This captivating exploration illuminates the pivotal roles of salicylic acid (SA) and nitric oxide (NO) as master regulators in plant adaptation. The book highlights their covert alliance and collaboration in alleviating high temperature-induced oxidative stress.
Climate change threatens agriculture, and the volatility of international wheat and rice prices will increase. This book shows how agricultural investments play a crucial role in stabilising global markets, decreasing food loss, and alleviating climate change risks.
Seaweeds of the Southeast Coast of India
Seaweed identification is a difficult task. This volume describes the key taxonomic characteristics of 256 seaweed species from the south-east coast of India, comprising green, brown, and red algae. The book forms an excellent field guide for students, researchers, and divers.
Our soil, water, and environment are threatened. Life is dependent on these resources. If the soil is lost, where can we produce food? If water is lost, how will life persist? If the environment is not clean, how will we survive? This book explores how to save them.
How Life Emerges from Inanimate Matter
This book describes how life emerges from inanimate matter. It analyzes this transition as it occurs in space, from simple particles to individuals; in time, through biological evolution; and in embryonic development, offering a unique, multi-disciplinary analysis of all three.
Six chemical elements make up 98% of the human body, but what remains is equally important. This book is about the other elements that are vitally important for some animals and plants, as well as a few that are deadly or used as protection by others.
Domestic Production and Procurement of Medicines in Nigeria
This book reports on Nigeria’s on-going efforts to improve medicine accessibility. It presents the status of local drug production, articulates the key challenges impeding it, and explores how they could be addressed through plausible policies.
Sustainable Soil Management
Leading scientists from across the globe show how sustainable soil management can revert land degradation, improve biodiversity, and mitigate climate change. This book is essential for researchers, farmers, and land managers working toward the theme of one-health for our planet.
Plant-parasitic nematodes cause drastic yield loss globally, and chemical controls are often toxic. This book explains an eco-friendly alternative: using humic acid for nematode control. It details successful research trials on banana and citrus nematodes and future prospects.
This book shows how molecular biology reduces life to programs (genes) directing machinery (proteins). This approach is crucial to solving medical and agricultural problems for the future of humanity and will appeal to anyone wanting to understand “what is life?”.
This book introduces the biology and history of cocoa. It describes how cocoa can be grown in an environmentally sound way to increase production on existing farms, reduce incursion into forests, restore biodiversity, and improve the livelihoods of millions of farming families.
The Determination of a Lifespan
Human lifespan differs by as much as 30 years across the world due to factors like meals, disease, and genes. This book clarifies these factors and suggests how to live longer. It also surveys animals and plants living for 10,000 years or longer.
This book details nonlinear impulse processes in semiconductors. Discover the synchro-photon effect: when a semiconductor element is switched on by an electric pulse and synchronously illuminated by photons, its switching speed increases by an order of magnitude.
This book explores the Mississippi River’s influence on the Northern Gulf of Mexico. This highly productive coastal region, home to the most extensive marsh communities in the US, is eroding and stressed by excess nutrients and the Macondo oil leak as remediation is problematic.
This volume on interdisciplinary life sciences is for researchers across various scientific fields and anyone interested in the topic. It integrates disciplines to solve complex problems and is lavishly illustrated with flow charts, diagrams, and tables for easy learning.
