Plants are leading chemists that collectively synthesize a vast number of low molecular weight complex compounds called “phytochemicals” or “phytonutrients” which are the valuable source of bioactive compounds that have numerous health benefits and pharmaceutical and industrial uses. Moreover, they have been shown to possess diverse biological activities, for instance, antiviral, antiproliferative, antioxidant, larvicidal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-parasitic, analgesic, antifungal, hepatoprotective, immunomodulatory as well as central nervous system depressant.
The present edited book is an attempt to update the state of art of the knowledge on metabolism of ROS and antioxidants and their relationship in plant adaptation to abiotic stresses involving physiological, biochemical and molecular processes. The chapters are much focused on the current climate issues and how ROS metabolism can manipulate with antioxidant system to accelerate detoxification mechanism. It will enhance the mechanistic understanding on ROS and antioxidants system and will pave the path for agricultural scientists in developing tolerant crops to achieve sustainability under the changing environmental conditions. The increase in abiotic stress factors has become a major threat ...
Bioactive compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenoids, alkaloids, carotenoids, stilbenes, and anthocyanins have a great effect on promoting better human welfare as chemical and food additives, agrochemical products, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and biofuels. Noticeably, these bioactive compounds contain glycosides, steroids, plant sterols, and peptides. The exploration, biosynthesis, and amplification of potential biological activities of natural and non-natural molecules have remained unchanged as one of the most exciting trends in biotechnological products. Most bioactive compounds are usually isolated from plants, microorganisms, marine organisms, and fungi. However, the yield of...
Nanotechnology in Sustainable Agriculture presents applications of nanobiotechnology for eco-friendly agriculture practices. Implementing sustainable agriculture techniques is a crucial component in meeting projected global food demands while minimising toxic waste in the environment. Nano-technological tools – including nanoparticles, nanocapsules, nanotubes and nanomolecules – offer sustainable options to modernise agriculture systems. Written by nanotechnology experts, this book outlines how nano-formulations can improve yield without reliance on chemecial pesticides and reduce nutrient losses in fertilization. It reveals how nanotools are used for rapid disease diagnostics, in treati...
