The Role of Gasotransmitters In the Amelioration of Arsenic Toxicity in Plants: Biology and Biotechnology, in the Plant Gasotransmitter series, provides research on how gasotransmitters can reduce the stress faced by plants through arsenic contamination. With a strong focus on metabolic processes, the book presents the various pathways and mechanisms associated with gasotransmitters as part of arsenic amelioration. Initial chapters discuss the effects of arsenic on the plant genome and metabolome, as well as the mechanisms behind the uptake and translocation of arsenic in plants. The book then takes a deep dive into the role of gasotransmitters, highlighting plant physiological responses.
This is an essential resource for students, researchers and agronomists interested in plant physiology, biochemistry and plant hormones.
Explains the physiological, biochemical and molecular aspects of how gasotransmitters can mitigate stress by arsenic in plants Presents how arsenic is found in the environment, along with associated problems with arsenic contamination Highlights the impact of food processing on minimizing arsenic and other potentially toxic elements in edible plants2 662 kr

This book covers the topic of biostimulation of crops using nanomaterials to increase crop production and quality improvement, accompanied by the reduction of environmental impact in the form of less use of pesticides and greater efficiency in the use of fertilizers and water. Different classes of biostimulants have been recognized and studied, but nanomaterials are among the most recently considered with a dual category of biostimulation-inducing physical and chemical agents. The physical process of biostimulation occurs through interactions at the interfaces of the nanomaterial corona and cell walls and membranes. In contrast, the chemical process depends on the corona and core composition. The chapters in this book present the different topics of biostimulation with nanomaterials with the consideration of different spheres of organization, from the molecular view to agricultural ecosystems. It looks at the interactions between nanomaterials and plant cells that differ depending on the corona''s size, shape, specific surface, and composition, in addition to the dynamic biological contexts of development and interaction with other environmental factors. The book caters to researchers and scientists who are interested in the biostimulation of crops using nanomaterials and their long-term ecological impact.
