Antimicrobial Peptides: From Science to Applications provides comprehensive coverage on the biology, diversity, and mechanisms of action associated with antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The book aims to equip readers with the knowledge required to understand, harness, and optimize these molecules for development and application across various sectors. Sections overview the biology and diversity of antimicrobial peptides, cover their molecular structure and function, and delve into their unique mechanisms of action and evolutionary significance in nature. Subsequent chapters go on to explore the utilization of AMPs in medicine, agriculture, the environment, and biotechnology.Culminating in discussions on future trends, regulatory considerations, and strategies to overcome challenges, this book is an informative reference for researchers, scientists, graduate students, and industry professionals engaged in the study and development of antimicrobial peptides as a potential solution to address pressing challenges such as antibiotic resistance, food security, and environmental sustainability.Brings together leading experts to provide insights into the latest research, applications, and future directions of antimicrobial peptidesExplores current methods and innovations in the synthesis and production antimicrobial peptidesOffers valuable insights into future directions, emerging trends, regulatory considerations, and potential challenges in the development and application of antimicrobial peptides

This book presents a detailed overview and critical evaluation of recent advances and remaining challenges in improving nutritional quality and/or avoiding the accumulation of undesirable substances in plants using a variety of strategies based on modern biological tools and techniques. Each review chapter provides an authoritative and insightful account of the various aspects of nutritional enhancement of plants. In the course of the last two decades, several food crops rich in macro- and micronutrients have been developed to improve health and protect a large section of the populace in developing countries from chronic diseases. Providing extensive information on these developments, this book offers a valuable resource for all researchers, students and industrialists working in agriculture, the plant sciences, agronomy, horticulture, biotechnology, food and nutrition, and the soil and environmental sciences.
