Tab Article

The present book provides college students, teachers, researchers, plant breeders, farmers and other readers interested in plant physiology with a detailed overview of the different plant phytohormones including biosynthetic pathways, signaling cascades and regulation of plant development, growth and metabolism. It also reviews the current knowledge on the main plant growth regulators: ABA, auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, ethylene, brassinosteroids, jasmonic acid, nitric oxide, salicylic acid and strigolactones.

Tab Article

Carlos Tello (Valencia, Spain, 1981) studied Agricultural Engineering with specialization in Biotechnology at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, where he graduated with a BSc thesis on the characterization of an Arabidopsis mutant with increased tolerance to seed ageing and salt stress. He moved afterwards to Sevilla to complete his MSc and PhD at the Instituto de Recursos Naturales y Agrobiología, where he studied the mechanisms employed by plants in their adaptation to abiotic stress and more specifically the role of the Arabidopsis Na+/H+ antiporter SOS1 in the regulation of Na+ and K+ homeostasis. Since 2014, he is based in Zürich and develops several freelance science-related jobs. He has recently retrained himself in the field of cell culture in bioreactors by attending an advanced training course at the Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften.
