The Role of Salicylic Acid and Nitric Oxide in Plant Heat Response

This book explores the intricate world of plant signaling by unraveling the synergistic roles of salicylic acid and nitric oxide in plant adaptation. This captivating exploration illuminates the pivotal roles of salicylic acid (SA) and nitric oxide (NO) as master regulators of plant responses to changing environmental dynamics. SA, a phenolic maestro, wields its mastery in steering metabolic pathways, stimulating plants’ tolerance against abiotic stresses. Meanwhile, the enigmatic nitrogen monoxide (NO) emerges as a redox regulator, modulating growth and physiology amid high temperature stress. NO's role as a second messenger resonates through physiological processes, igniting antioxidant defenses, modulating osmolyte levels, and harmonizing stress-responsive genes. This volume seeks to highlight the covert alliance between SA and NO, more specifically their potential collaboration in alleviating high temperature-induced oxidative stress. The book offers basic yet enchanting voyage into the nexus of plant adaptation.

Instant Notes Vegetable Science

Vegetable is considered one of the most important commodities in agriculture and an impressive growth has been recorded in vegetable production since independence, which was merely 5.8 tons per hectare. However, there is need of to increase the vegetable productivity to meet the increasing demand of the growing populations. Challenges of shrinking land and water resources with a threat of climate change need an effective support in term of human resources vis-a-vis financial support for the development of technologies. Development of vegetable hybrids embedded with gene for higher yield and resistance to biotic/ abiotic stresses; production and protection technologies for mitigating the prob...

Ecophysiology and Biochemistry of Cyanobacteria

This book emphasizes and presents the latest information on eco-physiology and biochemistry of cyanobacteria with special emphasis on their biodiversity, molecular mechanisms of some important biological processes and survival mechanisms under myriad of environmental conditions as well as bioremediation. Cyanobacteria are the most dominant prokaryotic floras on the Earth’s surface, and are of great importance in terms of ecological, economical and evolutionary perspectives. They are oldest groups of photosynthetic autotrophs, which create oxygenic atmosphere for the development and sustainability of ecosystems with different life forms. The book presents an integrative approach to their po...

  • Publisher: Springer

This book contributes to our understanding of linkages between carbon management and local livelihoods by taking stock of the existing evidence and drawing on field experiences in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH) region, an area that provides fresh water to more than 2 billion people and supports the world’s largest population of pastoralists and millions of livestock. This edited volume addresses two main questions: 1. Does carbon management offer livelihood opportunities or present risks, and what are they? 2. Do the attributes of carbon financing alter the nature of livelihood opportunities and risks? Chapters analyze the most pressing deficiencies in understanding carbon storage in both soils and in above ground biomass, and the related social and economic challenges associated with carbon sequestration projects. Chapters deliver insights to both academics from diverse disciplines (natural sciences, social sciences and engineering) and to policy makers.

Sustainable Agriculture in the Era of Climate Change

Under ongoing climate changes, natural and cultivated habitats of major crops are being continuously disturbed. Such conditions impose and exacerbate abiotic and biotic stressors. Drought, salinity, flood, cold, heat, heavy metals, metalloids, oxidants, irradiation, etc. are important abiotic stressors, while diseases and infections caused by plant pathogens, such as fungal agents, bacteria and viruses, are major biotic stresses. In many instances, stresses have become the major limiting factor for agricultural productivity and exert detrimental role on growth and yield of the crops. To help feed an ever increasing world population and to ensure global food security, concerted efforts from s...
