English

Presents the latest information on the flavonoid induced genetic and molecular networks that regulate plant and microbe interactions. Covering recent studies, innovations and future perspectives of flavonoid metabolism and their role in regulating plant responses to environmental changes, this book provides insights for current application as well as for future research. Flavonoids are important secondary metabolites synthesized in plants. They are antioxidant rich and play significant roles in scavenging oxidative stress markers in plants. While flavonoids have been extensively studied in model plants, their exploration from other plant species is limited. In order to understand the complete mechanism of various plant growth phases, it is important to reveal the flavonoids and their types presents a detailed compilation of the diverse flavonoids, their role in food security and underlying molecular and biochemical mechanistic parameters. It includes a detailed description of flavonoids biosynthesis, their diversity, and role in regulation of plant responses to global climate change exposure. Further, this book brings together the concept of flavonoid engineering and its status and scope to support agricultural sustainability. With emphasis on the various molecular and biochemical mechanisms responsible for flavonoids mediated plant responses to resist the alteration induced by changing environmental conditions, the book helps readers understand both the basics and the most recent advancements in flavonoids engineering and thus the survival, productivity, and sustainability of plants.

Multiple Abiotic Stresses in Plants

English

Multiple Abiotic Stresses: Mechanisms and Management Strategies is the only single-volume reference providing insights into the occurrence of multiple abiotic stresses faced by plants, their physiology and adaptation mechanisms. The responses and recovery processes by plants under multiple abiotic stresses are different than when facing an individual stress, or multiple stresses faced separately. Exploring these mechanistic differences and management practices is key to advancing understanding and improvement of plant health and crop production.Combined or multiple abiotic stresses are an emerging outcome of global climate change, resulting in significant impact on crop plants around the world. Drought, temperature extremes, salinity, and submergence/water stagnation are some of the major stresses that may occur in a sequence in a single cropping season and sometimes simultaneously as well.This book provides a comprehensive resource for researchers, educators, students, and practitioners interested in the intricate interplay between multiple abiotic stresses and plant biology, as well as strategies for enhancing stress resilience and sustainability in agriculture.

Cadmium Contamination in Soils and Plants

1st Edition

English

Cadmium Contamination in Soils and Plants: Mechanisms and Mitigation focuses on the processes and mechanisms of transformation and transport of cadmium (Cd) in soil-plant systems, covering aspects from inputs and outputs of Cd to/from soil-plant systems, biogeochemical transformation of Cd in soil, uptake and transport of Cd in plants, toxicity and detoxification of Cd in microorganisms and plants, dietary intake of Cd and impact on human health, risk assessment and bioremediation technologies to mitigate Cd contamination. Contamination of soil with Cd, a highly toxic heavy metal, is a global problem due to both geogenic reasons and anthropogenic activities. Cd is readily taken up by plants, causing toxicities to plants and posing a significant risk to human health via dietary exposure. There has been much scientific progress in understanding various aspects of the topic, especially the mechanisms and mitigation technologies. This book to synthesizes and presents a comprehensive look at the state-of-the-art knowledge of Cd in soil-plant systems. Cadmium Contamination in Soils and Plants serves as a key authoritative resource for researchers, graduate students, environmental protection professionals and policy makers who are interested in the issues of soil contamination, agricultural sustainability, food safety and public health, and environmental protection and remediation.
