Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Arsenic contamination poses a major environmental problem, especially in Southeast Asian countries like Bangladesh and India. Threatening the health of millions of people due to arsenic's toxicity and carcinogenicity, the major routes of arsenic exposure for humans are either through drinking water or crops. Rice is the crop most affected by arsenic owing to its cultivation in major arsenic contaminated areas, biogeochemical factors in the soil during rice growth, and specific features of rice that enable it take up more arsenic than other crop plants. This book addresses the problem of arsenic by pursuing a holistic approach. It presents the status quo in different parts of the world (North and South America, Europe, Asia, etc.) and provides essential information on food-related arsenic exposure risks for humans, and possible preventive and curative measures for tackling arsenic poisoning. It covers the arsenic contamination status of rice, rice-based products, other vegetables, fishes, mushrooms, and other foods, with a special focus on rice-arsenic interactions. The mechanisms of arsenic uptake, translocation and distribution in plants and grains are also explained. In closing, the book reviews a variety of prospective agronomic and biotechnological solutions to the problem of arsenic accumulation in rice grains. The book is intended for a broad audience including researchers, scientists, and readers with diverse backgrounds including agriculture, environmental science, food science, environmental management, and human health. It can also be used as an important reference guide for undergraduate and graduate students, university faculties, and environmentalists.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This contributed volume covers the role of zinc in soil and plant systems, providing a comprehensive understanding of factors influencing its total and bioavailable levels. The book presents the mechanisms of zinc uptake, translocation, and homeostasis in plants under both Zn-deficient and Zn-excess conditions. It also addresses a variety of agronomic, biotechnological, and microbial approaches for managing zinc nutrition in crops.Plants have evolved intricate systems of transporters and regulatory mechanisms to obtain trace amounts of zinc, which is crucial for their growth and yield. Zinc homeostasis is essential for optimal crop performance, yet its availability in the environment varies significantly. While some regions of the world experience severe zinc deficiency, others face zinc toxicity. This poses a dual challenge: zinc deficiency in crops negatively impacts the nutrition of millions of people dependent on plant-based diets, while zinc toxicity can lead to excessive zinc accumulation in crops, posing health risks to humans. The book highlights significant advancements in improving zinc nutrition in crops, presenting cutting-edge research and strategies to address these challenges. It offers insights into the broader implications of zinc in agriculture and human nutrition, bridging the gap between plant health and public health.This book is an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, and academicians. It is particularly relevant for those studying or working in the fields of crop nutrition, essential elements in plants, zinc deficiency and toxicity in soils, the role of zinc in human health, and sustainable agricultural practices. This poses a dual challenge: zinc deficiency in crops negatively impacts the nutrition of millions of people dependent on plant-based diets, while zinc toxicity can lead to excessive zinc accumulation in crops, posing health risks to humans.
