Plant growth is regulated by developmental programmes that can be
modified by environmental cues acting through endogenous signaling
molecules including plant hormones.
This volume provides an overview of the biosynthesis,
catabolism, perception and signal transduction of the individual
hormone classes, followed by chapters on hormone distribution and
transport, and the roles of hormone signaling in specific
developmental processes. Particular attention is paid to the
regulation of hormone signaling by environmental and developmental
cues, sites of hormone metabolism and action, and interactions
between hormone signaling pathways. The book is directed at
researchers and professionals in plant biochemistry and molecular
biology.
