It is said that if you were in Delhi University in the eighties and remember it, you weren't there. Our hero was very much there, and what he remembers has filled a book. Follow Boy in this delightfully funny coming-of-age tale as he outwits homework, wrestles with hormones, navigates bullies, gets "high"er education, learns the vertical expression of horizontal intentions (otherwise known as dance), barely manages to get employed and finally gets hitched. Somewhere along the way, he discovers what it means to be a "grown up."

The new edited volume on phytomelatonin and its diverse roles in plants under a challenging environment shall be an important reference book with updated information and future perspectives on the involvement of this biomolecule in stress resilience in plants. Investigations on different aspects of melatonin in plants have undergone a prolific surge in the last decade. In view of such a considerable volume of investigations in melatonin, the proposed new volume will collate its role in different aspects of plants signaling, growth and metabolism. In this context, it has been important to understand its function as a stress priming molecule that executes associative synergistic relation with various other plant growth regulators (viz. nitric oxide, hydrogen sulfide, inorganic ions, and enzymes). Thus, crop management under diverse stressful environments can be better achieved by elucidating our current understanding of the role of melatonin and its interplay with various plant metabolites. The book shall provide a collation of recent advancements in genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic approaches to decipher the molecular mechanisms of melatonin signaling and its agronomic importance in plants.
