Glutamate: Physiological Roles and Its Signaling in Plants
Glutamate (Glu) is a protein amino acid and a well-known neurotransmitter in human body, but little is known about the role of glutamate in plants. Recent investigations suggest that Glu has been found to play important roles, such as seed germination, ro

Preface
Physiological investigations across the past few decades have substantiated the fact that plants do imply the classical neurotransmitters in various signaling pathways. Plant neurotransmitters (serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, and GABA) share biochemical similarities with those in animal system in terms of their chemical nature and biochemical pathways. Plant–environment interactions associated with abiotic stress management, growth modulation, flowering, circadian rhythm, fruit ripening, and allelopathic interactions are the major aspects of investigation for plant neurotransmitters. Recent advancements in genomic,
