factors, superoxide dismutases, receptor kinases, histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases, signaling pathways, secondary metabolic pathways, etc.
