Physiology and Breeding of Cereals
This Research Topic has been developed in the context of the “V Symposium on Physiology and Breeding of Cereals” being held in Lleida (Catalonia/Spain) on 8-9 May 2023. The series of Symposia on Physiology and Breeding of Cereals has been aiming to create a fertile space for scientific exchange and to facilitate synergies between scientific groups working on issues relating to the physiology, genetics, and breeding of cereals. These Symposia were initially organized within the context of the research network on “Physiology of Yield and Quality for the Improvement of Cereals” and continue to be organized by research groups that were part of the network together with others that join t...
The Lowland Maya Area
What can we learn from the people of the Maya Lowlands? Integrating history, biodiversity, ethnobotany, geology, ecology, archaeology, anthropology, and other disciplines, The Lowland Maya Area is a valuable guide to the fascinating relationship between man and his environment in the Yucatán peninsula. This book covers virtually every aspect of the biology and ecology of the Maya Lowlands and the many ways that human beings have interacted with their surroundings in that area for the last three thousand years. You'll learn about newly discovered archaeological evidence of wetland use; the domestication and use of cacao and henequen plants; a biodiversity assessment of a select group of plan...

Postharvest Oxidative Stress in Horticultural Crops
Learn how oxidative stress affects fresh fruits and vegetables--and how to inhibit this process! This vital book brings together internationally respected authorities who share their experiences, insights, and approaches to postharvest oxidative stress. It examines the factors that induce oxidative stress and the processes by which oxidative stress affects the quality, shelf life, and nutritional value of fruits and vegetables after harvest. Postharvest Oxidative Stress in Horticultural Crops also explores regulation of oxygen species production and the function of antioxidants, and examines technologies that can enhance the resistance of fruits and vegetables to oxidative stress. With Posth...
Landscape Agroecology
Learn how the principles and practices of landscape agroecology can help to overcome drought, flooding, poor soil, damaging winds, plant diseases, plant-eating insects, and more! Examining the concepts, conventions, and components that underlie the ecology of human-managed landscapes, this is the first book to address landscape agroecology. Incorporating ideas from agroecology, forestry, agronomy, agroforestry, landscape ecology, and environmental science, Landscape Agroecology is a comprehensive look at a cutting-edge topic. From the author: “Farm or forestry landscapes can be designed to address any number of objectives. Commonly, the focus is entirely on production with few, if any, sec...
