This book is a comprehensive guide to strigolactones’ role in plant biology, growth, and sustainable agriculture.
Strigolactones, a fascinating and rapidly evolving class of plant hormones, have garnered significant attention in plant biology over the past decade. Initially discovered for stimulating the germination of parasitic plants, strigolactones are now recognized as key regulators of numerous plant processes, including growth, development, and response to environmental stresses. Their multifaceted nature and wide-ranging impact on plant physiology make strigolactones a critical study area for researchers aiming to enhance crop yield, resilience, and overall agricultural productivity.
This edited volume provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on strigolactones, exploring their biosynthesis, signaling mechanisms, and practical applications in agriculture. The book collects contributions from leading experts in the field, offering a diverse and in-depth perspective on the various roles that strigolactones play in plant biology.
The chapters in this volume cover a broad spectrum of topics, from the molecular and genetic basis of strigolactone biosynthesis to their interactions with other phytohormones and environmental factors. The book examines the regulatory functions of strigolactones in plant architecture, including shoot branching, root development, and leaf senescence, as well as their involvement in stress responses such as drought, salinity, and pathogen attack. Also highlighted are recent advancements in understanding strigolactone signaling pathways and the potential for genetic engineering to manipulate these hormones for crop improvement.
Audience Plant biologists, agronomists, horticulturists, and agriculture industry professionals studying plant development to address agricultural challenges.

Molecular farming is a biotechnological approach that includes the genetic adjustment of agricultural products to create proteins and chemicals for profitable and pharmaceutical purposes. Plant molecular farming describes the manufacture of recombinant proteins and other biologically active product in plants. This approach depends on a genetic transformation of plants that can be accomplished by the methods of stable gene transfer, such as gene transfer to nuclei and chloroplasts, and unstable transfer methods like viral vectors. The requirement for recombinant proteins in terms of quality, quantity, and diversity is increasing exponentially This demand is traditionally met by recombinant protein construction technologies and the engineering of orthodox expression systems based on bacteria or mammalian cell cultures. However, majority of developing countries cannot afford the high costs of medicine derived from such existing methods. Hence, we need to produce not only the new drugsbut also the cheaper versions of those already present in the market. Plant molecular farming is considered as a cost-effective technology that has grown and advanced tremendously over the past two decades.
This book summarizes the advances and challenges of plant molecular farming for all those who are working on or have an interest in this rapidly emerging area of research.
