Overview
- Includes a successive flow of information on compatible solutes rather than unorganized or repetitive compilation
- Dissects the biosynthesis, regulation, underlying mechanism and role of widely- (proline, glycine betaine, trehalose, and polyamines) and under- (fructans, raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA), sugar alcohols and amino acids other than proline) discussed compatible solutes during plant adaptation to changing climate or abiotic stress
- Describes the relationship between compatible solutes with other important defense or signaling pathways

About this book
The development of stress tolerant plant varieties through conventional breeding is very slow due to complex multigene traits. Engineering compatible solutes biosynthesis by deciphering the mechanism behind the abiotic tolerance or accumulation in plants cell is a potential emerging strategy to mitigate adverse effects of abiotic stresses and increase global crop production. However, detailed information on compatible solutes, including their sensing/signaling, biosynthesis, regulatory components, underlying biochemical mechanisms, crosstalk with other signaling pathways, and transgenic development have not been compiled into a single resource. Our book intends to fill this unmet need, with insight from recent advances in compatible solutes research on agriculturally important crop plants.
