Oilseed Crops offers essential insights into sustainable biotechnological advancements that are vital for enhancing oil production and meeting the skyrocketing global demand for food, fuel, and energy.Plants, particularly oilseed crops, have played a crucial role in biotechnology since the early 20th century, providing sustainable resources for food, fodder, and fuel. The book Oilseed Crops delves into using biotechnological methods to enhance both edible and non-edible oils sustainably. It offers an in-depth look at the global oil plant market, growth influencers, adulteration detection, and yield improvement strategies. Highlighting significant advancements in oilseed research—such as plant-microbe interactions, drought-resistance, and molecular biotechnologies—the book focuses on increasing oil yields and discusses the production of biofuels from non-edible oilseeds to meet rising biofuel demands.

Various strategies used to tackle with the plastic waste were highlighted with case studies of plastic waste management, including in vitro, in situ and ex situ with a special reference to biodegradation technology.

This contributed volume focuses on the effects of macro, meso, micro, and nanoplastic waste on marine biota. It discusses the threats posed by plastic waste on the flora and fauna in the marine environment. This book will help in understanding different aspects of plastic waste generation, its transportation with different natural and anthropogenic ways, its accumulation at the seacoast, and its impact on marine biota. The book also suggests strategies for saving marine life from threats posed by plastic waste and presents methods to reduce its generation using different strategies. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, climate change scientists, capacity builders, and policymakers. It also serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Ecology, Botany, and Environmental Sciences.
