Biodiversity of Vegetable Crops, A Living Heritage
Intensive agriculture has generally resulted in higher productivity, but also in a trend towards decreasing levels of agro-biodiversity, which represents a key point in ensuring the adaptability and resilience of agro-ecosystems in the global challenge to produce more and better food in a sustainable way. The biodiversity of vegetable crops includes genetic diversity—both as species diversity (interspecific diversity) and as a diversity of genes within a species (intraspecific diversity) with regard to the vegetable varieties grown—and the diversity of agro-ecosystems (agro-biodiversity). The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality research papers addressing recent progr...
Physiological Growth Responses to Light in Controlled Environment Agriculture
Light is the primary driving force for photosynthesis and thus dictates carbon assimilation, biomass production, and yield in plants. Light also plays an important role in a myriad of physiological and biochemical processes in plants, from eliciting specific gene responses to whole-plant phenomics. The lighting environment is especially important in controlled environment agriculture (CEA) as it supplements or fully replaces natural light to improve growth and quality. Due to the advancements in lighting technologies and the rapid growth of the CEA industry, lighting research has been propelled into the forefront of the plant science field. Unlike organisms in the animal kingdom, plants are ...

Seed-Borne Diseases of Agricultural Crops: Detection, Diagnosis & Management
The global population is increasing rapidly, and feeding the ever-increasing population poses a serious challenge for agriculturalists around the world. Seed is a basic and critical input in agriculture to ensure global food security. Roughly 90 percent of the crops grown all over the world are propagated by seed. However, seed can also harbour and spread pathogens, e.g. fungi, bacteria, nematodes, viruses etc., which cause devastating diseases. Seed-borne pathogens represent a major threat to crop establishment and yield. Hence, timely detection and diagnosis is a prerequisite for their effective management. The book "Seed-Borne Diseases of Agricultural Crops: Detection, Diagnosis & Managem...
