Defense-Related Proteins in Plants

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateur : Upadhyay Santosh Kumar

Couverture de l’ouvrage Defense-Related Proteins in Plants

Defense-related Proteins in Plants presents detailed information on these important mechanisms in plants, including their identification, characterization, mechanism of action, and application in crop improvement programs in a single, cohesive, and comprehensive volume. The foundational information included enables understanding of these proteins and their application in crop improvement programs. The book is a complete guide about defense-related proteins in plants for various categories of readers that will inspire future research into the unexplored areas of molecular aspects of these proteins to understand their role and action mechanism in plants and living organisms as a whole. Defense-related proteins have drawn the attention of various plant and agricultural scientists and industries because they provide generalized direct stress tolerance in crop plants. These proteins including lectins, chitinases, thaumatin, and osmotin, among others, have been used for the development of transgenic plants to provide protection against various abiotic and biotic stresses. While there is a breadth of research and application information available, it has not, until now, been compiled into a single volume for ease of comparison and translational work.

2. Origin, classification and evolutionary history of defense-related proteins in plants
3. Pathogenesis-related proteins and plant defense-response
4. Role of thaumatin-like proteins in plants
5. Plants chitinases: Role in biotic stress response
6. Structural and functional diversity of plant lectins
7. Plant protease inhibitors; biological roles and applications in plant stress tolerance
8. Osmotin in stress response and signaling in plants
9. Defensins in plants: Diversity and role in plant defense
10. NBS-LRRs: Role in defense signaling
11. Structural and functional significance of RLKs and RLCKs in plant defense response
12. Role of Heat shock proteins in abiotic and biotic stress response in plants
13. Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins: Role in development and defense response in plants
14. Insight into the role of Extensins in plant defense response
15. Pectin Methylesterase (PME) and PME Inhibitors (PMEIs): Exploration of their role in stress response in plants
16. Role of Thionins in biotic stress tolerance in plants
17. Functional divergence in Plant Cyclotides and their role in plant defense
18. Enzymatic antioxidants in stress response and signaling in plants
19. Role of calcium-binding proteins in defense signaling in plants
20. Application of defense-related proteins in crop improvement strategies: A future perspective
Dr. Upadhyay is currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Botany, Panjab University, Chandigarh, India. He has been working in the field of Plant Biotechnology for more than 16 years. He is currently working in functional genomics. His research group at PU has characterized numerous important defence-related protein families such as receptor-like kinases, antioxidant enzymes, calcium transporters, chitinases, lectins, etc. They are also characterizing long non-coding RNAs related to the abiotic and biotic stress response. He has authored more than 130 publications including research papers in leading journals of international repute, national and international patents, book chapters and books. He has been awarded the NAAS Young scientist award (2017-18) and NAAS-Associate (2018) from the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, India, INSA Medal for Young Scientist (2013) from the Indian National Science Academy, India, NASI- Young Scientist Platinum Jubilee Award (2012) from the National Academy of Sciences, India, and Altech Young Scientist Award (2011).
