Описание: Plants have to manage a series of environmental stresses throughout their entire lifespan. Among these, abiotic stress is the most detrimental; one that is responsible for nearly 50% of crop yield reduction and appears to be a potential threat to global food security in coming decades. Plant growth and development reduces drastically due to adverse effects of abiotic stresses. It has been estimated that crop can exhibit only 30% of their genetic potentiality under abiotic stress condition. So, this is a fundamental need to understand the stress responses to facilitate breeders to develop stress resistant and stress tolerant cultivars along with good management practices to withstand abiotic stresses. Also, a holistic approach to understanding the molecular and biochemical interactions of plants is important to implement the knowledge of resistance mechanisms under abiotic stresses. Agronomic practices like selecting cultivars that is tolerant to wide range of climatic condition, planting date, irrigation scheduling, fertilizer management could be some of the effective short-term adaptive tools to fight against abiotic stresses. In addition, “system biology” and “omics approaches” in recent studies offer a long-term opportunity at the molecular level in dealing with abiotic stresses. The genetic approach, for example, selection and identification of major conditioning genes by linkage mapping and quantitative trait loci (QTL), production of mutant genes and transgenic introduction of novel genes, has imparted some tolerant characteristics in crop varieties from their wild ancestors. Recently research has revealed the interactions between micro-RNAs (miRNAs) and plant stress responses exposed to salinity, freezing stress and dehydration. Accordingly transgenic approaches to generate stress-tolerant plant are one of the most interesting researches to date.This book presents the recent development of agronomic and molecular approaches in conferring plant abiotic stress tolerance in an organized way. The present volume will be of great interest among research students and teaching community, and can also be used as reference material by professional researchers.

Описание: This book covers the basics of animal manure, or animal dung, and highlights its applications in agriculture and biotechnology. The reader is given a comprehensive overview of the different types of animal manure. Although animal manure can cause environmental problems, e.g., when slurry pollutes rivers or burnt dung pollutes air, the book emphasizes the fact that animal dung is by no means a waste product. Animal manure is a valuable organic fertilizer that has a positive impact on soil conditions and helps save on chemical fertilizers. It is also a source of energy and can be either be used as fuel or converted into biogas through methanization. Old-age practices such as the use of dried dung as insulating material, or burnt dung as mosquito repellent are also taken up. With the increasing focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this book offers ideas and solutions related to SDG 2 Zero Hunger and SDG 15 Life on Land. The book will not only be an interesting read for students and researchers in the field of agriculture, but will also appeal to scientists working on waste management, organic manure production or in the paper industry.

Описание: “Green gold” or “Poor Man’s Timber” are commonly used terms for bamboo that is a valuable and renewable resource of the world, and has always been an elemental part of human beings in terms of social and economic value. Bamboo is considered a multipurpose plant and has a prolonged history as an adaptable and extensively used renewable resource in conventional and commercial applications. Therefore, the annual demands for bamboos have already out-crossed the annual yields across the world. And the current scenario has forced scientists to pay more attention to the utilization of biotechnological tools for better understanding and improving bamboos. The book provides an overview of the different biotechnological approaches to advance bamboo research and better utilization of bamboo resources for human beings. Various applications of biological techniques in relation to bamboo have been discussed in details, for example, plant tissue culture techniques, somatic embryogenesis, germplasm conservation techniques, use of the molecular markers, transcriptomics, polymorphism, and phylogenetic relations in bamboo. It also addresses the novel industrial applications of bamboo in structural, food, and pharmaceuticals along with traditional uses. The aggregated information in this book demonstrates the way for the improved and sustainable practice of bamboos to fulfill the future needs of the world. This book is intended for use in both the industry and academia

Описание: Metabolic engineering and biocatalysis aim to produce new value-added products from biological routes through careful and deliberate genetic engineering in different microbial chassis with suitable metabolic repertoire. Hitherto, the endeavour has largely been confined to the production of new products from glucose and a few other well characterized substrates. But, as the bioeconomy gains in importance and the world seeks to explore new sources of carbon as feedstocks, a possibility exists in developing alternative C2 compounds as feedstocks in contrast to the current reliance on C6 (glucose and fructose), C5 (xylose) and C3 (glycerol) substrates. Two potential C2 alternative substrates explored in this work are ethanol and ethylene glycol. Ethanol is a biofuel whose biotechnological potential has not been fully explored. In the first part of the book, the potential of using the NADH generated from a reconstructed ethanol utilization pathway to power a biotransformation reaction is explored in Escherichia coli. Experimental results indicate that ethanol utilization delivers higher biotransformation efficiency compared to state-of-the-art glucose dehydrogenase system, which confirmed theoretical predictions of relative efficiency of the two systems. Next, the book switches attention to ethylene glycol which could be derived as breakdown products of lignocellulosic waste or from plastic waste. Here, the proposal is to demonstrate the potential of an NADH generating ethylene glycol utilization pathway that terminates at glycolate to support biocatalytic reactions in E. coli. Subsequently, the two-step ethylene glycol utilisation pathway would be extended to malate and 2-phosphoglycerate to help another biotechnology workhorse, Bacillus subtilis, to grow on ethylene glycol as the sole carbon source. Different connection points to central carbon metabolism would provide a natural experiment to decipher the relative efficiencies of activating tricarboxylic acid cycle and glycolysis in supporting cell growth, and illuminate insights into the relative efficiency and evolutionary importance of different branches of metabolism in B. subtilis. Finally, ethylene glycol utilization would be combined with product formation to help B. subtilis to synthesise green fluorescent protein using flux from the C2 alternative substrate. This system would provide a platform for examining the efficacy of different ethylene glycol utilization pathways and entry points in central carbon metabolism in synthesising amino acids and proteins. Overall, this book hopes to explore the biotechnological potential of two alternative C2 substrates (ethanol and ethylene glycol) in biocatalysis and metabolic engineering from the substrate utilisation perspective.
