This book explores recent advances on the use of microbes for agri-forestry biotechnological applications. It provides technical concepts and discussions on the use of microorganisms for processes such as bioprocessing, bioremediation, soil enhancement, aquaponics advances, and plant-host symbiosis. The book provides an overview of the microbial approach to the tools and processes used in agriculture and forestry that make or modify products, improve plants for specific uses, and make use of livestock in agricultural systems. The authors discuss the main process conditions that enhance agri-forestry applications with the use of microbes and introduce the use of genetically modified (GM) microbes in agrobiotechnology. Finally, the authors explore the main technological advances in the production of secondary metabolites with potential applications in agri-forestry. This book is intended for biotechnologists, biologists, bioengineers, biochemists, microbiologists, food technologists, enzymologists, and related researchers.
Progress in Organosilicon Chemistry comprises more than thirty papers presented by many of the world's most eminent organosilicon specialists at the Tenth International Symposium on Organosilicon Chemistry held in Poznan, Poland in August 1993. The conference marked the fiftieth anniversary of the discovery and exploration of "direct synthesis." As much attention today is directed beyond silicon polymers, chemists have become involved with the use of elementary silicon and its applications, including ultrapure silicon in transistors and computers, silicon precursors of polymers, and other silicon-based materials as well as fine chemicals. This book provides an overview of organosilicon chemistry, including organic and inorganic chemistry of silicon, silicon polymers and oligomers; theoretical and structural chemistry of silicon; silicon-based materials and their applications; silicon in organic synthesis; mechanistic organosilicon chemistry; and bio- and environmental organosilicon chemistry. This diverse range of topics makes the book a valuable reference for chemists working in both applied and theoretical chemistry.

Recent Progress in Mesostructured Materials is a selection of oral and poster communications presented during the 5th International Mesostructured Materials Symposium (5th IMMS2006). Authorized by International Mesostructured Material Association (IMMA) and hosted by the Fudan University, China. The scope of this involved field covers both traditional inorganic mesostructured molecular sieves and mesostructured materials like organic polymers, metals, organic-inorganic nanocomposites, and ordered mesoporous carbons, the hot topics in chemistry, crystallization, structure, liquid crystalline, catalysis and materials science. This symposium provided a forum for the presentation of the most nov...
Feeding the growing world population will require a significant increase in agricultural production. However, food overproduction needs to be achieved while crops and plants face salinized soils, water deficits, lesser arable lands, drought, and climate change, among other factors. Salinity impairs plant functioning at multiple levels. For instance, excess salt contents cause higher osmotic pressures, nutritional disorders, seed germination inhibition, and growth suppression. Plants respond to this aggression by activating several metabolic pathways, including but not limited to regulating hormone-dependent processes, repressing growth-related genes, and eliciting the antioxidant response sy...
