100 Rare Tumors of the Digestive System

  • 1st Edition
  • July 1, 2025
  • Xiaoyan Liao
  • English
100 Rare Tumors of the Digestive System: A Case-Based Reference for Surgical Pathologists provides practicing surgical pathologists, gastroenterologists, oncologists, and surgeons with a single volume that reviews the clinical and pathologic features of rarely encountered neoplasms in the digestive system. The book will use a case-based format to first bring up typical clinical settings, including clinical history, symptoms, laboratory and radiographic findings, followed by representative histologic and immunologic pictures. Multiple-choice questioning will be provided for readers to decide on the best diagnosis from a list of mimickers. This will be followed by an in-depth discussion of each specific entity, deciphering the most salient features for recognition and correct diagnosis, how to distinguish it from other entities, and recent advancement regarding tumorigenesis and molecular features. This is the perfect reference for clinicians that would like to know updated terminology, histopathologic presentation, potential pathogenesis mechanisms and treatment strategies for digestive disease entities. Scientists and researchers can also reference this book to find disease entities of interest, including pathogenesis, immunophenotype, and molecular findings.

  • 1st Edition
  • July 1, 2025
  • Jen-Tsung Chen
  • English
summarizes the current state of plant pangenomes and pangenomics as applied in wide range of aspects of plant biology involving the subtopics of genome evolution, phenotypic evolution, population genetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. Explaining the resources and technologies of pangenomics with plant functional genomics, the book also presents precision molecular breeding of crops to produce improved stress-tolerance and climate-smart capacities, improving growth, and development, enhanced production and better quality of foods. It covers key critical stressors including temperature, salt, drought, pollutants, pests, fungi, bacteria, viruses. This book is an ideal complete guide for students, researchers, experts, and professors to overview such a critical topic by discussing all aspects of pangenomes and pangenomics from fundamental and advanced tools and current applications in plant sciences, plant functional genomics, plant stress physiology, plant biotechnology, plant pathology, and plant breeding.

Amino Acids in Plant Protection

  • 1st Edition
  • July 1, 2025
  • Noreen Zahra + 3 more
  • English
highlights the increasingly evident importance of amino acids in plant development and stress defense, addressing the needs of basic and applied plant scientists around the world. This comprehensive book presents the latest and novel findings on amino acid research on this important aspect of plant physiology. Higher plants are sessile and therefore cannot escape hostile environmental conditions that are a constant threat throughout their life cycle. Unfavorable growth conditions such as extreme temperatures, drought and flood, and contamination of soils with high salt concentrations are considered the major abiotic environmental stressors that can not only limit plant growth and development, but they also determine the geographic distribution of plant species and directly affect agronomical yield. Plants have evolved different strategies to minimize the harmful effects of abiotic stress conditions and several of them are connected to amino acid metabolism. Amino acids are involved in several physiological processes in plants from constituting proteins to acting as precursors for the synthesis of secondary metabolites and signaling molecules. Most importantly, they also take part in the transport and storage of organic nitrogen within the plant, having active roles in plant development and participating in the plant's response to environmental stresses. Metabolic adaptation is crucial for abiotic stress resistance in plants, and the accumulation of specific amino acids as well as secondary metabolites derived from amino acid metabolism has been identified in increased tolerance to hostile environmental conditions. provides the only comprehensive overview of the general direction of amino acid metabolism and genetic regulation under abiotic stress conditions, presenting a complete map of all currently known enzymatic steps involved in amino acid synthesis and degradation was assembled including the initial steps leading to the synthesis of secondary metabolites.

Role of Antioxidants in Mitigating Plant Stress

  • 1st Edition
  • July 1, 2025
  • Azamal Husen
  • English
explores the fundamental roles and mechanistic approaches of antioxidant stress tolerance strategies. With chapters addressing both enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, it provides a clear guide for understanding plant responses. Plants are regularly exposed to various kinds of abiotic and biotic stresses in their natural environmental conditions. These stresses have significant influence on agriculture worldwide and thus, lead to massive economic losses as well as food insecurity. Research has identified many of the effects of, and mitigation techniques for, various stresses that impact plant systems. Strategies for strengthening the antioxidant defense system can increase yields and protect crop plants from a variety of stresses. clarifies a broad range of the enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants as they coordinate and form a complex set of mechanisms to efficiently minimize, buffer and remove reactive oxygen species. Presenting current understanding of these components, the book features their role, molecular properties and reaction mechanisms to various environmental conditions. This book provides an important reference for researchers and advanced level students seeking to improve plant health.
