As different groups of biostimulants display different bioactivity and specificity, advances in biostimulant research is illustrated by different examples of biostimulants, such as humic substance, seaweed extracts, and substances with hormone-like activities. The book also reports on methods used to screen for new biostimulant compounds by exploring natural sources.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCombining the expertise of internationally-renowned scientists and entrepreneurs in the area of biostimulants and biofertilisers, \u003ci\u003eThe Chemical Biology of Plant Biostimulants\u003c\/i\u003e offers in-depth chapters that look at: agricultural functions and action mechanisms of plant biostimulants (PBs); plant biostimulants from seaweed; seaweed carbohydrates; and the possible role for electron shuttling capacity in elicitation of PB activity of humic substances on plant growth enhancement. The subject of auxins is covered next, followed closely by a chapter on plant biostimulants in vermicomposts. Other topics include: exploring natural resources for biostimulants; the impact of biostimulants on whole plant and cellular levels; the impact of PBs on molecular level; and the use of use of plant metabolites to mitigate stress effects in crops.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides an insightful introduction to the subject of biostimulants\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses biostimulant modes of actions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers microbial biostimulatory activities and biostimulant application strategies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers unique and varied perspectives on the subject by a team of international contributors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures summaries of publications on biostimulants and biostimulant activity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Chemical Biology of Plant Biostimulants\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to a wide range of readers, including scientists and agricultural practitioners looking for more knowledge about the development and application of biostimulants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Danny Geelen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1119357195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781119357193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Danny Geelen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47200106381567,"sku":"9781119357193","price":151.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-chemical-biology-of-plant-danny-geelen-9781119357193","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
