The plant metabolome is highly complex, being composed of over 200,000 metabolites. The characterization of these small molecules has been crucial to study plant growth and development as well as their response to environmental changes. The potential of metabolomics in plant research, particularly if applied to crop plants, is also extremely valuable in the discovery of biomarkers and in the improvement of crop yield and quality. This Frontiers Research Topic addresses many applications of metabolomics to crop research, based on different analytical platforms, including mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance. It comprises 13 articles from 109 authors that show the importance and the contribution of metabolomics in the analysis of crop’s traceability and genetic variation, in the study of fruit development, and in the understanding of the plant’s response to the environment and to different biotic and abiotic stresses.
This detailed collection focuses on current methodologies for studying various crop diseases. The book explores phytopathogen detection, host-pathogen interactions at the earliest stages of colonization, RNA-seq analyses, as well as host responses downstream of, or coincidental to, gene expression and a newly established protocol for gene editing of Medicago sativa. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Plant-Pathogen Interactions serves as an ideal guide for researchers working in the vital area of plant diseases.
This book Introduces the extensive applications of metabolomics from all possible areas of research and development so that not only an undergraduate can understand the advancement of metabolomics, but an entrepreneur can harness the knowledge to address possible problems to make a perfect tool to address their research question. Topics covered include the role of metabolomics in the development of agriculture, plant pathology, and their applications; the generalized application of the metabolomics and use of related technologies in various sectors of industries; and the future of metabolomics and upcoming related technologies that can fill the gap between different -omics and their applications for the betterment of humankind. This is an ideal book for university professors, researchers, and advanced-level scientists who are exploring different avenues in metabolomics. Availability of this concise information in one place will aid scientists by expanding their arsenal of techniques and can be helpful to bring more collaborations and to identify the expert at the global level.
The green revolution led to the development of improved varieties of crops, especially cereals, and since then, classical or molecular breeding has resulted in the creation of economically valuable species. Thanks to recent developments in genetic engineering, it has become possible to introduce genes from different sources, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, mice and humans, to plants. This technology has made the scientific community aware of the critical role of transgenics, not only as a means of producing stress tolerant crops but also as a platform for the production of therapeutics through molecular farming. This book discusses the commercial applications of plant transgenic technologi...
Emergent Pollutants in Freshwater Plankton Communities introduces the environmental and health monitoring techniques for emergent pollutants and their influences on the community structure of lentic freshwater plankton. It highlights the challenges posed by the improper treatment or disposal of industrial pharmaceutical wastes, which could cause numerous related environmental and health risks. It also suggests possible sustainable mitigation techniques for the treatment of emerging pollutants. Further, it addresses the issues of regulatory and monitoring frameworks, and reviews laws governing the management and disposal of wastes. This book will help students, researchers, and professionals ...
Securitisation has survived the threats that emerged in the aftermath of the collapses of Enron, WorldCom, and Parmalat. Today, global securitisation markets continue to go from strength to strength, particularly as regards the evolution of new synthetic structures and the application of securitisation technology to fresh asset classes. This Yearbook focuses on the latest innovations in securitisation, including the securitisation of derivatives and alternative asset classes, and also exotic variations on the securitisation of well-established asset classes. Twenty-nine distinguished authors all of them active in the global securitisation markets as advisers, structurers, facilitators, or re...
