Industrial Crops Improvement
Biotechnological Approaches for Sustainable Agricultural Development

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
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.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book offers up-to-date research on genome editing and omics technologies from renowned academics with established backgrounds from throughout the globe. The world population is expected to touch 9–10 billion by 2050 and to feed the growing population, 50% more food must be produced globally than is currently produced. Nonetheless, it is a difficult challenge to increase the food output of the currently existing crops on available land. Over the past few decades, traditional crop enhancement techniques like plant breeding and other agricultural technology have made a significant contribution to food and nutritional security. With the use of strong technologies, genome editing strategies can significantly improve the productivity and efficiency of current agricultural practices. Discovering the underlying mechanisms influencing features of economic value has been made possible through genome editing through CRISPR/Cas9, primer and base editing, and OMICs through genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, and phenomics.This book provides a wealth of information on omics and genome editing approaches and their application to develop abiotic, biotic, and climate-tolerant crops, as well as RNA interference, next-generation sequencing, and metabolomics for sustainable crop production. Researchers are actively using both genome editing and omics for crop improvement; however, there is limited literature offered in a single source. Undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders will find this book to be an invaluable resource.

Plant-Microbe Interaction
Sustainable Agriculture and Environmental Management
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book offers a thorough understanding of the useful, functional, and intentional applications of plant–microbe interactions. The majority of interactions between microbes and plants are mutualistic, and they help to improve the condition of the soil and the surrounding environment. The use of this in sustainable environmental management is one important feature. Through a process known as phytoremediation, plants are known to be involved in the repair of polluted environments. This process is typically more effective when carried out in conjunction with microorganisms that live in the plant environment. These microbes and plants have qualities that make them excellent choices for environmentally damaged areas that need to be sustainably remedied. Bioremediation and phytoremediation have been used to remove various organic and inorganic contaminants from the environment. Certain characteristics of the microbes associated with plants have a selective effect on plant growth, and as a result, the plants carry out the detoxification process through various mechanisms. These drawbacks include the fact that contaminant-induced stress typically results in low/slow rates of seed germination, plant development, and declines in plant biomass. The book provides examples of how plant–microbe interactions might be used in an environmentally sustainable way to degrade contaminants and restore strained soils. It also determines the causes of the microbial-based inoculants' unsatisfactory effectiveness. It has been discussed how biotechnological methods can be used to build next-generation bioformulations that can overcome previous obstacles and meet new problems. If correctly utilized, this amazing relationship between microbes and plants will not only improve crop yields and help restore desolate places, but it will also improve the quality of life for everyone on Earth. This book is intended to be a practical book for researchers and students working in the fields of agriculture, microbiology, plant science, and environmental science.
