Advancement of Melatonin Research in Plants
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a widely studied biomolecule, and its function has been investigated in bacteria, mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish and plants. Melatonin research in plants the last five years has attained an exponential growth phase and the number of publications related to phytomelatonin has significantly increased in present times. All this research is directed towards establishing multifarious roles of melatonin in plants, including the promotion of seed germination and seedling growth, influencing plant development and senescence, alteration of flowering and fruiting time and grain yield, modulating circadian rhythms, improving resistance against bio...
Potato
This informative book focuses on the nutritional value of potatoes and ways to improve it. With the world reeling under the burden of an ever-growing population, there is a pressing need for affordable and nutritious staples to feed the billions. Potatoes are grown in a broad range of countries around the world and can substantially contribute to future food security. Given the increasing consumption of potatoes, there is a need for a book that compiles information on and raises awareness of their nutritional value, while also encouraging their consumption. The respective chapters of this book cover the chemical composition, structure and health benefits of potatoes, as well as genetic modif...
New Frontiers in Plant-Environment Interactions
This book provides information about plant–environment studies and challenges for plant improvement to achieve food security. Plants face a wide range of environmental challenges, which are expected to become more intense as a result of global climate change. Plant–environment interactions play an important role in the functioning of ecosystems. There are habitats throughout the world that present challenges to crop plants, such as through a lack of water and excessive, or toxic, salts in the soil. Soil properties represent a strong selection pressure for plant diversity and influence the structure of plant communities and participate to the generation and maintenance of biodiversity. Pl...
Urban Forests, Climate Change and Environmental Pollution
This book contributes significantly to the international literature by bringing forth a novel and comprehensive exploration of urban resilience in the face of climate change and environmental pollution. Its focus on integrating physiological, biochemical, and molecular dimensions distinguishes it from existing literature. The book offers several key contributions, including an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complex interactions within urban ecosystems. It includes cutting-edge insights that have not been extensively explored in existing literature, practical applications, and evidence-based strategies to enhance urban sustainability and resilience. The book has a global rele...
Nanobiotechnology for Postharvest Management
This book provides an in-depth exploration of how nanobiotechnological aspects can be leveraged to address problems and challenges in postharvest management, such as extending product shelf-life, detecting and mitigating pests and diseases, and improving the quality and safety of agro-products. It outlines the advancements of the field of nanobiotechnology and controlling postharvest diseases with the goal of enhancing postharvest management and reducing food waste. Its content caters to benefit students, researchers, and professionals in the fields of nanobiotechnology, plant pathology, and postharvest technology.
Abiotic Stress in Underground Vegetables
Underground Vegetable Crops provides comprehensive information on the morphological, physiological, and biochemical responses of various underground vegetable crops to abiotic stress and the strategies for managing these crops under these conditions. Climate changes pose major challenges to the productivity and yield of crops, particularly horticultural crops that bear their edible parts underground. Underground vegetable crops are highly nutritious, non-cereal plant species grown in various agro-ecological zones and play a significant role in feeding people around the world. Further, while these crops are consumed by humans, they are also used as animal feed and raw materials for high-value...
Melatonin in Horticultural Plants
Melatonin in Horticultural Plants: A Multifunctional Molecule for Abiotic Stress Tolerance consolidates insights from leading experts on the morphological, physiological, and biochemical processes triggered by the application of melatonin, ultimately resulting in enhanced crop tolerance to abiotic stresses.This book provides an in-depth analysis of various abiotic stressors affecting horticultural crops, detailing how they impact plant growth and development, from seedling establishment to senescence, as well as their influence on yield and quality. It explores how melatonin regulates these responses through chemical signaling and highlights its role in coordinating signal transduction pathw...
