Mycorrhizal Fungi Affecting Ecosystem Efficiency: I. Stress

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are symbiotic to most terrestrial plants. The fungi are an important part of ecosystem affecting its efficiency. Among the most important effects of mycorrhizal fungi on the ecosystem efficiency is by alleviating different stresses such as pathogens, drought, salinity, compaction, etc. The fungi are able to enhance plant growth by increasing the uptake of water and nutrients and by producing plant hormones. Accordingly, in this book some of the latest finding and progress related to the effects of mycorrhizal fungi on the efficiency of ecosystem by alleviating soil stresses have been presented.

The significant role of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi on the alleviation of salinity stress affecting the efficiency of ecosystem has been presented. The fungi are able to alleviate the stress by increasing the uptake of water and nutrients by the host plant, production of different products including plant hormones and interaction with the other soil microbes. Some of the most recent and important details have been presented and analysed. Mohammad Miransari AbtinBerkeh Ltd. Company

Crop Improvement

The improvement of crop species has been a basic pursuit since cultivation began thousands of years ago. To feed an ever increasing world population will require a great increase in food production. Wheat, corn, rice, potato and few others are expected to lead as the most important crops in the world. Enormous efforts are made all over the world to document as well as use these resources. Everybody knows that the introgression of genes in wheat provided the foundation for the “Green Revolution”. Later also demonstrated the great impact that genetic resources have on production. Several factors are contributing to high plant performance under different environmental conditions, therefore an effective and complementary use of all available technological tools and resources is needed to meet the challenge.

  • Publisher: CRC Press

This volume focuses on filamentous fungi and highlights the advances of the past decade, both in methodology and in the understanding of genomic organization and regulation of gene and pathway expression. The approaches and techniques of molecular biology enable us to ask and answer fundamental questions about many aspects of fungal biology, and open the way to the directed manipulation of fungal genetics. Moreover, this book describes the development and advancement of fungal genes and the ways in which these are being exploited in species of economic importance either in biotechnology or in biochemistry.

Bacteria in Agrobiology: Stress Management

The future of agriculture strongly depends on our ability to enhance productivity without sacrificing long-term production potential. An ecologically and economically sustainable strategy is the application of microorganisms, such as the diverse bacterial species of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB). The use of these bio-resources for the enhancement of crop productivity is gaining worldwide importance. "Bacteria in Agrobiology: Stress Management" covers the major aspects on PGPR in amelioration of both abiotic and biotic stresses. PGPR mediated in priming of plant defense reactions, nutrient availability and management in saline and cold environment, hormonal signaling, ACC deaminase and its role in ethylene regulation under harsh conditions are suitably described.

Several studies have demonstrated that mycorrhizal associations play vital role in plant nutrition. They greatly increase the efficiency of nutrient and water uptake, enhance resistance to pathogens, and buffer plant species against several environmental stresses and drought resistance. Mycorrhizae also improve plant growth and survival in soils co

Environmental Adaptations and Stress Tolerance of Plants in the Era of Climate Change

Climate change is a complex phenomenon with a wide range of impacts on the environment. Biotic and abiotic stress are a result of climate change. Abiotic stress is caused by primary and secondary stresses which are an impediment to plant productivity. Prolonged exposure to these stresses results in altered metabolism and damage to biomolecules. Plants evolve defense mechanisms to withstand these stresses, e.g. synthesis of osmolytes, osmoprotectants, and antioxidants. Stress responsive genes and gene products including expressed proteins are implicated in conferring tolerance to the plant. This volume will provide the reader with a wide spectrum of information, including vital references. It...
