{"product_id":"salicylic-acid-shamsul-hayat-9781402051838","title":"Salicylic Acid: A Plant Hormone","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhytohormones are very much involved in directing plant growth, in a coordinated fashion in association with metabolism that provides energy and the building blocks to develop the form that we recognize as plant. Out of the recognized hormones, attention has largely been focused on Auxins, Gibberellins, Cytokinins, Abscisic acid, Ethylene and more recently to Brassinosteroids. However, this book provides information about a natural chemical, Salicylic Acid, that could be raised to the status of the above phytohormones because it has significant impact on various aspects of plant life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSalicylic acid (SA) was first discovered as a major component in the extracts from Salix (willow) whose bark from ancient time, was used as an anti-inflammatory drug. This acid (SA) is a phenol, ubiquitous in plants generating a significant impact on plant growth and development, photosynthesis, transpiration, ion uptake and transport and also induces specific changes in leaf anatomy and chloroplast structure. SA is recognized as an endogenous signal, mediating in plant defence, against pathogens.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book includes contributions made by various experts, spread over the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shamsul Hayat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1402051832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781402051838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.51h x 6.56w x 0.86d","brand":"Shamsul Hayat","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43925419622655,"sku":"9781402051838","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1e67b881-eeae-4841-b560-35e6c969e61d.jpg?v=1681077168","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/salicylic-acid-shamsul-hayat-9781402051838","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
