In addition to general...
Plant Biotechnology and Molecular Markers
The genesis of the volume, Plant Biotechnology and Molecular Markers, has been the occasion of the retirement of Professor Sant Saran Bhojwani from the Department of Botany, University of Delhi. For Professor Bhojwani, retirement only means relinquishing the chair as being a researcher and a teacher which has always been a way of life to him. Professor Bhojwani has been an ardent practitioner of modern plant biology and areas like Plant Biotechnology and Molecular Breeding have been close to his heart. The book contains original as well as review articles contributed by his admirers and associates who are experts in their area of research. While planning this contributory book our endeavour ...
Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics in Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods
Functional foods and nutraceuticals have received considerable interest in the past decade largely due to increasing consumer awareness of the health benefits associated with food. Diet in human health is no longer a matter of simple nutrition: consumers are more proactive and increasingly interested in the health benefits of functional foods and their role in the prevention of illness and chronic conditions. This, combined with an aging population that focuses not only on longevity but also quality of life, has created a market for functional foods and nutraceuticals. A fully updated and revised second edition, Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics in Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods reflects the recent upsurge in "omics" technologies and features 48 chapters that cover topics including genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epigenetics, peptidomics, nutrigenomics and human health, transcriptomics, nutriethics and nanotechnology. This cutting-edge volume, written by a panel of experts from around the globe reviews the latest developments in the field with an emphasis on the application of these novel technologies to functional foods and nutraceuticals.
The Yogini - A Bride in need
A traditional family from the tiny town of Bihar faced difficulties in the marriage of their only male child. The marriage failed thrice for different reasons. A well-qualified IItian lad, despite being well settled in a public undertaking in Bombay as an engineer, failed in his social life. He became frustrated. So were his parents. He left his job after ten years of a brilliant career at ONGC and joined a yoga ashram in Rishikesh run by a yogini named Gargi of American origin. He remained there for six months. And a day came when he was proposed by Gargi. Marriage was solemnized in Haridwar in presence of both the families--- one from India and the other from America. And her visit to a tiny town of Khizersarai as a bride got accolades for her not as a yogini but as a yakshini as fortune returned to the family of Shwetabh, the Hero of the novel, winking at the unfortunate moments of the past.
Silicon in Plants
In the present era, rapid industrialization and urbanization has resulted in unwanted physiological, chemical, and biological changes in the environment that have harmful effects on crop quality and productivity. This situation is further worsened by the growing demand for food due to an ever increasing population. This forces plant scientists and agronomists to look forward for alternative strategies to enhance crop production and produce safer, healthier foods. Biotic and abiotic stresses are major constraints to crop productivity and have become an important challenge to agricultural scientists and agronomists due to the fact that both stress factors considerably reduce agriculture produc...
Good Bye, Industrial Waste
: This book is research-based, in which studies highlighted the current polluting status of water. It has been observed and concluded that the ever-growing industry setups in industrial areas are simply releasing wastewater into streams without any pre-treatment. The resultant quality of receiving water streams is getting a high load of pollutants which is lethal to the living creatures getting exposed to it. In the present study, it has been recorded that industries like oil, milk, and other refineries are releasing biowaste material prominently containing oil & other waste traces. The mixing of oil with water severely disturbed the ecosystem and hence needs to be handled with greater atten...
Sustainable Solutions for Elemental Deficiency and Excess in Crop Plants
This book covers all aspects of deficiency of essential elements and excess of toxic ones in crop plants. The metal deficiency and toxicity are the two sides of same problem that are threatening to sustainable agricultural growth. The book presents prospective strategies for the management of elemental nutrition of crop plants. Chapters are arranged in a manner so as to develop a lucid picture of the topic beginning from basics to advanced research. The content is supplemented with flow charts and figures to make it convenient for readers to holistically grasp the concepts. It will be a value addition for students, research scholars and professionals in understanding the basics as well latest developments in the area of metal deficiency and excess in crop plants.
Genomics of Plant–Pathogen Interaction and the Stress Response
Plants are an indispensable part of human and animal lives for nutrition and health. But pests, diseases and abiotic stress adversely affect crop yield, which ultimately places significant pressure on society to provide food to an increasing population. Moreover, it also encourages increased chemical/pesticide usage on crops, which we see in the biomagnification of toxic and hazardous compounds polluting water bodies, soil and the environment. This condition will continue to worsen in the future due to the resistance-acquiring ability of pathogens against plant defense and chemical treatments. In addition, environmental disturbances and consumer health issues are being reported more promptly...
Health Adda
Despite spectacular advances in medical sciences, navigating the road-trip of life and surmounting the inevitable health bumps that come during the journey, is increasingly becoming an intelligent individual’s do-it-alone venture. This book is a travelogue touching a wide range of health topics: from how to use the internet wisely, make your home medical kit, adopt lifestyle and food choices based on evidence, our habits and health indicators that need a watch, our gut health and stress levels, spot the dark corner of our mind, and many more. It acquaints the reader with common health challenges such as digestive and liver ailments, problems of the heart, diabetes, sleep disorders and cancers, drawing from anecdotes, real life stories and from world of news. It describes some boundaries that modern medicine is trying to explore that challenge our attitudes. And finally presents to you the human animal in a white coat called ‘doctor’. This book, grounded in science, is a chatty read on health issues, with insights and anecdotes, spiced with empathy and a dash of philosophy.
