Defense-related Proteins in Plants presents detailed information on these important mechanisms in plants, including their identification, characterization, mechanism of action, and application in crop improvement programs in a single, cohesive, and comprehensive volume. The foundational information included enables understanding of these proteins and their application in crop improvement programs. The book is a complete guide about defense-related proteins in plants for various categories of readers that will inspire future research into the unexplored areas of molecular aspects of these proteins to understand their role and action mechanism in plants and living organisms as a whole.

Defense-related proteins have drawn the attention of various plant and agricultural scientists and industries because they provide generalized direct stress tolerance in crop plants. These proteins including lectins, chitinases, thaumatin, and osmotin, among others, have been used for the development of transgenic plants to provide protection against various abiotic and biotic stresses. While there is a breadth of research and application information available, it has not, until now, been compiled into a single volume for ease of comparison and translational work.

Dr. Upadhyay is currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Botany, Panjab University, Chandigarh, India. He has been working in the field of Plant Biotechnology for more than 16 years. He is currently working in functional genomics. His research group at PU has characterized numerous important defence-related protein families such as receptor-like kinases, antioxidant enzymes, calcium transporters, chitinases, lectins, etc. They are also characterizing long non-coding RNAs related to the abiotic and biotic stress response. He has authored more than 130 publications including research papers in leading journals of international repute, national and international patents, book chapters and books. He has been awarded the NAAS Young scientist award (2017-18) and NAAS-Associate (2018) from the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences, India, INSA Medal for Young Scientist (2013) from the Indian National Science Academy, India, NASI- Young Scientist Platinum Jubilee Award (2012) from the National Academy of Sciences, India, and Altech Young Scientist Award (2011).
