Indian Revolutionaries 1757-1961 (Vol-3)
From Plassey to Goa: The Unveiling of India's Revolutionary Struggle is an extensively researched and captivating series that delves into the long and arduous journey of India's fight for freedom from foreign rule. Spanning from the Battle of Plassey in 1757 to the Liberation of Goa in 1961, this series redefines the timeline of the struggle, shedding light on the lesser-known revolutionaries who shaped its course. Going beyond dry historical facts, the narrative unveils the human aspect of these heroic men and women, their unwavering commitment, and their willingness to sacrifice everything for their motherland. The book portrays harrowing tales of torture, unimaginable suffering, and the i...
Chandra Shekhar Azad
A collection of historical incidents related to the life of Chandra Shekhar Azad, 1906-1931, Indian freedom fighter.
Nitric Oxide in Developing Plant Stress Resilience
Nitric Oxide in Developing Plant Stress Resilience presents a strong focus on genetics and molecular mechanisms, examining crosstalk with other signaling molecules and the role this plays in the alleviation of oxidative damage. Abiotic stress negatively impacts plants productivity and alters the metabolism at the cellular or whole plant level, disturbing the mineral nutrients status, enzyme activities and osmotic homeostasis. Beginning with the biosynthesis of NO and its mode of action, chapters review various molecular interactions, including phytohormonal crosstalk, ROS metabolism, post-translational modification, and nutrients homeostasis. In addition, the book also highlights genome editing and proteomic approaches that can be used to manipulate NO responses. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in plant physiology, biochemistry and genetics. - Highlights how Nitric Oxide acts as a signaling molecule and the ways in which this can help plants develop stress tolerance - Discusses how NO interacts with other signaling molecules, including crosstalk - Considers the advances and future implications of NO in agriculture
Advancements in Developing Abiotic Stress-Resilient Plants
Plants often encounter abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, flooding, high/low temperatures, and metal toxicity, among others. The majority of these stresses occur simultaneously and thus limit crop production. Therefore, the need of the hour is to improve the abiotic stresses tolerance of crop plants by integrating physiology, omics, and modern breeding approaches. This book covers various aspects including (1) abiotic stress responses in plants and progress made so far in the allied areas for trait improvements, (2) integrates knowledge gained from basic physiology to advanced omics tools to assist new breeding technologies, and (3) discusses key genes, proteins, and metabolites or pathways for developing new crop varieties with improved tolerance traits.
Plant-microbes Interactions and Resistance Against Abiotic Stress
Abiotic stresses, such as cold, heat, drought, salinity, and heavy metals, limit plant growth. Plants interact with a wide range of different soil microorganisms, including prokaryotes, fungi, and viruses. These microorganisms can modulate various elements of plant defense mechanisms in response to abiotic stress. Symbiotic microbes can either enhance or hinder plant nutrient uptake and use efficiency, thereby impacting their growth and yield under stress. Plant-associated microbes also have the ability to alleviate stress through the activation of physiological, biochemical, and molecular pathways that coordinate ion uptake, nutrient metabolism, and the synthesis of compounds with osmotic or antioxidant activity. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms underlying the interactions between plants and their symbiotic microbes can potentially improve plant resistance to abiotic stress.
Nanofertilizers for Sustainable Agroecosystems
Large-scale chemical fertilizer application causes irreparable damage to soil structure, mineral cycles, soil microbial flora, plants, and other food chains across ecosystems, culminating in heritable mutations in future generations of consumers. A better way forward is the use of nanofertilizers to focus on macro elements (N, P, K), as switching to nanofertilizers may result in large environmental benefits by replacing the majority of these nutrients. Furthermore, the biosynthesis of nanomaterials using bacteria, algae, yeast, fungus, actinomycetes, and plants has opened up a new avenue of research in the production of inorganic nanoparticles as ecologically friendly fertilizers. Nanofertil...
Tree Biology and Biotechnology
This edited book aims to bring out a comprehensive collection of information on tree biology, breeding, improvement, genetics, and biotechnology. The focus of this book is to address the status of tree biology research through biotechnological, physiological, pathological, and entomological aspects. Trees are dominant and perennial species found in several ecosystems. They are the only piece of infrastructure that gains value over time. Their economic relevance is well known in terms of the production of food, feed, fodder, fuel, timber, and other products. Trees are well-known habitats for different organisms. They also deliver various ecosystem services, including temperature regulation, m...
Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
Due to complex phytochemical components and associated beneficial properties, numerous medicinal and aromatic plants, in whole or parts, have been used for nutritional purposes or the treatment of various diseases and disorders in humans and animals. Essential oils from medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) have been exploited for product formulations of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and beverage, colorants, biopesticides, and several other utility chemicals of industrial importance. There is scientific evidence of many medicinal plant extracts possessing immunomodulatory, immunostimulatory, antidiabetic, anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, thus demonstrating their...
