      Agricultural Biostimulants for Mitigation of Salt, Drought and Heat Stress provides the latest information on the potential for sustainable, enhanced resilience of agricultural crops to adverse conditions. This volume in the Biostimulant and Protective Biochemical Agents series focuses on high impact challenges and opportunities. Biostimulants are a promising and effective approach for achieving sustainable agriculture, often regarded as a renewable source of plant nutrients, improve crop production and soil health. During the last decade, there has been a growing interest in the potential use of various biostimulants such as plant growth-promoting fungi, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, seaweed extracts, and organic amendments, etc. to increase nutrient use efficiency, and/or tolerance to abiotic environmental stress in plants. Agricultural Biostimulants for Mitigation of Salt, Drought and Heat Stress includes coverage of bacteria, algae, PGR, PGPB, biochar and other core approaches. It highlights how specific biostimulants may protect or enhance agricultural plant health and is the first comprehensive reference resource to focus exclusively on the role of biostimulants in protecting agricultural crop yield against these major environmental challenges.

      Proteomics, Multi-Omics and Systems Biology in Optic Nerve Regeneration is a comprehensive reference that covers all vistas of standardization of axon regeneration, as well as all multi-omics and system level data and integration tools. By adopting a translational approach, the book bridges current research in the field to clinical applications, and readers can expect to learn standardization approaches for axon regeneration, multi-omics datasets, different databases, search engines, multiple dataset integrative tools, pathway convergence approaches and tools, outcome and outcome measures that unify bench research with clinical outcome.The axon regeneration from existing neurons in central nervous system (CNS) have become a potential possibility in the last decade. The potential possibility of long-distance axon growth has opened the possibility of re-connectivity of axons of retinal ganglion cell neurons within the lateral geniculate nucleus in the brain. The long-distance axon regeneration and re-connectivity is a promise to restore lost vision in the optic nerve. Further, long-distance regeneration and re-innervation is equally helpful for other fields such as spinal cord injuries.
