Carbon Nanotubes in Agriculture: Specifications and Applications presents overviews the beneficial roles of carbon nano-tubes (CNT) in regulation of seed germination, plant metabolism and their applications in plant stress management. In light of current climate change trends, CNT-assisted crop yield is likely to play a significant role in improving plant health, enhancing root growth, and improved tolerance in plants to a number of abiotic and biotic stresses. Primarily targeted towards scientists and researchers in nanotechnology, nano-agriculture, nanomaterial-assisted crop improvement, as well as plant stress tolerance, plant biotechnology and crop yield, this book is the first to focus on this important topic.

Presents a nanotechnology approach for the management of abiotic and biotic stresses in plantsExplores nanotechnology-assisted rhizosphere engineering and its role in fertilizer developmentIncludes expert insights from around the globe

Plant Ionomics A thoroughly up-to-date exploration of nutrient uptake in plants In Plant Ionomics: Sensing, Signaling and Regulation, accomplished botanists and researchers Dr. Vijay Singh and Dr. Manzer Siddiqui deliver an up-to-date discussion on the sensing, signaling, and regulation of nutrient uptake in plants under a variety of conditions. The book offers an accessible and easy-to-use reference for researchers with an interest in plant ionomics, combining the latest research from leading laboratories around the globe. The authors provide coverage of a variety of critical topics, including plant and soil nutrient stoichiometry, nutrient management and stress tolerance in crops, and the relationship between agricultural production and nutrient applications. Readers will also find: A thorough introduction to nutrient regulation and abiotic stress tolerance in plantsIn-depth discussions of nutrient uptake and transport in plants and the role of nutrients in ROS metabolismPractical explorations of nutrient and sugar signaling and associated gene networks in plantsExtensive treatments of the role of nutrients in plant–microbe interactions and nutrient-use efficiency in plantsPerfect for students, researchers, academics, and scientists with an interest in plant nutrition, Plant Ionomics: Sensing, Signaling and Regulation will also earn a place in the libraries of professionals in the agriculture and pharmaceutical industries.

This book focuses on the role of hydrogen sulfide in the protection of plants against abiotic stresses and abiotic stress-induced complications by the way of converging advanced key methods of proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics.
