Ethylene Action in Plants

Description
In Ethylene Action in Plants, classic and emerging roles of ethylene in
plant developmental processes are integrated through recent advances characterizing
ethylene receptors, promoters and antagonists, and biological and
environmental factors that mediate ethylene responses. The book’s editor,
Dr. Nafees Khan, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India, an expert on
ethylene with an impressive number of publications on the interactions
between ethylene, photosynthesis, and growth of Brassica spp, brought
together a highly qualified group of international experts to provide state-ofthe-
art information. To simply list the topics included does not do justice to
the book’s contents, as the articles are not just a compilation of the literature
relevant to the topic. The authors have synthesized traditional ethylene
research with recent novel discoveries to provide both the means for understanding
what have previously been considered conflicting results and
answers to previously unanswered questions. The book is designed to provide
the reader with the details of major strides in ethylene research, including
introduction to new areas of research. I offer the following as a brief
glimpse into the pages of Ethylene Action in Plants
