Plant Hormone Signaling (Annual Plant Reviews)
Manufacturer: Blackwell Publishing Limited ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 1405138874 |
Book Description
Plant growth is regulated by developmental programmes that can be modified by environmental cues acting through endogenous signaling molecules including plant hormones.This volume provides an overview of the biosynthesis, catabolism, perception and signal transduction of the individual hormone classes, followed by chapters on hormone distribution and transport, and the roles of hormone signaling in specific developmental processes. Particular attention is paid to the regulation of hormone signaling by environmental and developmental cues, sites of hormone metabolism and action, and interactions between hormone signaling pathways. The book is directed at researchers and professionals in plant biochemistry and molecular biology.

Hormone Signaling (Endocrine Updates, Volume 17) (Endocrine Updates)
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0792376609 |
Book Description
Multicellular organisms require a means of intracellular communication to organize and develop the complex body plan that occurs during embryogenesis and then for cell and organ systems to access and respond to an ever changing environmental milieu. Mediators of this constant exchange of information are growth factors, neurotransmmitters, peptide and protein hormones which bind to cell surface receptors and transduce their signals from the extracellular space to the intracellular compartment. Via multiple signaling pathways, receptors of this general class affect growth, development and differentiation. Smaller hydrophobic signaling molecules, such as steroids and non-steroid hormones, vitamins and metabolic mediators interact with a large family of nuclear receptors. These receptors function as transcription factors affecting gene expression, to regulate the multiple aspects of animal and human physiology, including development, reproduction and homeostasis.

Mind over Matter - Regulation of Peripheral Inflammation by the CNS (Progress in Inflammation Research)
Manufacturer: Birkhäuser Basel ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3764369183 |
Book Description
Several new developments in the field of neuroimmunology with focus on the brain-to-immune system communication have been the incentive for this PIR volume. It covers topics such as brain-immune interactions, the impact of stress on the immune response, pain and immunosuppression, the modulation of inflammation and pain by the sympathetic nervous system, consequences of nerve injury for the immune system, neuronal mechanisms of immune cell recruitment, and the modulation of the immune response by corticotropin-releasing hormone or adenosine. The authors are a unique group of scientists who are all interested in brain-to-immune interactions; however, each from a different perspective. The volume will serve both neurobiologists and immunologists to understand the influence of the central nervous system on peripheral inflammation. Many aspects of this book will also be stimulating for researchers in the pain field.

Signaling Mechanisms in Protozoa and Invertebrates (Progress in Molecular and Subcellular Biology)
Manufacturer: Springer-Verlag Telos ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 354060796X |
Book Description
The striking similarities between elements of the mammalian endocrine systems and those of protozoans and invertebrates mean that research which is more easily carried out on simpler organisms has considerable significance for the study of endocrinology in higher organisms. Starting with the presence of hormones and development and function of receptors in protozoa, through the second messenger systems, GPI-expression, signal recognition and pheromone function, the authors demonstrate the universality of basic endocrine mechanisms of the living world, as well as the specialities at lower phylogenetic levels. This book is useful not only for physiologists and endocrinologists, protozoologists and invertebrate zoologists, but also for biologists interested in the study or wonder of evolution.

Hormonal Signaling and Postembryonic Development (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit)
J. R. Tata Manufacturer: R G Landes Co ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1570595127 |
Book Description
This monograph combines two very active research areas: that of cell signaling with that of the postembryonic development of organisms into their adult phenotype. The first part concentrates on hormone actions, signal transduction and the hormone regulation of transcription, whereas the second part discusses postembryonic development as a function of hormone signaling. Over 10,000 original research articles, reviews, and conference papers were screened for this book.
