Descripción
Exploring Plant Peptide Potentials offers an in-depth overview of the latest research on these functional molecules, emphasizing their diverse biological roles and growing relevance across disciplines. The book brings together insights into their discovery, mechanisms, and applications to deepen understanding and inspire future research.
Plant peptides are key regulators of growth, development, defense, and stress responses, and they show considerable promise in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and herbal medicine applications. The volume spans topics from peptide identification and imaging to signaling pathways, molecular interactions, and bioinformatics approaches. It also covers both conventional and advanced tools in peptide science, including post-translational modifications, peptide mimicry, and innovations in nanotechnology and biotechnology.
Exploring Plant Peptide Potentials is a valuable resource for researchers and professionals in plant biochemistry, physiology, molecular biology, and biotechnology, as well as those developing plant-derived health and therapeutic products.
