Advances in Agronomy, Volume 170, the latest release in this
leading reference on agronomy, contains a variety of updates and
highlights new advances in the field. Each chapter is written by an
international board of authors.
Analysis of Chemical Residues in Agriculture presents a focused,
yet comprehensive guide on how to identify, evaluate and analyze
the wide range of chemicals that impact our food production system.
The book presents a variety of analytical technologies and methods
in order to help professionals, researchers, and graduate and
undergraduate students understand chemical residues in agriculture
and apply them to applications for the detection and quantification
of chemical residues - both organic and inorganic - in several
agricultural matrices, including crops, fruits, meat, food, feed,
soil and water. Agriculture remains one of the most strategic
sectors for the global economy and well-being. However, it is seen
as a source of environmental and health concerns mainly due to the
high amount of pesticides and fertilizers used in production
systems around the world; moreover, a thorough understanding of the
topic is necessary when we consider livestock production systems
also apply large amounts of veterinary drugs to treat illness and
promote increases in productivity.
Transporters and Plant Osmotic Stress focuses on the potential
negative impact of abiotic stresses on plant health and crop yield.
The book focuses on the current state of knowledge of the
biochemical and molecular regulation of several classes of membrane
transporters during different osmotic stresses and their probable
mechanisms of operation in plant stress tolerance. The
comprehensive discussion presented in this book highlights steps
appropriate for mitigating multiple forms of abiotic stresses
utilizing transporter proteins. Edited by leading experts and
authored by top researchers from around the world, Transporters and
Plant Osmotic Stress will be valuable to researchers, academicians,
and scientists to enhance their knowledge and inspire further
research in the field of transporters with respect to abiotic
stress responses. It is complimented by its companion book titled
Metal and Nutrient Transporters in Abiotic Stress.
