"This Third Edition aims to update the reader on how herbicides contribute to modern agriculture, how they are discovered and developed, and interact with plant growth and development, and the environment. Since the publication of the Second Edition in 2010 there have been many …
The book discusses many of the advances in plant physiology, utilizing data from the Arabidopsis genome, and gene editing techniques that have occurred in the last dozen years. This latest edition includes a variety of new and recent references addressing the latest developments…
A unique source of plant-specific protocols written in a clear and straightforward manner, which will dispel the myth that it is difficult to work successfully with plant material at molecular level.
This important new book covers the physiological responses of plants to attack by pathogens, nematodes, insects and parasitic plants. It provides a new and refreshing approach to this subject which is of vital importance to the proper understanding of disease and pest management…
Plant cell division: methods and protocols
This volume aims to present a large panel of techniques for the study of Plant Cell Division. Plant Cell Division: Methods and Protocols captures basic experimental protocols that are commonly used to study plant cell division processes, as well as more innovative procedures. Ch…

World population is growing at an alarming rate and may exceed 9.7 billion by 2050, whereas agricultural productivity has been negatively affected due to yield limiting factors such as biotic and abiotic stresses as a result of global climate change. Wheat is a staple crop for ~…
Agroecological footprints are a unique and popular concept for sustainable food system. Measuring and keeping a tab on the agroecological footprints of various human activities has gained remarkable interest in the past decade. From a range of human activities, food production a…
Abiotic stress tolerance mechanisms in plants
Since recent years, the population across the globe is increasing expeditiously; hence increasing the agricultural productivity to meet the food demands of the thriving population becomes a challenging task. Abiotic stresses pose as a major threat to agricultural productivity. H…
