Strigolactones, Alkamides and Karrikins in Plants: Recent Updates and Future Prospects provides comprehensive knowledge on the various aspects of plant growth, physiology, and communication associated with the three potential biomolecules. Strigolactones have gained much importance in the last decade as potential plant growth regulators. Likewise, alkamides are also known for their plant growth regulatory and pharmacological properties. The evolutionary signi?ficance of karrikins as a potential signaling molecule in different plant groups has been fascinating to plant physiologists and ecologists. This book enables the reader to gain insights into the myriad role of these biomolecules in plant physiology in normal and challenging environments.The book offers comprehensive coverage of the most essential topics, including: Regulation of strigolactone biosynthesis Strigolactones and plant stress tolerance Strigolactones and parasitic plants Alkamides and plant-microbe interaction in rhizosphere Pharmacological potential of alkamides Molecular associations of strigolactones and karrikins Karrikins in plant biotechnology Commercial realities of karrikins in biodiversity restoration In reference to the recent findings in the ?field, the authors have provided insights into the role of each biomolecule and analyzed the future prospects of each cover area.The present book is the first of its kind, in which the three molecules have been integrated as potential regulators of plant signaling, communication, and physiology in adverse conditions. Karrikins in plant biology is an emerging field in which its inter-relationship with strigolactones shall pave the way to future investigations of the molecular mechanisms of plant stress tolerance, regulation of root system architecture, and crop yield.
