Managing Plant Stress Using Salicylic Acid

<b>MANAGING PLANT STRESS USING SALICYLIC ACID</b><p><b>Enables readers to understand the ability of salicylic acid in reducing the effects of abiotic stresses in different crop species</b><p>Salicylic acid is an important plant hormone which acts as a multifunctional molecule and regulates key physiological and biochemical processes in plants. This book highlights the tremendous potential of treating plants with salicylic acid, either prior to or during stress. It focuses on the specific challenges and opportunities related to exogenous application or priming technology, such as the mode of application, new methodologies, and the potential impacts of salicylic acid on the environment. Sample topics covered in the book include: <ul><li>The latest research on the ability of salicylic acid in reducing the effects of abiotic stresses in different crop species</li><li>The mechanism of action of salicylic acid at the biochemical and molecular level</li><li>Salicylic acid and its crosstalk wi
