This book details successes and problems of wheat storage-protein genetics, and discusses discrepancies in recent experimental data. As such, it will be beneficial for advanced students in plant genetics, and for wheat scientists and breeders.
Abiotic stressors like temperature, drought, and pollutants limit crop growth and agricultural productivity. Microorganisms are natural partners that help plants adapt. This book covers beneficial plant-microbe interactions that mitigate stress and enhance crop performance.
This book is a synthesis of agrochemical management practices for sustainable plant protection. It covers pesticides, growth regulators, post-harvest chemicals, and newer molecules, discussing their chemistry, efficacy, environmental fate, and new methods of pesticide analysis.
This book provides an overview of recent developments in the production and processing of jute and allied fibres, offering insights to improve productivity. It is essential for researchers, students, and stakeholders seeking to generate ideas for future innovations.
Sustainable Soil Management
Leading scientists from across the globe show how sustainable soil management can revert land degradation, improve biodiversity, and mitigate climate change. This book is essential for researchers, farmers, and land managers working toward the theme of one-health for our planet.
The History of Wine as a Medicine
Wine: our oldest medicine. Uncover its 9,500-year history, from its true origins in China to how it can reduce death rates by 50% and dementia by 80%. This groundbreaking book rewrites everything you thought you knew about the health benefits of wine.
Small Farmers for Global Food Security
Modern agriculture has damaged ecosystems and diets. A growing movement of small farmers rejects this, re-creating food systems based on moral ecology—a concept that regenerates nature and serves the common good. We argue they could feed the entire world and eradicate hunger.
This book presents a unique blend of research and global experiences in applying IoT techniques to agricultural production. Learn how to assess plant nutrition and optimize fertilizer doses to improve both the quality and quantity of agricultural production.
Our soil, water, and environment are threatened. Life is dependent on these resources. If the soil is lost, where can we produce food? If water is lost, how will life persist? If the environment is not clean, how will we survive? This book explores how to save them.
Rice is a salt-sensitive, semi-aquatic crop with many adaptations for its environment. How do these adaptations respond to salinity? This book addresses this largely unexplored question, detailing the response of rice to salt stress in its natural habitat.
Hyaenids
How do we differentiate between bone collections made by hyaenas and those of hominids? This study examines three hyaena species, finding that environmental conditions have a critical impact on the gnawing and fragmentation patterns left on bones.
Adoption of Tissue Culture in Horticulture
This unique book examines the adoption of plant tissue culture by farmers. It explores the influence of this commercially successful biotechnology on the social organization of production and social relations at the micro-level.
This book analyzes the production, microbial communities, and safety of Chinese fermented vegetables. It pioneers new theories and breakthroughs in lactic acid bacteria use, serving as a vital reference for researchers and industry.
Chalcidoidea of Turkey (Insecta
This work presents a detailed account of Turkey’s Chalcidoidea fauna, an insect group of paramount agricultural significance. It uncovers 1,024 species, providing comprehensive information on their distribution, hosts, and associations. A valuable resource for researchers.
This book studies arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), a plant biostimulant key for future sustainable agriculture. AMF form symbiotic relations with plants, enhancing nutrient intake, boosting immunity against stress, and improving crop productivity.
Mutagenesis, Cytotoxicity and Crop Improvement
This book sets mutation breeding within a contemporary context, relating it to modern molecular biology. It details techniques to induce mutations at the gene level to improve the productivity of crops, particularly cereals, grains and vegetables.
Explore traditional Chinese ways of eating and the belief that “food and medicine are of the same origin.” This guide details the properties of different food items, serving as a reference for choosing what to eat according to your own physical conditions.
Traditional Sudanese Foods
Traditional Sudanese foods are distinguished by their unique taste and nutritional content. This is the first reference work to focus on their full scope, from composition to preparation and nutritional aspects. This book fills that gap, covering over 43 traditional foods.
Soil degradation and water stress threaten global agriculture. This book presents a comprehensive collection of research on harnessing plant–microbe interactions and Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) to mitigate abiotic stress and enhance crop performance.
Unlock the future of food processing. This guide details emerging techniques—from high-pressure processing to microencapsulation—that enhance quality, safety, and sustainability while meeting consumer demands. An essential reference for food scientists and innovators.
