2024-10-26

We invite you to contribute to our upcoming edited books, which are scheduled to be published by Wiley-Scrivener. We believe your expertise in Plant stress Biochemistry would make a valuable contribution to this collection.

Description

"Melatonin-Mediated Epigenetic Regulation of Stress Tolerance" delves into the intricate roles of melatonin in plants, particularly focusing on how it influences stress tolerance through epigenetic mechanisms. This comprehensive volume explores melatonin’s modulation of DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA expression, revealing its critical function in plant biology and stress response. The book synthesizes recent research findings with practical applications, offering valuable insights for scientists, researchers, and students engaged in plant physiology, epigenetics, and agricultural biotechnology.
