Heavy Metal Stress Resilience in Plants: Phytohormones and Nanomaterials Interactions provides comprehensive coverage of recent advancements about heavy metals (HMs) transport and stress, phytoremediation mechanisms, and how phytohormones and nanomaterials effectively mitigate the HMs stress in plants. It addresses the consequences of HM to plants, and presents the various approaches to mitigating those consequences. As the environment is increasingly impacted by human input, both intentionally and unintentionally, plant life of all kinds faces increasing challenges to achieving optimal health and production. This book highlights the responsive changes that have increased the genetic diversity of plants and how those changes affect HMs transport in plants. Other key features of the book are coverage of metal toxicity and detoxification mechanism, biochemical tools toward HMs remediation processes, molecular mechanism for HMs detoxification, and role of ROS metabolism in alleviation of HMs. Edited and authored by leading experts from around the world, the book covers the core aspects of plant physio-biochemical and molecular responses into heavy metals stress. Phytohormones and nanomaterials as well as innovative strategies for augmenting plant growth, development and productivity/quality through intrinsic and extrinsic manipulations are included.Provides extensive and state-of-the-art insights into HM stress and remediation approachesAddresses and analyzes the implications of plant-HMs, plants-HMs-phytohormones and plants-HMs-nanomaterials interaction on the sustainability of different plant speciesIncludes mechanistic and molecular approaches and insightsPresents updated information on plant development, anatomical & cell organelles changes, physiology, molecular and breeding approaches

The range of nanomaterial applications has expanded recently from catalysis, electronics, and filtration to therapeutics, diagnostics, agriculture, and food because of unique properties and potentials of different nanoparticles and nanomaterials. Research shows that these exquisite particles can interact with an organism at the cellular, physiological, biochemical, and molecular levels. However, our knowledge of how they affect these changes, selectively or generally, in diverse organism or ecosystems is very limited and far from satisfactory. Data indicate that the biological function largely depends on the shape, size, and surface characteristics of the nanoparticles used besides life cycle stages of an organism. Therefore, this compilation will focus on the body of work carried out by distinguished investigators using diverse nanomaterials and plant and animal species. This book includes specific case studies as well as general review articles highlighting aspects of multilayered interactions, and targets not only research and academic scholars but also the concerned industry and policy makers as well.
