Plant Responses to Hyperarid Desert Environments
This book provides a comprehensive discussion on plant responses in hyperarid regions of Egypt, China, Mexico, and Pakistan. It describes their location, physiographic features, accidental vegetation along two transects, endangered vegetation species, human impact, and variety of plant types (e.g. climbing, succulent, and parasitic). Studies on biotic and abiotic interactions, plant biodiversity, and soil-plant relationships are also covered. Covering a wide range of plant conditions and adaptations, this book analyzes what happens when plants must endure very high temperatures and aridity. Plants have adapted by evolving their physical structure to store and conserve water. Examples are the...
Climate-Smart and Resilient Food Systems and Security
Zusammenfassung: This contributed book, as a part of a series of CERES publications, contributes to the scientific debate about the interlinkages between climate change, environment, and food systems. It highlights the opportunities to accelerate the transformation of such systems within the perspective of sustainable, inclusive, and climate-smart practices. Most chapters are based on empirical research particularly done in vulnerable and resource-constrained countries from the Global South (such as India, Kenya, Pakistan, South Asia, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam) and provide policy-oriented inputs and recommendations to guide change processes at multiple scales. This project has implications for research, innovation, and policy design.
Plant and Human Health, Volume 1
Early anthropological evidence for plant use as medicine is 60,000 years old as reported from the Neanderthal grave in Iraq. The importance of plants as medicine is further supported by archeological evidence from Asia and the Middle East. Today, around 1.4 billion people in South Asia alone have no access to modern health care, and rely instead on traditional medicine to alleviate various symptoms. On a global basis, approximately 50 to 80 thousand plant species are used either natively or as pharmaceutical derivatives for life-threatening conditions that include diabetes, hypertension and cancers. As the demand for plant-based medicine rises, there is an unmet need to investigate the quali...
Plant Holobiome Engineering for Climate-smart Agritculture
This edited volume is an inclusive collection of information on crop holobiome, their function and diversity, the plausible role of soil microbes in crop growth, protection from pathogens and stresses, the use of resilient microbiomes for changing climate, and the use of new technologies to study plant-insect-microbe molecular interactions in agricultural systems. Holobiomes provide information about both plants and their microbiomes, which gives a more comprehensive insight, particularly for changing climatic scenarios. By optimizing the crop holobime function crop productivity and plant health can be enhanced manifold. This book deep dives into the numerous ways in which holobiome supports...

Symbiotic Association of Microorganisms with Medicinal and Herbal Plants
Research establishes that symbiotic association of microbes with medicinal and herbal plants enhance the growth and accumulation of bioactive materials, and that species of microbes including bacterial and fungal species play a key role. Symbiotic Association of Microorganisms with Medicinal and Herbal Plants identifies the important symbiotic association between microbes and medicinal plants, including perspectives in improving bioactive ingredients for the synthesis and preparation of pharmaceutical drugs. Features Provides a comprehensive overview of symbiotic association of microorganisms with medicinal and herbal plants Discusses the impacts of symbiotic association on the diversity, gr...
害物整合管理原理
臺灣自1990年代開始積極推展作物整合管理，但因農藥價格便宜、容易使用，造成農民愈來愈依賴農藥而難以推展；然長期使用農藥引發許多不良影響，如危害非目標生物、農藥殘留影響食安、水源與土壤汙染等，農藥減量議題不斷被提倡，而整合管理被視為解決的良方之一。為有效進行害物整合管理（Integrated Pest Management，簡稱IPM），害物發生前的預防及害物（病蟲草等）診斷為首要技術，再配合合適的防除措施，適時有效降低害物發生，而將不同防除技術整合應用，秉持預防勝於治療的精神，當可達事半功倍之效。 本書探...
