Biocontrol Potential and its Exploitation in Sustainable Agriculture
Plant based biotechnology has come to represent a means of mitigating the problems of global food security in the twenty-first century. Products and processes in agriculture are increasingly becoming linked to science and cutting edge technology, to enable the engineering of what are in effect, designer plants. One of the most successful , non-chemical approaches to pest management and disease control is biological control, which seeks a solution in terms of using living organisms to regulate the incidence of pests and pathogens, providing a natural control' while still maintaining the biological balance with the ecosystem. This volume, (the first of two), addresses the different types of biocontrol for different pests, namely, crop diseases, weeds and nematodes, and details the biology of both the pest and its enemies, which is vital for efficient use of biological control. The book has numerous contributors who are authorities in their fields, and would be an asset to those who have interest in sustainable agriculture and crop productivity.
Revolutionizing Sugarcane Molecular Breeding and Biotechnological Approaches
This book delves into the intricate world of sugarcane breeding, offering a comprehensive exploration of advanced technologies and methodologies revolutionizing the field. Readers will learn about the latest genomic tools and breeding strategies that are enhancing sugarcane's resilience, yield, and overall performance. Chapters cover topics such as genomics and transcriptomics, transgenic sugarcane for trait improvement, potential candidate promoters, new strategies for genetic transformation, molecular farming, and genome editing. Expert contributors from around the globe provide in-depth analyses and insights into the challenges and innovations in sugarcane breeding, with particular attent...
Major Fungal Diseases of Rice
Major Fungal Diseases of Rice: Recent Advances provides a comprehensive overview of latest research in rice fungal pathology. There are 25 chapters dealing with the blast, sheath blight, sheath rot, brown spot and scald diseases of rice as well as some broader topics. The book covers recent progress in a number of key fundamental aspects such as pathogenicity, pathogen diversity, molecular characterisation, gene cloning, genetics of host resistance and host-pathogen interactions. It also presents the current status and perspectives in strategic and applied areas such as epidemiology, resistance breeding, biological control, induced resistance, seed-borne diseases and quarantine issues and disease management strategies. This book is essential for rice researchers, pathologists and breeders and will also be suitable for cereal and plant pathologists in general, as there is an extensive coverage of recent research advances in rice blast, a model system in plant pathology.
Vistas in Seed Biology
With special reference to India; festschrift presented to Dalbir Singh, b. 1932, professor of botany, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, upon his retirement in 1992.
Fungal Pathogenesis in Plants and Crops
From the molecular basis of host defense mechanisms and molecular events leading to the suppression of defense mechanisms by fungal pathogens to fungal infection processes, this work covers various aspects of molecular plant pathology. It includes initial contact, penetration and subsequent evasion of post-penetration defense mechanisms. It documents and illustrates up-to-date experimental results and hypotheses.
Generations Gardening Together
Generations Gardening Together presents a tested, hands-on, easy-to-use six-week activity plan that benefits the development of relationships between adults over 70 and school-age children. It shows how to limit frustration for both groups, how to plan activities that are functional and non-contrived, and how to assure that the interaction between elders and children is rewarding and pleasant for both. The activities rely on inexpensive, readily available tools and resources available throughout the growing season.
