Strigolactone in Plants - CABI Publishers
Invite you to contribute to our upcoming edited books, scheduled to be published by CABI Publishers. We believe your expertise in Plant stress Biochemistry would make a valuable contribution to this collection.
Description
Strigolactones are a class of plant hormones that play a crucial role in regulating plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stresses. These compounds were initially identified for their role in stimulating the germination of parasitic plants, but recent research has uncovered their broader significance in plant biology. Strigolactones influence various aspects of plant architecture, including shoot branching, root development, and leaf senescence. Moreover, they act as signaling molecules that help plants adapt to nutrient-deficient conditions and other environmental stresses. Understanding the multifaceted roles of strigolactones is essential for developing strategies to improve crop yield and resilience in the face of changing climatic conditions.

Submissions:
Abstract requirements: It should be concise, three to five sentences, and no more than 150 words. Avoid personal pronouns and use the impersonal voice: for example, "this chapter explores" is better than "in this chapter, I explore". The chapter titles do not need to be repeated in the chapter abstracts.
After the acceptance of the complete chapter, the contributor contract will be provided.
