Environmental, Physiological and Chemical Controls of Adventitious Rooting in Cuttings provides a review of the environmental, physiological and chemical controls of adventitious rooting in cuttings obtained from plants. In plants, adventitious roots, which are highly useful for vegetative propagation (or clonal propagation) are produced mainly from leaves, hypocotyls, stems or shoots. Vegetative propagation may occur naturally by using propagules such as roots, underground and aerial stems, leaves, buds and bulbils. It may also be done artificially through regenerative organs (rhizomes, bulbs, and corms) and by utilizing specialized methods, like cutting, grafting and layering. This book covers the latest tactics surrounding these processes.
As a plethora of factors affect the adventitious rooting of cuttings, adding to the complexity of the phenomenon. The main factors which control adventitious root formation are types of cuttings, presence of leaf area on cuttings, types of hormones and their concentration, duration of hormonal treatment (quick dip, long soak, dry dip, spray dip, or total immerse method), maturation (juvenile or mature), genotype, explant position, and more, all of which are discussed here.
Provides a comprehensive and exclusive book on the environmental, physiological and chemical factors associated with adventitious root formation in cutting, with up-to-date literature and lucid illustrations Presents a multidimensional approach and a broad range of explanation on adventitious root formation associated with mature and juvenile cutting Discusses a number of molecular, histological and physiological markers associated with adventitious root formation in numerous plant species Elaborates on how external and internal factors control the cell/tissue initiation, differentiation and overall adventitious root formation in cuttingEngineered Nanomaterials for Sustainable Agricultural Production, Soil Improvement and Stress Management

Plant hormones (auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, abscisic acid, jasmonates, brassinosteroids, salicylic acid, strigolactones etc.) regulate numerous aspects of plant growth and developmental processes. Each hormone initiates a specific molecular pathway, with each pathway integrated in a complex network of synergistic, antagonistic and additive interactions. This is a valuable reference for those seeking to understand and improve plant health using natural processes.

Radiation Spectrum and Plant Metabolism brings together advances in photobiology, biophysics, and metabolite chemistry to illuminate how light shapes plant structure, function, and ecological performance. The volume follows the pathways through which radiation interacts with plant systems, offering an integrated perspective that links subcellular processes to whole-plant behavior and ecosystem dynamics.Covering the full breadth of plant-light relationships, the book examines the optical properties of leaf tissues, the coordination of photoreceptors and pigments, and the metabolic networks through which plants interpret spectral cues. It outlines how shifts in light quality influence development, stress responses, and the production of secondary metabolites, providing a mechanistic foundation for understanding plant adaptability under both natural and controlled environments.As climate change alters terrestrial and cosmic radiation patterns, a comprehensive view of plant responses has become increasingly critical. This reference resource synthesizes emerging insights into changing spectral regimes, their biochemical and physiological consequences, and the broader implications for plant fitness, crop resilience, and phyllosphere interactions. Later chapters connect these concepts to applied practice, highlighting innovations in horticultural lighting technologies and the measurement techniques that support precision light management.Designed for researchers and advanced practitioners across the plant sciences, this volume offers a rigorous framework for interpreting how variable radiation environments shape biological systems and the metabolic processes that sustain them.
Opens with fundamentals and advances to specialized topics-including spectral reflectance, ionizing radiation stress contexts, and coordinated metabolic regulation-to provide a stepwise understanding of increasingly complex interactions.Details how leaf structural traits modulate radiation capture and spectral filtering, linking physical attributes to downstream biochemical pathways rarely consolidated in a single reference source.Synthesizes wavelength-specific signaling, enabling readers to distinguish how different regions of the spectrum drive discrete physiological and developmental responses.1 410 kr
