Epigenetic Regulations in Plants: Mechanisms, Plant Development and Stress Responses
暫譯: 植物中的表觀遺傳調控：機制、植物發育與壓力反應

這本書詳細概述了表觀遺傳調控的重要性，作為植物基因表達調控的主要機制。它強調了表觀遺傳機制在植物整體生理中的作用，以及這些機制如何通過賦予植物對非生物和生物壓力的耐受性和抗性來改善品質特徵。

本書分為四個不同的部分，首先介紹主題並對不同的表觀遺傳標記進行一般性討論。接下來的章節討論了模型植物（包括Arabidopsis、水稻和穀物作物）中的表觀遺傳反應，以及表觀遺傳學在控制生理過程和保護植物免受各種壓力形式中的作用。本書向讀者介紹了表觀遺傳學的應用，為他們提供了一個清晰的路線圖，以進行植物物種的質量和數量改進，以提高生產力和表現。這可以通過更好地理解表觀遺傳機制的不同組成部分和調控相關基因表達的轉錄因子對染色質可及性的影響來實現。

這是一本對於從事植物生理學、分子生物學和生物技術等領域的研究人員和科學家來說必讀的書籍，還包括生物化學、農業科學和植物學等相關學科。它對於處理表觀遺傳學及其應用以改善植物生長、發展和品質，以及克服不同壓力的大学图书馆和研究机构具有重要價值。

(Hons.) in Botany from Presidency College, Kolkata, and M.Sc. in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, University of Calcutta, West Bengal, India. He pursued his doctoral research at Bose Institute, Kolkata and earned his Ph.D. from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, in the area of stress biology in plants. Following his Ph.D. work, he joined the University of Calcutta as a Research Associate (post-doctorate), pursuing translational research on transgenic rice. He is presently involved in active research in the field of abiotic stress responses in plants with perspectives to the physiology, molecular biology, and cell signalling under diverse stress conditions. He has 25 years of research experience in the concerned discipline. He has handled several government-funded projects as prin-cipal investigator and supervised five Ph.D. students as principal investigator. Prof. Roychoudhury has published over 290 articles in peer-reviewed journals and chapters in books of international and national repute. He has already edited 16 books with publishers like Wiley, Elsevier, Springer, Taylor & Francis Group, and Nova, and has also handled special issues as Guest Editor for several renowned inter-national journals. He is a regular reviewer of articles in high-impact, international journals, editorial board member of several journals and Life Member of different scientific associations and societies. He is the recipient of the Young Scientist Award 2019, conferred upon him by International Foundation for Environment and Ecology, at the University of Allahabad, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. He also received the recipient of Distinguished Scientist Award - 2024 conferred upon him recently by the Institute of Ecotoxicology and Environmental Sciences, India. His name is included in the Stanford University's List of World's Top 2% most influential scientists.
