Rapid change in environmental conditions is likely to override the adaptive efficiency of plants.Jasmonates are a class of plant hormones that have strong potential to ameliorate various abiotic and biotic stresses, such as exposure to mechanical stress, osmotic stress, herbivory, exposure to UV irradiation, damage from ozone, and heavy metal stress. This new book highlights the beneficial presence and roles of jasmonates in plants, discussing the use of jasmonates in nano- and micromolecular concentrations to mitigate the toxic effects of various biotic and abiotic stresses and to improve crop yield in an eco-friendly and sustainable manner. It discusses in detail the genetic basis of jasmonates’ action, effects of jasmonates on the antioxidant defense system, crosstalk between jasmonates and other plant hormones, how jasmonates enhance plant defense under biotic and abiotic stresses, and more.

"This book well describes how organizations need to manage their resources and goals in turbulent times. . . . Marketers need to recognize the role of limited resources, high environmental costs, and the growing warming of our planet. Marketers need to modernize their procedures for pricing, distribution, branding, and product creation. The purpose of the marketing team is to achieve good profits within a strong policy and practice of sustainability. Companies must adopt the mantra of "reduce, reuse, and recycle" in developing their products, services. and marketing plans. We need to advance green marketing as a core task. Support for a healthy planet should be part of your regular brand messaging." —From the Foreword by Professor Philip Kotler, S.C. Johnson & Son Distinguished Professor of International Marketing (emeritus), Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University
