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,
