- W2032202211 abstract "This book provides detailed coverage of a wide range of aspects of signalling and emphasizes the critical importance of such signalling to plants, which as sessile organisms are at the mercy of their biotic and abiotic environment. The book provides insight into how plants can respond and overcome such challenges. The dynamism of plant signalling pathways are clearly demonstrated, for example in cell wall composition, in which mutants are described that result in different wall compositions and relative amounts of wall components can be altered, indicating a sensing-and-response network to this pathway. The book breaks plant cells down into their varying components and provides individual chapters describing how different aspects of the cell relate to whole-plant physiology. This provides the reader with the opportunity to focus on specific aspects of signalling, or to get to grips with various aspects in manageable pieces. Given that the book fragments the different signalling mechanisms into ‘bite-sized pieces’ it also achieves good integration of these pieces. The authors link very well between the different chapters with citations of relevant sections from other chapters covering related topics. This makes following links between different responses and stimuli easier.Chapters are included that provide detailed analysis of specific signalling molecules, with particular focus paid to auxin and calcium, and they also cover situations where perception of changing environments are critical, such as tropic responses and stress responses. The fundamental role of auxin is described in a number of chapters. This is particularly evident in the chapter focusing on the specific role of auxin signalling, for example the role of auxin associated with modifications to the cell wall and gravitropism. The book provides a valuable perspective to the dynamic nature of plants. It clearly demonstrates the complexity of the response networks and shows how plants are able to respond to the changing environments they face, both on a daily and seasonal basis, but also under conditions of stress, including pathogen attack, oxygen deprivation and also in symbiotic associations, such as with rhizobial bacteria.The book also provides a good perspective on how different aspects of cells interact with each other, and the dynamism of the actin cytoskeleton in accommodating growth and development is an excellent example of this. This chapter illustrates how the actin cytoskeleton serves as a signalling hub that regulates numerous activities, such as subcellular compartmentation, organelle and vesicle mobility and structural reinforcement.The book provides an excellent historical perspective to signalling in plants; this is put into context with recent developments and the use of molecular genetic analysis to confirm hypotheses that were made by physiological observations. In addition, most of the chapters also discuss recent developments and provide observations on where the key targets for future research currently are. This provides the reader with a focused outlook on how the fields are developing and what are the major questions that can be addressed with the new post-genomics tools.The illustrations are of high quality; although some chapters have only a limited number of figures and pathways included, these provide valuable information and aid the reader in understanding the complex interactions and pathways that are being discussed.Overall this volume provides a very focused discussion of key topics of plant signalling and provides the reader with good opportunities to follow the specific areas in more detail. It will serve as an excellent resource for advanced graduate students and post-graduates who wish to obtain a detailed insight into plant cell signalling." @default.
