商品描述

This book describes the exciting biology and chemistry of strigolactones. Outgrowth of shoot branches? Development of lateral roots? Interactions with beneficial microorganisms? Avoiding parasitic plants? Responding to drought conditions? These important "decisions" that plants make are all regulated by a group of hormones called strigolactones.
The latest research has yielded a number of new biological concepts, such as a redefinition of plant hormones and their crosstalk, new functional diversity of receptors, hormonal "smoke and mirrors," core signaling pathways, and even phloem transport of receptor proteins. Another important aspect of strigolactones is the related synthetic chemistry, which could pave the way for a variety of potential applications in agriculture and medicine.
The book explains in detail the role that strigolactones play in plant development, and addresses the interaction of plants with soil biota and abiotic stress conditions, prospects of strigolactone biochemistry and evolution, and chemical synthesis of natural strigolactones and analogs, together with their potential applications. Including a glossary and end-of-chapter synopses to aid in comprehension, it offers a valuable asset for teachers, lecturers and (post-) graduate students in biology, agronomy and related areas..

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書描述了斯特里戈烯(strigolactones)令人興奮的生物學和化學。植物的枝條生長?側根的發展?與有益微生物的互動?避免寄生植物?應對乾旱條件?這些植物所做的重要「決策」都由一組稱為斯特里戈烯的激素調控。

最新的研究產生了一些新的生物學概念,例如對植物激素及其交互作用的重新定義、受體的新功能多樣性、激素的「煙霧與鏡子」、核心信號通路,甚至是受體蛋白的韌皮部運輸。斯特里戈烯的另一個重要方面是相關的合成化學,這可能為農業和醫學中的各種潛在應用鋪平道路。

本書詳細解釋了斯特里戈烯在植物發展中的角色,並探討了植物與土壤生物群落及非生物壓力條件的互動、斯特里戈烯生物化學和演化的前景,以及天然斯特里戈烯和類似物的化學合成及其潛在應用。書中包括詞彙表和每章的摘要,以幫助理解,對於生物學、農學及相關領域的教師、講師和(研究)生學生來說,都是一個寶貴的資源。

作者簡介


Prof. Hinanit Koltai has been a Senior Research Scientist at the Agricultural Research Organization, Volcani Center, Rishon LeZion, Israel, since 2001. She is a member of the International Parasitic Plant Society, and serves on the Editorial Boards of several international scientific journals. In addition, Prof. Koltai is the author of more than 80 peer-reviewed publications, including more than 30 book chapters.
Prof. Cristina Prandi is a Full Professor of Organic Chemistry at the University of Torino, where she also serves as Deputy Director for Research. Her main interests are in organometallic chemistry, gold catalysis and target oriented synthesis. She has conducted research on the synthesis of bioactive phytohormone analogues, focusing on SAR (Structure Activity Relationship) studies and the design of active derivatives. Recently, she has also investigated the use of plant metabolite analogues for their potential anticancer benefits. She is the author of more than 100 scientific publications and holds three patents.
Prof. C. Prandi and H. Koltai chaired a COST ACTION exclusively dedicated to strigolactones (FA1206 2012-2017, Strigolactones, biological roles and applications).
