Melatonin: Role in Plant Signaling, Growth and Stress Tolerance: Phytomelatonin in Normal and Challenging Environments

Assistant Professor Dr. Soumya Mukherjee is a faculty member in the Department of Botany, Jangipur College, University of Kalyani, India. His research interest lies in deciphering the role of melatonin and associated signaling molecules in regulating the salt-stress physiology of plants. He has worked as a CSIR- research fellow in the area of abiotic stress physiology of plants. He has published both research and review articles in various peer-reviewed journals (according to Scopus database with H-index 17). He has also published four edited volumes in Plant signaling, and communication (springer), Rhizobiology (springer), Crop sustainability and IPR, (Apple academic press-CRC) and Strigolactone, Alkamide and Karrikins (CRC press). He is serving as an associate editor in the editorial board of Plant Signaling and Behaviour, Taylor and Francis. He has also authored an e-learning module in Plant Physiology and Biochemistry publishedas an effort of National Mission on Education through ICT, MHRD Project undertaken by University of Delhi, India.

Prof. Francisco J. Corpas is a Research Professor of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) who has more than 30 years of research experience in the metabolism of Reactive Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Sulfur Species (ROS, RNS, and RSS, respectively) in higher plants under physiology and environmental stress conditions using either the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana as well as plants of agricultural interest. Special interests are the implications of these reactive species in fruit ripening and the nitro-oxidative metabolism of plant peroxisome. He was the Head of the Department of Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology of Plants (2014-2018) at the Research Institute named "Estación Experimental del Zaidín"-CSIC, Granada Spain. He already published more than 285 refereed research papers/review articles in peer-reviewed journals (according to the Scopus database with h-index: 78) and edited twelve books

助理教授 Soumya Mukherjee 博士是印度卡利亞尼大學 Jangipur 學院植物學系的教職員。他的研究興趣在於解讀褪黑激素及相關信號分子在調節植物鹽胁迫生理中的角色。他曾擔任 CSIR 研究員，專注於植物的非生物胁迫生理。他在各種同行評審期刊上發表了多篇研究和綜述文章（根據 Scopus 數據庫，H-index 為 17）。他還編輯出版了四本專著，分別是《Plant Signaling and Communication》（Springer）、《Rhizobiology》（Springer）、《Crop Sustainability and IPR》（Apple Academic Press-CRC）以及《Strigolactone, Alkamide and Karrikins》（CRC Press）。他目前擔任《Plant Signaling and Behaviour》期刊的副編輯。他還撰寫了一個植物生理學和生物化學的電子學習模組，該模組是印度德里大學在 MHRD 項目下，透過 ICT 的國家教育任務的一部分。

Francisco J. Corpas 教授是西班牙國家研究委員會（CSIC）的研究教授，擁有超過 30 年的研究經驗，專注於高等植物在生理和環境胁迫條件下的反應性氧、氮和硫物種（分別為 ROS、RNS 和 RSS）的代謝。他的特別興趣在於這些反應性物種在果實成熟及植物過氧化物酶體的氮氧化代謝中的影響。他曾擔任西班牙格拉納達的「Estación Experimental del Zaidín」-CSIC 植物生物化學、細胞與分子生物學系主任（2014-2018）。他已在同行評審期刊上發表了超過 285 篇經過審核的研究論文/綜述文章（根據 Scopus 數據庫，H-index 為 78），並編輯了十二本書籍。
