ncRNAs to Plant Stress Tolerance - Wiley

2024-08-19

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as key regulators in plant responses to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, temperature extremes, and heavy metals. This book provides an in-depth exploration of the diverse roles that ncRNAs play in modulating plant stress responses at the molecular level. By highlighting recent research advancements, it aims to shed light on the intricate regulatory networks controlled by ncRNAs that enable plants to withstand and adapt to adverse environmental conditions.

The book begins with a comprehensive introduction to the types and functions of ncRNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). It then delves into the specific mechanisms through which these ncRNAs influence gene expression and physiological processes in plants under various abiotic stress conditions. Through detailed case studies and experimental evidence, readers will gain insights into the potential of ncRNA-based biotechnological approaches for enhancing crop resilience.
