Essential Oil Bearing Plants: Agro-techniques, Phytochemicals, and Healthcare Applications provides a unique, comprehensive view of the plants which produce these valuable products, exploring optimal plant production. Environmental factors such as genetic factors, geographical origins, cultivation locations, environmental conditions, and nutritional status influence their secondary components. Moreover, water variability, temperature, salt, and metal stresses significantly impact the growth, yield, and EO production of these plants by adjustment of anatomical, morphological, and biochemical development.This compilation increases the awareness of the essential oil plant species, their conservation, cultivation, and sustainable utilization. This deeper understanding of current science will aid in the efficient commercialization of products based on these plants, and will help identify knowledge gaps for future research.

Plant Function Traits: Linking Climate and Ecosystem Functioning, part of the Plant Biology, Sustainability and Climate Change series, presents a wholistic understanding of Plant Functional Traits. As global climate change advances, natural resources are facing increasing survival challenges, hence this book directly addresses that need, exploring the morphological, physiological, and phenological properties of a plant that can be used as a proxy to understand plant environment interactions. Users will find great illustrations throughout individual chapters, along with case studies that demonstrate applications of functional traits in classifying vegetation of a region into distinct type groups as Plant Functional Types (PFTs).Additional information includes applications in the development of new generation of Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (DGVM) and an understanding of the response of vegetation to changing environments.

Patterns, Function and Application of Seed Microbiome: Bacteria, Fungi and Viruses presents the current understanding of seed and microbiota associations, emphasizing recent findings that highlight the latest insights into these interactions, and how they may ultimately influence plant ecology, health and productivity in both natural and agricultural systems. The development and dispersal of seeds and their transition to seedlings are among the most critical stages of the life cycle of plants and seed health is of crucial global importance for producing both quantity and high quality crops to feed world’s population. It is important for seeds to be produced that contain the best hybrid embryo so that it is free of diseases, includes beneficial endophytes and ensures a healthy start of a seedling. Focusing on the role of seed microbiota, their transmission and implications for producing healthier seeds as well as the relationship between the seed microbiome and primed plant resistance this book reveals the targeted use of the seed microbiome to enrich the soil biodiversity and its resilience and its resulting impact on plant health and yield. also explores the importance of nanotechnology in the development and production of crops for both improved plant production, and plant protection. It explores the different microbes that are vectored onto and within the seeds of both cultivated and non-cultivated plants, with an emphasis on the importance and roles of seed microbiomes in sustainable agriculture. It explains how to change seeds to increase microbiome vectoring; repairing damaged ones, and conserves seed microbiota. It also present seed microbiome roles for plant health and design effective microbiome engineering.
