Plant Stress Memory

Methods and Protocols

This detailed volume explores methods and protocols employed to investigate the multifaceted processes involved in plant stress memory. Opening with foundational methods for studying thermomemory in Arabidopsis thaliana, the book continues with techniques for studying memory mechanisms in other plant species, memory of biotic stressors, and the critical role of signaling molecules, such as jasmonic acid and salicylic acid. A key focus of this book is the investigation of DNA methylation and other epigenetic modifications that play a central role in the transmission of stress memory across generations, and epigenetic and transcriptomic approaches plus cutting-edge techniques such as RNA-Seq, CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing, and proteomic analyses are included. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips for troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and practical, Plant Stress Memory: Methods and Protocols serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, students, and practitioners working to unravel the mysteries of plant stress memory and apply this knowledge to address global challenges in agriculture and environmental sustainability.

Über den Autor

Pankaj Kumar is presently working as Assistant Professor (Biotechnology), Department of Biotechnology, Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, India. With more than nine years of specialized expertise in Medicinal plant biotechnology, Dr. Kumar has significantly contributed to understanding high altitude adaptation of medicinal plants, and secondary metabolite production through advanced cell and tissue engineering techniques. His research delves into the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolite production, utilizing cutting-edge comparative transcriptomics and metabolomics approaches. Additionally, Dr. Kumar has pioneered work in the hydro-aero cultivation of medicinal plants, focusing on their industrial applications. Dr. Kumar's academic credentials are further bolstered by his post-doctoral research at prestigious institutions such as the National Institute of Plant Genome Research and the Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology. He is a prolific author with over 70 research and review papers, 25 book chapters, and five notable books, including "Agricultural Biotechnology- Latest Research and Trends" (Springer) and "Ornamental Horticulture: Latest Cultivation Practices and Breeding" (Springer). His innovative contributions have led to the filing of three Indian patents, and he has been honored with numerous awards, such as the Young Scientists Fellowship Award-2021 by ICMR and the Scientist's Pool Scheme Award-2020 by CSIR.

Ashish R. Warghat is currently working as Senior Scientist at CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology, Palampur. He did his Ph.D. in Biotechnology from Defence Institute of High-Altitude Research (DIHAR), Defence Research and Development Organization, Leh-Ladakh. His research interests are particularly on High Altitude Himalayan Medicinal Plants with the intervention in the field of Aeroponic and Hydroponic farming for metabolite-enriched plant biomass production and understanding of the mechanism of nutrients towards growth and development. He has published more than 45 research papers in high reputed international journals. He has developed 10 most significant technologies in the field of smart agriculture and transferred it to the industries. He has also contributed significantly in the area of start-ups and entrepreneurs’ generation and skill development activities and total of 12 incubatee were benefitted significantly. Currently, he is an associate editor in BMC Biology and BMC Biotechnology Journals.
