Flavonoids for Plant Development and Stress Tolerance presents the latest information on the genetic and molecular networks induced by flavonoids that regulate plant and microbe interactions. Covering recent studies, innovations, and future perspectives on flavonoid metabolism, this book explores their role in modulating plant responses to environmental changes, providing valuable insights for current applications and future research directions.
Flavonoids are important secondary metabolites synthesized in plants, known for their antioxidant properties and their role in scavenging oxidative stress markers. While extensively studied in model plants, research on flavonoids in other species remains limited. To fully understand the mechanisms involved in various plant growth phases, it is essential to identify and characterize different flavonoids and their types.
This volume offers a comprehensive overview of the diversity of flavonoids, their significance for food security, and the underlying molecular and biochemical mechanisms. It includes detailed descriptions of flavonoid biosynthesis, their functional diversity, and their involvement in plant responses to global climate change. Additionally, the book discusses flavonoid engineering, its status, and its potential to support agricultural sustainability.
Focusing on the molecular and biochemical pathways responsible for flavonoid-mediated stress responses, this valuable reference resource aims to deepen understanding of both foundational concepts and recent advancements in flavonoid engineering—ultimately contributing to the survival, productivity, and sustainability of plants under changing environmental conditions.
