“In the hidden realm beneath our feet, a complex network of interactions unfolds between plant roots and the surrounding soil”.The rhizosphere is a zone of intense biological and chemical activity, which plays a critical role in shaping plant growth, nutrient uptake, and ecosystem functioning. Recent advances in our understanding of root signaling and rhizosphere engineering have revealed the vast potential for manipulating these interactions to enhance crop productivity, improve soil health, and mitigate environmental stresses. It is worthwhile to decipher the molecular signals and nutrient exchanges between plants and microbes, which can in turn facilitate to design an innovative strategy to optimize rhizosphere functioning.It is imperative to bring about the development of more climate-resilient crops, improve soil carbon sequestration, and reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers. This field also offers opportunities for novel biotechnological applications, including the development of microbe-based biofertilizers and biopesticides.As we continue to face the challenges of a growing global population and environmental degradation, rhizosphere engineering offers a cutting-edge solution to crop productivity. It enables harnessing the power of plant–microbe interactions, unlocking new avenues for sustainable agriculture, and ecosystem restoration. This preface sets the stage for exploring the latest advances and future directions in rhizosphere engineering, highlighting its potential to revolutionize our understanding of soil ecosystems and promote a more sustainable future.This book explores the cutting-edge science and applications of rhizosphere engineering and root signaling, bringing together insights from plant biology, soil science, microbiology, and ecology. Unraveling the intricate communication networks between roots and soil can unveil new strategies for sustainable agriculture, ecosystem restoration, and environmental resilience.

“In the struggle between plants and salt, ion transporters are the silent warriors that turn adversity into growth.”As our planet faces the growing threat of climate change and soil salinization, the need to develop resilient crops has never been more urgent. Ion Transporters: The Clue to Salt Tolerance and Adaptation in Plants offers an honest attempt to delve into the molecular mechanisms that enable plants to survive in salty environments.

It also highlights how scientists are leveraging these mechanisms to develop crops capable of withstanding increasing soil salinity. From halophytes, nature’s salt survivors, to biotechnological breakthroughs, this book reveals the future of sustainable agriculture in a salt-affected world. A special focus is given to advanced biotechnological tools such as gene editing, CRISPR-Cas9, and modern breeding techniques.Key Features:• In-depth explanation of ion transporters and their role in salt tolerance• Coverage of ion channels, pumps, and their coordination in stress adaptation• Case studies on halophytes and naturally salt-tolerant systems• Insights into gene editing, CRISPR-Cas9, and biotechnology applications• Exploration of sustainable crop development under saline conditionsWhether you are a researcher, educator, or agricultural practitioner, this book will deepen your understanding of the molecular underpinnings of salt tolerance and inspire innovative solutions for global food security.

Innovation in healthcare has been both fast and slow.As an industry, we have clearly made great technological advancements, and yet we find ourselves behind peer industries when it comes to innovation with patient care, customer experience, augmented intelligence, virtual care, and cybersecurity. One reason for the lack of innovation velocity is the need for a universally adopted model or best practice framework. The time has come for Voices of Innovation – AI. Artificial intelligence is what some call the fourth transformative revolution in human history. Healthcare is among the many industries with significant opportunities for the use of AI and machine learning, as the convergence of technology and healthcare will result in significant innovation. This book is both practical and inspirational. Using the HIMSS model for innovation as the structural framework, Voices of Innovation – AI will showcase the great AI innovations being implemented across healthcare globally.With contributions from leading authorities in this field, this book will become the de facto resource for any organization seeking to leverage AI effectively. Loaded with numerous case studies and stories of successful innovation projects, this book helps the reader understand how to leverage AI to help fulfill the promise of technology in enabling superior business and clinical outcomes.

Investigating the phenomena of technology, science, technique, and mass communication, Piyush Mathur contends that the enterprise of science communication may be misleading vis-à-vis technology—if in part because it frequently coextends with a flawed, but dominant, notion of science that presumptuously implicates technology anyway. Grappling with what authentically constitutes science and the prospective effects of its realization on a global future of mass communication, Mathur explores how various technological forms play specifically into ecologically sensitive mass communication. The result is an eco-communicative theory of technology that includes its classification based upon a set of qualitative principles and a profile of the notion of development. On the whole, though, Technological Forms and Ecological Communication: A Theoretical Heuristic brings the fields of philosophy and history of science, philosophy and sociology of technology, communication studies, and development studies into conversation with one another.

Microgreens are the name given to the small, soft, green parts of plants that develop from seedlings and do not bear any real leaves. These microgreens are known to have high nutritional content and are composed of phytoconstituents such as carotenes, phenolics and polysterols which allow for their usage in dietary programs. Legumes provide high nutritional value by enhancing dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals, and are one of the most important sources of plant protein in the human diet. Leguminous microgreens can play a significant role in fulfilling the nutritional requirement of world’s population and will assist in completing the United Nations' global goal of 'zero hunger' (Sustainable Development Goal 2). Recent Trends and Applications of Leguminous Microgreens as Functional Foods provides an in-depth look at the development of leguminous microgreens, such as chickpea, lentils, beans and peas.
