Interplay of Protein Phosphatases with Cytoskeleton Signaling in Response to Stress Factors in Plants
Plant stress implies a series of processes and states where growth and development conditions are extremely different from optimal ones. Numerous data indicate that plant response to stress is strongly associated with changes in protein phosphorylation st

Preface
The famous Sun temple of Konark in India represents the chariot of the Sun God (Surya) that is pulled by seven horses. This beautiful structure carved out of stone is a good example of management where the seven horses must be controlled for the proper movement of the chariot. The charioteer controls the movement of the chariot through a “leash” that is tied to each of the horses. Nature too has its own set of controls that act as leashes to modulate the nuances of cellular functions. This book is dedicated to the understanding of one such group of controls in plants, which function as highly effective components of the signal transduction mechanism. In today’s scenario, human health, food security, natural resources like water, air, and soil (pollution as well as conservation) are the pertinent issues affecting mankind. Though food security is a major challenge at all levels, it is particularly important for the plant biologists, especially in the context of climate change and scarcity of arable land. Environmental stresses (both abiotic and biotic) and extensive anthropogenic activities have contributed significantly to the drastic decline
