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.
Advances in Crop Physiology
In an era of climate uncertainty, this book bridges plant physiology and practical agronomy. It explores the science of agricultural resilience, equipping readers with tools to optimize crop performance and build a more sustainable, productive agricultural future.
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.
Biotechnology of Neglected and Underutilized Legume Crops
This book shines a spotlight on the hidden heroes of agriculture: underutilized legumes. From drought-resistant beans to nutrient-rich pulses, these crops offer real solutions for sustainable farming, global nutrition, and restoring ecosystems.
Authored by experts, this guide covers seed biology, from physiology and production to storage and quality enhancement. It addresses practical applications for improving seed performance and stress tolerance. An essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals.
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.
These proceedings cover recent advances in plant developmental biology, focusing on photomorphogenesis, flowering time control, and the circadian clock. Explore the role of light in controlling flowering, hormonal regulations, and other key molecular events.
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.
