Plant-Induced Systemic Resistance

Mechanisms and Applications Against Biotic and Abiotic Stressors

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Plant Induced Systemic Resistance: Mechanisms and Applications Against Pests, Pathogens, and Environmental Stressors explores the role of this important approach in enhancing plant-defense mechanisms against pests, pathogens, and environmental stressors. It presents a comprehensive overview of the underlying molecular mechanisms, signaling pathways, and biotechnological innovations that drive plant immunity. As the global agricultural industry faces increasing challenges from climate change, pest resistance, and the environmental impact of chemical treatments, there is a pressing need for sustainable and innovative solutions. This book offers readers a deep understanding of PISR, presenting both theoretical insights and practical strategies to harness plant defenses for improved crop resilience and sustainability. By providing foundational as well as cutting-edge knowledge, it equips graduate students, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers with the tools needed to enhance plant health while reducing dependence on harmful chemicals. Moreover, the book emphasizes the importance of integrating PISR-based approaches into existing pest management frameworks, showcasing case studies where these methods have been successfully implemented. This comprehensive approach offers practical solutions that can be adopted at both the field and commercial scales, helping to drive the future of sustainable agriculture. Bridging the knowledge gap between plant immunity research and practical applications in crop protection and with a focus on sustainable agricultural practices, Plant Induced Systemic Resistance: Mechanisms and Applications Against Pests, Pathogens, and Environmental Stressors highlights how PISR can serve as a powerful alternative to chemical pesticides, offering eco-friendly solutions to pest and disease control. It also discusses the application of RNA-based technologies, such as RNA interference (RNAi), to manipulate plant immune responses and enhance resistance against various biotic and abiotic stressors, further opening new avenues for crop protection.
