The Future of Rice Demand: Quality Beyond Productivity
This book aims to provide an overview of the challenges and available technologies to improve rice and provide a response to the challenge posed by increasing world population and the resultant food shortages. Nutritional aspects of rice products and omics and the molecular technologies currently being used are covered in depth. As a staple food for over 50% of the world ́s population, an estimated 9 billion people will need to be fed by 2050, and healthy and uncontaminated foods need to reach consumers in developed and developing countries.This makes quality beyond productivity incredibly important and is one of the overriding themes of this work.

Genomics and Breeding for Climate-Resilient Crops
Climate change is expected to have a drastic impact on agronomic conditions including temperature, precipitation, soil nutrients, and the incidence of disease pests, to name a few. To face this looming threat, significant progress in developing new breeding strategies has been made over the last few decades. The second volume of Genomics and Breeding for Climate-Resilient Crops describes various genomic and breeding approaches for the genetic improvement of the major target traits. Topics covered include: flowering time; root traits; cold, heat and drought tolerance; water use efficiency; flooding and submergence tolerance; disease and insect resistance; nutrient use efficiency; nitrogen fixation; carbon sequestration; and greenhouse gas emissions.
The Role of Gasotransmitters In the Amelioration of Arsenic Toxicity in Plants
The Role of Gasotransmitters In the Amelioration of Arsenic Toxicity in Plants: Biology and Biotechnology, in the Plant Gasotransmitter series, provides research on how gasotransmitters can reduce the stress faced by plants through arsenic contamination. With a strong focus on metabolic processes, the book presents the various pathways and mechanisms associated with gasotransmitters as part of arsenic amelioration. Initial chapters discuss the effects of arsenic on the plant genome and metabolome, as well as the mechanisms behind the uptake and translocation of arsenic in plants. The book then takes a deep dive into the role of gasotransmitters, highlighting plant physiological responses. This is an essential resource for students, researchers and agronomists interested in plant physiology, biochemistry and plant hormones. - Explains the physiological, biochemical and molecular aspects of how gasotransmitters can mitigate stress by arsenic in plants - Presents how arsenic is found in the environment, along with associated problems with arsenic contamination - Highlights the impact of food processing on minimizing arsenic and other potentially toxic elements in edible plants
Arsenic in Drinking Water and Food
Arsenic contamination poses a major environmental problem, especially in Southeast Asian countries like Bangladesh and India. Threatening the health of millions of people due to arsenic’s toxicity and carcinogenicity, the major routes of arsenic exposure for humans are either through drinking water or crops. Rice is the crop most affected by arsenic owing to its cultivation in major arsenic contaminated areas, biogeochemical factors in the soil during rice growth, and specific features of rice that enable it take up more arsenic than other crop plants. This book addresses the problem of arsenic by pursuing a holistic approach. It presents the status quo in different parts of the world (Nor...
The Wild Oryza Genomes
This book focuses on the latest genome sequencing of the 25 wild Oryza species, public and private genomic resources, and their impact on genetic improvement research. It also addresses the untapped reservoir of agronomically important traits in wild Oryza species. Rice is a model crop plant that is frequently used to address several basic questions in plant biology, yet its wild relatives offer an untapped source of agronomically important alleles that are absent in the rice gene pool. The genus Oryza is extremely diverse, as indicated by a wide range of chromosome numbers, different ploidy levels and genome sizes. After a 13-year gap from the first sequencing of rice in the 2002, the genomes of 11 wild Oryza species have now been sequenced and more will follow. These vast genomic resources are extremely useful for addressing several basic questions on the origin of the genus, evolutionary relationships between the species, domestication, and environmental adaptation, and also help to substantiate molecular breeding and pre-breeding work to introgress useful characters horizontally from wild species into cultivated rice.
Sustainable Solutions for Food Security
This volume is the first centralized source of technological and policy solutions for sustainable agriculture and food systems resilience in the face of climate change. The editors have compiled a comprehensive collection of the latest tested, replicable green technologies and approaches for food security, including smart crops and new agricultural paradigms, sustainable natural resources management, and strategies for risk assessment and governance. Studies from resource-constrained countries with vulnerable populations are emphasized, with contributions on multisector partnership from development professionals. Debates concerning access to climate-smart technologies, intellectual property rights, and international negotiations on technology transfer are also included. The editors are, respectively, a public health physician, a development professional and an environmental scientist. They bring their varied perspectives together to curate a holistic volume that will be useful for policy makers, scientists, community-based organizations, international organizations and researchers across the world.
Prozess- und nutzerorientierte Bedarfsplanung von Krankenhausgebäuden
Die Krankenhauslandschaft in Deutschland befindet sich in einem tiefgreifenden Wandel. Seit Jahren ist die Anzahl der Häuser rückläufig und viele zentrale Indikatoren haben sich deutlich verändert. Als Ursachen für den Wandel sind Megatrends zu erkennen, die eine Herausforderung für die Zukunftsentwicklung darstellen. Die bauliche Bedarfsplanung ist in diesem Zusammenhang ein wichtiges Steuerungselement für die Entwicklung von Krankenhausimmobilien. Auf Basis der Ergebnisse von Experteninterviewserien und einer Literaturanalyse werden in diesem Buch Methoden für spezielle Anwendungsfälle abgeleitet und erste Ideen zur Anpassung von Bedarfsplanungsmethoden an konkrete Bauvorhaben im Krankenhausbau entwickelt. Das Buch bietet somit eine Hilfestellung für Klinikbetreiber und Bedarfsplaner für die Vorgehensweise und Schwerpunktsetzung bei Baumaßnahmen an Krankenhausgebäuden. Gleichzeitig ist das Buch auch für die Forschung relevant, das es eine Grundlage für die zukünftige Anpassung und Weiterentwicklung von Bedarfsplanungsmethoden ist.
