Rapid developments in molecular and systems biology techniques have allowed researchers to unravel many new mechanisms through which plant cells switch over to alternative respiratory pathways.This book is a unique compendium of how and why higher plants evolved alternative respiratory metabolism. It offers a comprehensive review of current research in the biochemistry, physiology, classification and regulation of plant alternative respiratory pathways, from alternative oxidase diversity to functional marker development. The resource provides a broad range of perspectives on the applications of plant respiratory physiology, and suggests brand new areas of research.Other key features:

Primarily for plant physiologists and plant biologists, this authoritative compendium will also be of great value topostdoctoral researchers working on plant respiration, as well as to graduate and postgraduate students and university staff in Plant Science. It is a useful resource for corporate and private firms involved in developing functional markers for breeding programs and controlling respiration for the prevention of post-harvest losses in fruit, vegetables, cut flowers and tubers.

With numerous methods available for the quantification ofnitric oxide (NO), this detailed book explores their advantages anddisadvantages in order to provide a foundation for further research in plantnitric oxide. After providing a useful practical guide to choosing a techniquefor measuring NO from plant materials, the book continues with chapters on chemiluminescence,diaminofluorescence (DAF), EPR spectroscopy, a laser-based method, as well asmany other topics. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductionsto their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents,step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory methods, and tips on troubleshootingand avoiding known pitfalls.

Practical and authoritative, PlantNitric Oxide: Methods and Protocolsserves as a valuable guide to allresearchers working and intending to work in the field of plant nitric oxideresearch.

This volume covers a wide range of methods to measure cellular respiration and internal oxygen in various tissues under different conditions. Chapters guide readers through informative experimental approaches, calorespirometry, isotope fractionation techniques, protocols for dual-inlet isotope ratio mass spectrometry, laser-capture microdissection, and bioinformatics approach for exploring the co-regulation of AOX gene family members. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and practical, Plant Respiration and Internal Oxygen: Methods and Protocols aims to be helpful for all students and researchers interested in the determination of respiration and internal oxygen. 

This volume explores several different aspects of nitrogen metabolism, ranging from nitrogen uptake to assimilation. The chapters in this book cover topics such as measurement of activities of enzymes involved in nitrogen metabolism (i.e., nitrate reductase); measurement of nitric oxide, nitrite and ways to detect the N content in plants and microbes; characterization of root nodule bacteria (RNB); and techniques to perform proteomics of Extracellular Matrix (ECM). Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Thorough and cutting-edge, Nitrogen Metabolism in Plants: Methods and Protocols is a valuable tool for novice and expert researchers who are interested in learning more about this evolving field.

This book reviews the current state of information on reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and their role in cell communication during plant growth, development and adaptation to stress conditions.

It addresses current research advances made in the area of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) signaling. These free radical molecules are important in plant-microbe interactions, responses to abiotic stress, stomatal regulation and a range of developmental processes. Due to their short half-life, high diffusion capability and ability to react with different components in the cell, ROS and RNS participate in various processes connected with signaling and communication in plants.

The book’s respective chapters address the latest advances made in the niche area of ROS and RNS in plants. It offers a valuable guide for researchers and students alike, providing insights into cutting-edge free radical research. The information on specialized topics presented is also highly relevant for applied fields such as food security, agricultural practices and medicinal use of plants.
