This book compiles new findings from the work of internationally renowned experts in plant electrophysiology, biophysics, bioelectrochemistry, ion channels, membrane transport, imaging of water transport, photosynthesis, mechanosensors, osmotic motors, sensing and actuation in plants. First volume covers modern methods in plant electrophysiology and cell electrophysiology. Second volume deals with signal transduction and responses in plants.
Salinity stress is serious abiotic stress that negatively affects crop productivity and global food security. One of the top ten threats to the world's land resources, the extent of soil salinity is increasing by 1.5 million hectares every year. Salinity stress is a global problem that threatens food productivity, food security, and ecosystems. Salinity affects seed germination, plant growth, nutrient and water uptake, physiology, and molecular responses. Increasing industrialization and anthropogenic activities further aggravate salinity stress. Global population is continuously rising, necessitating a substantial increase in crop production to meet food needs. Therefore, proper measures mu...
In the last half century, because of the raising world population and because of the many environmental issues posed by the industrialization, the amount of arable land per person has declined from 0.32 ha in 1961–1963 to 0.21 ha in 1997–1999 and is expected to drop further to 0.16 ha by 2030 and therefore is a severe menace to food security (FAO 2006). At the same time, about 12 million ha of irrigated land in the developing world has lost its productivity due to waterlogging and salinity. Waterlogging is a major problem for plant cultivation in many regions of the world. The reasons are in part due to climatic change that leads to the increased number of precipitations of great intensi...
The remote work revolution presents a unique opportunity for higher education institutions to reinvent themselves and become talent magnets. In Knowledge Towns, David J. Staley and Dominic D. J. Endicott argue that the location of a college or university is a necessary piece of any region's effort to attract remote knowledge workers and accelerate economic development and creative placemaking. Just as every town expects a church, bank branch, post office, and coffeehouse, Staley and Endicott write, we will see a decentralized network of institutions of higher education flourish, acting as cornerstones for the post-pandemic rebuilding of our society and economy. In calling for a "college in a...
