Abiotic Stress in Plants: Sustainability and Productivity

Climate change has caused fluctuations in the frequency and severity of droughts and floods, favoring extended periods of drought and extreme rainfall, rises in temperature, and associated with anthropic actions, has triggered other stressful abiotic effects, which have threatened terrestrial ecosystems and, especially agroecosystems. Considering the current environmental scenario, studies related to cultural practices with native or cultivated species have been carried out with the aim of guaranteeing sustainable development, conservation of biodiversity and natural resources, and the guarantee of food sovereignty.

The Following Story

Socrates is a former classics teacher at a lycee. Dr Strabon is a travel writer and Mussert is a misanthrope, but also the man behind the masks of these other incongruous alter egos. In this novel, Nooteboom illustrates the polarities and similarities of scientific reality and philosophical theory.

Aspectos ecofisiológicos, morfológicos da anatomia foliar em espécies florestais amazônicas

Esta obra tem por objetivo contribuir com a melhor compreensão de características ecofisiológicas do desenvolvimento e anatomia de espécies florestais na região amazônica. Copila resultados interessantes de como algumas espécies florestais respondem à variação de luz em condições ambientes, como dossel superior de florestas, e em simulações ambientais em casa de vegetação. Reunindo uma coletânea de artigos que envolvem respostas fotossintéticas a diferentes níveis de luz em que as folhas se desenvolvem, além de mostrar o desenvolvimento de estruturas anatômicas em condições naturais nos distintos períodos sazonais na região da Amazônia Central. Buscou-se despertar e...

Phytoremediation in Food Safety

  • Type: Book

  • Published: 2024-09-13

  • Publisher: CRC Press

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...

Control of Leaf Growth

  • Type: Book

  • Published: 1985

  • Publisher: CUP Archive

First published in 1985, this book covers the physiological and environmental factors that regulate leaf growth. It opens with a consideration of the importance to the plant of leaf size, form and development, and then divides naturally into two sections: the first covers the intrinsic factors within the leaf that influence development, including solute and hormonal status, cellular components, and energy transducing systems; the second considers the role of some major environmental variables in the regulation of leaf growth, including temperature, light, water and nutrients, atmospheric influences and the interactive effects of climatic variables.

Nutraceuticals

Nutraceuticals: Efficacy, Safety and Toxicity, Second Edition, brings together everything that is currently known about nutraceuticals and their potential toxic effects. The book introduces readers to nutraceuticals, herbal medicines, Ayurvedic medicines, prebiotics, probiotics, adaptogens, and their uses and specific applications. This essential reference discusses the mechanism of action for the judicious use of these nutraceuticals and the best tools for their evaluation before detailing the safety and toxicity of nutraceuticals and interactions with other therapeutic drugs. Finally, and crucially, regulatory aspects from around the world are covered. Completely revised and updated, this ...

  • Publisher: Unknown

The "Path" to attain liberation ("marga"), a central notion of Buddhist praxis and thought, designates specific patterns of behaviour and methods of practice connected with transformative powers and soteriological goals. This volume shows the plurality and complexity of Buddhist views on the Path found in Buddhist doctrinal, narrative and philosophical literature, epigraphic sources and iconographic programmes from South Asia. Through new analyses-rather than general pictures-of different kinds of sources, this volume examines how the Path was interpreted, discussed and represented in Buddhist traditions of South Asia. It traces the contours of ideologies of the Path that have variously influenced the formation and development of Buddhist identities in the religious and intellectual landscape of premodern South Asia and contributes to revisiting modern descriptions of the Buddhist Path. Contributors are: Naomi Appleton, Malcolm David Eckel, Vincent Eltschinger, Anna Filigenzi, Rupert Gethin, Jowita Kramer, Daniel M. Stuart, Peter-Daniel Szanto, Vincent Tournier and Nobuyoshi Yamabe.

  • Publisher: Springer

The functional analysis of plant-microbe interactions has re-emerged in the past 10 years due to spectacular advances in integrative study models. This book summarizes basic and technical information related to the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) belonging to the genus Azospirillum, considered to be one of the most representative PGPR last 40 years. We include exhaustive information about the general microbiology of genus Azospirillum, their identification strategies; the evaluation of plant growth promoting mechanisms, inoculants technology and agronomic use of these bacteria and some special references to the genetic technology and use.

  • Publisher: CRC Press

This volume provides a synthesis of recent work on evolutionary aspects of metal tolerance in plants. It presents contributions from scientists with a wide diversity of expertise. It covers the evolution of heavy metal tolerance in groups of plants, fungi, and protists. The book discusses the physiological, genetic and molecular aspects of metal tolerances. It deals with the evolution of populations in metal-contaminated environments. Several chapters include tolerance in animals in order to place the rest of the book on plants in proper perspective. This publication is an exciting addition for scientists with both applied and basic interest in metal toxicity and tolerance. It is of importance to those in vegetation ecology, land reclamation, agronomy, physiology, population ecology, ecological genetics, evolutionary biology and molecular biology.
