Melatonin: Signal Transduction Mechanisms and Defense Networks in Plants
This edited volume presents cutting-edge insights into the multifaceted roles of melatonin in improving plant resilience to both biotic and abiotic stresses. It brings together recent advances in understanding how melatonin regulates signal transduction pathways to modulate plant growth and development under challenging environmental conditions. The chapters explore melatonin's involvement in reactive oxygen and nitrogen species signaling, its interaction with heat shock proteins, regulation of ionic homeostasis, and its cross-talk with key phytohormones. The book also examines its efficacy in mitigating drought, salinity, heat, and heavy metal stress. A valuable resource for researchers, agronomists, and policymakers, this book combines scientific depth with practical relevance. It bridges the gap between theoretical research and practical applications, making it an essential resource for those seeking to enhance crop performance and resilience in the face of climate change and environmental pressures.

Mechanisms of Stress Tolerance in Horticultural Crops: Physiological and Molecular Insights
The field of horticultural crop production is increasingly challenged by both abiotic and biotic stressors, exacerbated by global climatic changes and anthropogenic activities. These stressors, including salinity, drought, temperature extremes, and heavy metal contamination, significantly impact plant growth, yield, and quality. Horticultural crops exhibit varied responses to these stressors, particularly during critical growth phases such as seedling establishment, vegetative growth, reproductive stages, and senescence. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of understanding the physiological, biochemical, and molecular responses of these crops to stress. However, gaps remain in fully elucidating the resistance mechanisms and mitigation strategies. Additionally, biotic stressors like viruses, fungi, bacteria, insects, and nematodes further compromise crop vigor and productivity. The role of biostimulants, hormones, novel chemicals, and microorganisms in enhancing stress tolerance is an emerging area of interest, with recent findings pointing to the beneficial effects of phytochemicals, secondary metabolites, and antimicrobial peptides in stress mitigation.
