  • Athymic Nude Rat Brain Atlas

    • 1st Edition
    • Bengt Mattsson + 2 more
    • English
    Athymic Nude Rat Brain Atlas will provide the first stereotaxic brain atlas of the athymic nude rat (Crl:NIH-Foxn1rnu), a T-cell deficient rat model commonly used in experimental studies and pre-clinical safety and efficacy studies. This 2D vector-based atlas contains coronal, sagittal, and horizontal brain sections of an athymic rat brain rendered from a single cleared specimen, placed in a computerized 3D environment. The maps enable readers to better calculate co-ordinates to target specific structures for toxin, virus, or cell delivery using stereotaxic surgery. This atlas will be a valuable resource for any neuroscientist who wishes to work with nude rats in experimental and pre-clinical studies.
  • New Horizons in Natural Compound Research

    • 1st Edition

    • English
    New Horizons in Natural Compound Research provides the latest updates in natural compound research (plant, microbes, algae, fungi) and their novel applications in health, agriculture and environment. The book gives recent advances in the extraction of natural compounds, cutting-edge approaches for natural compound purifications, and emerging trends in natural compound screening and identification. In addition, it provides a detailed explanation of the databases and libraries of natural compounds, as well as their significance. Sections focus on research and multidisciplinary practical techniques of natural product research, encouraging young scientists to pursue unique research while also generating strong research ideas. From a future perspective, this book acts as a guide to identify potential areas and new research opportunities in the field of natural products and their service towards human beings, animals and the environment.
  • Plant-Microbe Interaction - Recent Advances in Molecular and Biochemical Approaches

    Volume 1: Overview of Biochemical and Physiological Alteration During Plant-Microbe Interaction
    • 1st Edition
    • Prashant Swapnil + 5 more
    • English
    Plant-Microbe Interaction - Recent Advances in Molecular and Biochemical Approaches: Overview of Biochemical and Physiological Alteration During Plant-Microbe Interaction, Volume One covers the role of these plant microbes and their interaction between plants and microbes. These beneficial microbes, such as bacteria and fungi are also known as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) through a biochemical reaction that may improve induced systemic resistance in the plant host via indirectly (against phytopathogens) or directly (the solubilization of mineral nutrients) by producing phytohormones and specific enzymes such as 1-aminocyclopropane-... deaminase. The book covers biochemical processes such as physiological, metabolic, etc. of plant and microbe interactions, the biochemistry of biological systems, the interaction of biological systems above-ground or within the rhizosphere, and the history of growth promoting microbiomes, their roles in phytoremediation efficiency, physiological and biochemical studies, chemical communication and signaling mechanisms.
