The book entitled "Plant Stress Tolerance – Physiological & Molecular Strategies" has been especially edited for holistic development of the science of agriculture and crop production under distinctly changing environment. Resource utilization is always overlooked; hence a brief focus on sustainability has been remarkably presented to prove the meaningfulness of this publication. This book brings ingenious applied researches highlighting the major environmental factors coupled with scrupulous strategies in solving abiotic stresses in varied micro and macro agro-climatic conditions , in general, and unfolding the basis for tolerance mechanisms in plant systems, in particular.
This book is a collection of thoroughly refereed papers presented at the 27th IFIP TC 7 Conference on System Modeling and Optimization, held in Sophia Antipolis, France, in June/July 2015. The 48 revised papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. They cover the latest progress in their respective areas and encompass broad aspects of system modeling and optimiza-tion, such as modeling and analysis of systems governed by Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) or Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs), control of PDEs/ODEs, nonlinear optimization, stochastic optimization, multi-objective optimization, combinatorial optimization, industrial applications, and numericsof PDEs.
At a time when Africa's food security stands threatened, Realizing Africa's Rice Promise provides a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art research and recommendations for dealing with future challenges. With contributions from the key scientists working on rice in Africa, this volume addresses policy, genetic diversity and improvement, sustainable productivity enhancement, innovations and value chains. The book is useful for researchers, policy makers, agricultural ministries, donors, regional and sub-regional organizations, non-governmental development organizations and universities.
Plant responses to environmental stress are governed by complex molecular and biochemical signal transduction processes, which act in coordination to determine tolerance or sensitivity at the whole plant level. Upon exposure to abiotic stress, plants express a sophisticated coordinated response to reprogram interconnected defense networks and metabolic pathways, by alterations in the transcription, translation, and post-translational modification of defense-related genes and proteins. Traditionally, physiological and phenotypic responses were the major ones to be collected in plant stress biology. However, modern studies include the identification of key genes that influence stress tolerance...
This book provides an overview of the state of the art in important subjects, including — besides elliptic and parabolic issues — geometry, free boundary problems, fluid mechanics, evolution problems in general, calculus of variations, homogenization, control, modeling and numerical analysis.
The Advances in Plant Physiology, Volume 16 has been edited for holistic development of the science of agriculture and crop production under distinctly changing environment with worthy contributions from exemplary scientists of eminence in unambiguous fields and remarkably fulfilling the exact themes of the volume focusing upon Strategic Developments for Crop Tolerance & Sustainability for making scrupulous research especially under changing climate. Promisingly, 18 thought provoking reviews elevate the status of the Volume 16 with extra dimension, as distributed in seven suitable major sections of Ultra Techniques in Plant Physiology; Abiotic Stresses - Physiological and Molecular Implicati...
Plants, like other living organisms, require oxygen and water supplies for sustaining their normal growth and development. The water requirement is generally met through a coordinated system of root-to-shoot communication. However, excessive soil moisture in the rhizosphere can impact normal functioning of plants by restricting oxygen supplies to the roots. To survive under hypoxic conditions, plants show cellular, molecular, and functional level adaptations. One temporary response could be switching to anaerobic respiration, and maintain energy production to some extent, via glycolysis and ethanol fermentation. However, root respiration, water, and nutrient uptake, and hormonal synthesis are severely impacted under sustained periods of oxygen deficiency. These belowground changes, in turn, affect shoot performance and yield formation by interfering with the key physiological processes.
