Phytoremediation is the process that uses plants to remove pollutants from soils. These pollutants are stored in the edible parts of plants and, if they are consumed above a certain level, they become a health risk for humans and animals. This book is a critical review of phytoremediation, its direct or indirect effects on food products, and the risks posed by this cost-effective technology in food safety. It shows how different plants are suited for phytoremediation, explains the role of toxicants in the environment, and analyses their effects and risks in the food chain at a global level. It also reviews the extraction methods of toxicants from plants after they are exposed to phytoremedia...
These conference proceedings cover recent advances in the field of developmental biology in plants. The developmental processes explored here are mainly focused on photomorphogenesis, flowering time control and the circadian clock. The book will appeal to biologists, academicians, scientists, researchers and students, as well as readers exploring the role of light in controlling various indispensable physiological processes in plants, such as flowering, circadian clock regulations and hormonal regulations. The volume also emphasises several interrelated developmental processes, such as disease development, and molecular events, including the degradation of proteins.
Role of Green Chemistry in Ecosystem Restoration to Achieve Environmental Sustainability deals with current challenges of environmental problems along with the approaches of environmental sustainability in alliance with green chemistry. The book shows how to lessen the impact on the environment by maintaining a balance between society, the environment, and the economy, all of which are regarded as fundamental pillars of sustainability. Furthermore, policymakers and scholars will gain insights into how to develop and explore innovative techniques for achieving sustainable development goals. This book is unique in the field of environmental sustainability, as it is based on green chemistry concepts. - Addresses root causes of prominent environmental problems, including environmental management, water sustainability and agricultural sustainability - Discusses recent knowledge about the concepts of environmental sustainability - Highlights various approaches of green chemistry to achieve sustainable development goals
The residual wilderness & beauty of nature excites not only me but each one of us from our core & any damage to the 'mother earth' wittingly or unwittingly by our own actions certainly move us & create an intrinsic desire to protect our nature & environment. Right from nomadic or pastoral economy to the settled economy & to this date of so called unbridled development for our own comfort, we have been exploiting our nature with unbridled greed & impunity without realizing the fact that these dastardly acts of ours inflict irreparable damage to our 'mother earth' & environment. From industry to chemistry & from desires to development - all lead somehow or other to air, water, soil & several o...
With contributions from a broad range of leading researchers, this book focuses on advances and innovations in rice aroma, flavor, and fragrance research. Science and Technology of Aroma, Flavor, and Fragrance in Rice is specially designed to present an abundance of recent research, advances, and innovations in this growing field. Aroma is one of the diagnostic aspects of rice quality that can determine acceptance or rejection of rice before it is tested. Aroma is also considered as an important property of rice that indicates its preferable high quality and price in the market. An assessment of known data reveals that more than 450 chemical compounds have been documented in various aromatic...
Giligadu: the lost days, by the 2018 Sahitya Akademi Award winner Chitra Mudgal, is a multi-layered novelette short in length, yet deep in meaning and messages for urban India. It is unique in the subtle way it conveys, both to the aged (who chafe at the apparent loss of respect and control) and to the not-so-old (who deserve to live their life on their terms), through the pen of a creative genius, a dignified way out of this two-pronged dilemma: a bold break with traditions and setting new societal rules. It can prove a relief to the mini-wars waged within families and be a recipe for lasting peace and amicable relations. Set in a time frame of 13 days, with two old men as the main Characters, it analyses the relevance of older values in present day life and the need to change with the times. A page-turner that leaves the reader satisfied and encourages introspection.
