This contributed volume aims at compiling multifaceted functions of plant hormones in plants under heavy metal stress. The main focus of this book is to address the recent developments in the arena of hormone mediated heavy metal stress tolerance.Plants are continuously challenged by abiotic stressors like heavy metals, which have negative impacts on growth and development. Hormonal stimulation via exogenous cues and endogenous signals can help plants to better withstand heavy meta...

Nanomaterials in Plants, Algae and Microorganisms: Concepts and Controversies: Volume One discusses the vast amount of nanomaterials that have been released into the environment in a relatively short amount of time. There is a need to understand what the implications to the health of our biota and ecosystems are as the earth is increasingly inundated with these materials. Not all of the effects are negative, but their impacts are increasing exponentially due to their size, quantity and oth...

Nanomaterials in Plants, Algae and Microorganisms: Concepts and Controversies: Volume 2 not only covers all the new technologies used in the synthesis of nanoparticles, it also tests their response on plants, algae and micro-organisms in aquatic ecosystems. Unlike most works in the field, the book doesn't focus exclusively on the higher organisms. Instead, it explores the smaller life forms on which they feed. Topics include the impacts of plant development, how different nanoparticles are...
