Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Plant-based edible oils rank second only to carbohydrates as an important source of calories in the human diet and are primarily derived from edible oilseeds. These oilseeds are rich in essential fatty acids, high-quality protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. They also contain important phytochemicals including sterols, polyphenols, tocopherols, and carotenoids, making the oils they produce critical for metabolic functions, human health benefits, and addressing malnutrition and undernutrition. The global cultivation of edible oilseed crops has seen a significant rise. However, various biotic and abiotic stresses, poor agronomic practices, and extreme climate conditions, either in isolation or combination, negatively affect plant health, thus limiting both the quantity and quality of oilseed productivity. Edible Oilseeds Research - Updates and Prospects provides a comprehensive exploration of the origins, botanical characteristics, challenges, and recent advancements associated with major herbaceous edible oilseed-bearing plants. It offers historical insights into edible oilseeds, highlights recent advancements and future directions, and provides an overview of the important bioactive dietary compounds (including tocopherols and tocotrienols) present in common oilseeds. This volume also discusses key approaches to improving the health and productivity of oil palm and presents critical insights into the applications and achievements of CRISPR-Cas9 technology in oilseed research. This book serves as a valuable resource for plant biologists engaged in teaching and research, offering detailed knowledge on various aspects of important edible oilseeds. …

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Human health is closely linked with the health of the soil, which is both a vital resource for feeding the burgeoning global population via agriculture and vital to realizing most of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. However, increased salinization is significantly impacting the health of soil due to excess accumulation of varied salts (e.g., toxic ions including Cl¿ of Na+, HCO3¿, Ca2+ and Mg2+, and sometimes SO42¿ and CO32¿). Unfortunately, soil salinization has already affected about 20% of total arable land and 33% of irrigated land. Soil salinization negatively affects the health and productivity of plants and crops and thus threatens agriculture and food security worldwide. Moreover, it is predicted that by 2050, 16. 2 million ha of land will be affected by salt, which is predicted to cause 30%-50% yield losses worldwide. Making Plant Life Easier and Productive Under Salinity - Updates and Prospects provides a comprehensive overview of salinity and its major impacts. Chapters discuss important approaches for making plant life easier and more productive under salinity, the scale and complexity of salinity impacts on Sri Lankan rice farming systems, salinity stress responses of major metabolites, in vitro production of terpene in plants, the major mechanisms underlying phytohormone-mediated control of salinity impacts in plants, and genomics-assisted breeding approaches for achieving salinity tolerance in cereal crops.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Phosphorus (P) stands second to nitrogen in terms of its essentiality as a plant macronutrient, as well as due to its involvement in almost all plant developmental stages, primary and secondary plant metabolisms, maintenance of membrane structures, and in the structural skeleton of major biomolecules. An optimum P-supply also helps plants combat abiotic stress impacts. Most P in soil remains unavailable for uptake by plants. P-containing fertilizers are being added to agricultural lands to sustain high yields. Only the least amount of the applied P (20%-30%) is used by most cultivated plants, and the rest remains as legacy P (P surpluses), which eventually causes eutrophication. This book, Phosphorus in Soils and Plants, reviews P in soils and plants, P dynamics in the soil-water-sediment environment, the major roles of P in the photosynthetic dark phase-biochemical pathways, major approaches for the sustainable management of P in agriculture, main mechanisms underlying the role of P in the regulation of plant-microbe interactions in the rhizosphere, literature on the role of microbial phosphate solubilization in management of soil and plant nutrients, and insights into P recovery through waste transformation. This volume is an important resource for plant biologists involved in teaching or research who wish to advance their knowledge of P in soils and plants. …

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Proteins are among the six key nutrient categories found in human foods, which are essential for good human health, reproduction, and growth. Both animal- and plant-based proteins meet the protein requirements of the human diet. Unfortunately, animal-based diets are considered unsustainable, inefficient, environmentally unfriendly, and unhealthy. In particular, the average animal-based protein requires 11 times more fossil energy, 4 to 26 times more water, and 6 to 17 times more than plant-based proteins. Mainly grown as pulses, grain legumes (a group of plants in the family Fabaceae or Leguminosae) provide food for humans and stand second to none in terms of their significance as excellent sources of dietary protein, high protein content (16-50%), balanced amino acid profiles, and affordability. Legumes play a key role in soil health, human food and nutritional security, and (agricultural and environmental) sustainability. Despite these, several constraints for legumes are significantly hampering their growth, development, productivity, and utilization. This book: (i) introduces the theme of the book and enlightened the significance of legumes in sustainably securing food, nutrition, and the good health of human and environment for the rising global population; (ii) highlights the nutritional, health, agricultural, and environmental benefits of legumes and the key practices involved in their cultivation; (iii) discusses the potential of legume landraces in combating global hidden hunger; (iv) overviews the global legume production, constraints and prospects; (v) briefly enlightens key insights into origin, botany, benefits, constraints, and recent focus of research on neglected and underutilized legume crops; (vi) appraises literature on new frontiers related to underutilized and wild legumes; and also (vii) presents important aspects on bean rust in the genomics era. This volume is an important resource for plant biologists and agronomists involved in teaching or research who wish to advance their knowledge of various aspects of important legumes.…
