This book emphasizes recent developments in the use of mutation technologies for crop plant improvement and, ultimately, sustainable development. Plant breeders use genetic variation, which is created by plant-induced mutation, to create new and improved cultivars. The development of improved cultivars is a productive and optimistic agricultural strategy for economic and environmental sustainability since it ensures high yield stability, enhances soil health, and poses no environmental risks. Understanding mutation induction and exploring its uses have paved the road for improving genetic diversity for different plants and agronomic features and advanced gene discovery for diverse qualities that aid in sustainable development. Plant mutation breeding imitates spontaneous mutation, the primary force driving evolution, by using a plant's own genetic resources instead of genetic transformation. In order to develop beneficial agricultural features, this strategy focuses on the application of various chemical and physical mutagens in conjunction with biotechnologies. In order to survive in challenging environments, increase nutritional value, fight diseases and pests, grow in salty soils, and utilize water and nutrients more effectively, new varieties of plants are developed.This approach has significantly boosted the economies of nations like China, India, Japan, Pakistan, and the USA. As of right now, the strategy has produced and disseminated more than 3600 mutant types in the majority of crop plants, having a significant economic impact. This book discusses several mutation induction techniques, mutant screening, genome editing, the haploid breeding system for mutations, as well as genomic developments, and mutant gene identification. Plant breeders, researchers, and students in the fields of plant sciences, agriculture, and food science will find this instructive book to be of great help.

Due to complex phytochemical components and associated beneficial properties, numerous medicinal and aromatic plants, in whole or parts, have been used for nutritional purposes or the treatment of various diseases and disorders in humans and animals. Essential oils from medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) have been exploited for product formulations of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food and beverage, colorants, biopesticides, and several other utility chemicals of industrial importance. There is scientific evidence of many medicinal plant extracts possessing immunomodulatory, immunostimulatory, antidiabetic, anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, thus demonstrating their traditional use in popular medicine. With the advent of modern technology, the exploitation of natural resources has exponentially increased in order to fulfill the demand of an increased human population with improved quality of life. The traditional agriculture and production-based supply of commodities is inadequate to meet the current demand. Biotechnological approaches are gaining importance to bridge the gaps in demand and supply. In the proposed book, medicinal and aromatic plant-based secondary metabolites have been discussed in terms of their therapeutic potential and industrial relevance. To discuss the qualitative and quantitative analysis of a range of medicinal and aromatic plants-based secondary metabolites (SMs), bioprocess development for their extraction and bioseparation, a brief overview of their industrial relevance, various tissue culturing strategies, biotechnological approaches to enhance production, scale-up strategies, management of residual biomass post extraction of target SMs is central to the idea of the proposed book. A section will explore the verticals mentioned above. In the next section, the book addresses the approaches for conserving and improving medicinal and aromatic plant genetic resources. In the third section, approaches to managing the post-harvest crop residue and secondary metabolites extracted plant biomass will be thoroughly discussed. The recent integration of artificial intelligence to improve medicinal and aromatic plant research at several levels, including the development and employment of computational approaches to enhance secondary metabolite production, tissue culture, drug design and discovery, and disease treatment, will be included in the fourth section. The book summarizes current research status, gaps in knowledge, agro-industrial potential, waste or residual plant biomass management, conservation strategies, and computational approaches in the area of medicinal and aromatic plants with an aim to translate biotechnological interventions into reality.

This book gives readers a fundamental understanding of the topic of using biochar to mitigate environmental disturbance, water scarcity, soil degradation, and food security in a sustainable way, as well as an overview of new researchable concerns in the field. Biochar, also referred to as "black carbon," encourages plant growth and soil fertility, reduces the need for fertilizer, and lowers soil loss due to erosion. Biochar is a solid material rich in carbon that is created by heating a variety of organic feedstocks in the absence or with little oxygen. Due to its highly porous nature, biochar serves as a sink for atmospheric CO2 in soil and holds onto water and nutrients in surface soil. In addition to providing numerous environmental benefits, biochar can also enhance soil quality and crop output. By transforming agricultural waste into a potent soil enhancer that stores carbon and improves soil fertility, it is possible to increase food security, stop deforestation, and lessen the need for fertilizer.In order to give comprehensive information and analysis on biochar production technology and its consequences in sustainable agriculture and environment management, the authors set out to consolidate information from several sources into a single volume. Toward scientists, decision-makers, and students working toward global sustainability, this book serves as an essential resource and a representation of fundamental and applied knowledge in the field of biochar production and applications.

This book explores the different conventional and biotechnological techniques for enhancing the productivity of industrial crops. The growth of the industrial crop sector has become a widespread global phenomenon that helps rural livelihoods and propels economic development. Contrary to staple crops, industrial crops are cultivated with the intention of being sold for a high profit. Industrial crops are a crucial component of plans to increase food security because they offer the required stability during periods of economic or climatic crises. In order to maintain their livelihood and food security, many farm households balance the advantages and disadvantages of producing food crops and industrial crops. Avoiding land-use rivalry with crops grown for food and feed production is crucial when considering growing industrial crops on agricultural soils.The past several years have seen a rise in the awareness of scholars and decision-makers regarding the immediate and long-term effects of climatic variables on economic, food security, social, and political results. In order to sustain food production with more climate-resilient crops for future generations, genetic variety, both natural and artificial, is crucial. Therefore, addressing the problem of finding a compromise between increasing crop production under a specific set of conditions and reducing the chance of crop failure when conditions change is important and difficult. An assortment of meteorological conditions is used to grow industrial crops. Many are subsistence farmers who run extremely tiny farms with very little agricultural input to produce products that can be sold. It is a significant problem to preserve the variety of these crops and handle all crop culture-related difficulties. By offering the knowledge required to minimize the dangers of industrial crop breeding through managing genetic diversity, the author believe that this book will primarily address a need that has not yet been met in this and other grower groups.

This book serves as a ready reference book for anyone who is interested in the Himalayan geology and apprises the readers with the latest findings. The Himalayan syntaxes compose about one-third of the India-Asia collision zone and encompass a substantial part of the crustal deformation that occurs within the system. The Darjeeling Sikkim Himalaya (DSH) marks the beginning of the Eastern Himalaya, which is the most active orogenic zone, coupled with variable seismicity. It is located between Bhutan to the east and Nepal to the west. In the west, Sikkim shares Kanchenjunga, Earth's third highest mountain, with Nepal, while the ridge line forming Sikkim's eastern border flanks the Yadong-Gulu rift graben. DSH, craved by the river system of Tista, is a large geodynamic laboratory of nature where orogen is still in youth to early mature phases of evolution. Giant-scale endogenous turmoil thoroughly overhauled terrain mostly within the confines of distinct belts or divisions and spectacularly uplifted the terrain in superlative terms. Resting on the foundation of structure, tectonics, geomorphology, stratigraphy, and evolution, the wings of geology extend much further.Several books, mostly having regional approaches of different scales, have been written on the Himalayan geology with specified intentions. Geological Aspects of the DSH is based on more than direct references and succinctly opens a gateway to variable aspects of mineral study, active tectonics, crustal deformation, tectono-stratigraphy, seismicity, sedimentary geology, palaeontology, landslides, and tectonic geomorphology. The book apprises the readers with the latest findings. The book is addressed to university students for their academic needs and to those who are willing to work in Himalayan terrain. The large number of topics covered in this book is hardly available in any other single book so far. Anyone interested in the geology of the Himalaya might use the book as a quick reference. Different Dimensions of Geology and Geomorphology are described in nine key chapters.

This book explores the scientific development in the field of algal-based nanomaterials synthesis, production methods, and commercial and utilization aspects of phyconanomaterials to address a range of problems of humanity. Nanomaterials have been recently explored for and employed in environmental remediation, biomedical applications, agriculture, food industries, energy sectors, cosmetics, biolabeling, and space due to their versatility and wide range of applicability owing to their peculiar material characteristics and other attributes. Their conventional synthesis approaches are replacing green methods as the latter is comparatively economical, energy-efficient, and eco-friendly. Biological entities and derived materials-based nanomaterials synthesis is such a green approach. Using natural systems to synthesize nanomaterials does not leave behind any toxic compounds generally produced as by-products when physical or chemical methods are employed. Phyconanotechnology, a green way of synthesizing nanomaterials, can be used to overcome this issue. In the proposed book, algal diversity-based nanomaterials synthesis and their applications will be presented to the readers.
