Nanomaterials in Plants, Algae and Microorganisms: Concepts and Controversies: Volume One discusses the vast amount of nanomaterials that have been released into the environment in a relatively short amount of time. There is a need to understand what the implications to the health of our biota and ecosystems are as the earth is increasingly inundated with these materials. Not all of the effects are negative, but their impacts are increasing exponentially due to their size, quantity and other factors. - Covers the issues of nanoparticles on more simple organisms and their ecosystems - Presents issues that are specific to terrestrial ecosystems - Contains contributions from global experts who help increase understanding at the physiological, biochemical, molecular, and even genomic and proteomic levels - Provides a critical assessment of the progress taking place on this topic and sheds light on future research needs
Abiotic stresses such as drought, high salt, cold, heat, UV radiation, heavy metal pollution, etc., are increasingly responsible for restricting plant growth and agricultural production and are becoming more alarming due to threats from global climate change. To combat these threats, this new 3-volume set provides a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that mediate biosynthesis, accumulation, and degradation of plant metabolites to improve crop production and enhance abiotic stress tolerance in plants. Volume 1: Secondary Metabolites in Environmental Stress Tolerance focuses exclusively on the diverse secondary metabolites that play a major role in the adaptation of plants to the en...
The Electron Transport Chain is an important part of photosynthesis. This book discusses its function, factors that can disrupt it, and nutritional methods to protect it.
The book entitled Natural Resources and Development in Himalaya is an outcome of experience and knowledge gained by the editor (Prof L.R.
