Plant Metabolics, Volume 98, the latest release in the Advances in
Botanical Research series, highlights new advances in the field,
with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on a variety
of intriguing topics, including Developmental metabolomics to
decipher and improve fleshy fruit quality, Specialized metabolites
in seeds, Untangling plant immune responses through metabolomics,
Plant metabolomics to the benefit of crop protection and growth
stimulation, Metabolomics in plant-microbe interactions in the
roots, A practical guide to implementing metabolomics in plant
ecology and biodiversity research, Plant metabolomics and breeding,

Advances in Agronomy, Volume 165, 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, with this release including
chapters on Urban Anthropogenic Soils - A Review, Epichloe spp. And
Serendipita indica Endophytic Fungi: Functions in Plant-Soil
Relations, Heating Up a Cold Case: Applications of Analytical
Pyrolysis GC/MS to Assess Molecular Biomarkers in Peat, The problem
with "Apparent Electrical Conductivity" in Soil Electromagnetic
Induction Studies, and more.
This book deals with an array of topics in the broad area of
abiotic stress responses in plants focusing "problems and their
management" by selecting some of the widely investigated themes.
Such as, Cell signalling in Plants during abiotic and biotic
stress, Salinity stress induced metabolic changes and its
management, High temperature stress: responses, mechanism and
management, Low temperature stress induced changes in plants and
their management, Biotechnological approaches to improve abiotic
stress tolerance, Nutritional poverty in wheat under abiotic stress
scenario, Strategies for improving soil health under current
climate change scenario, Abiotic stress management in Pulse crops,
Mitigation strategies of abiotic stress in fruit crops, Impacts of
abiotic stress and possible management option in vegetable crops,
and Abiotic stress: impact and management in ornamental crops. This
book is useful for under-graduate and post-graduate students in
Plant Physiology, Biochemistry, agronomy, horticulture, Botany,
Environmental sciences and other cognate disciplines of agriculture
and allied sciences and other research workers. We fervently
believe that this book will provide good information and
understanding of abiotic stress problems and their management in
plants
This book deals with an array of topics in the broad area of biotic

Controlled Release Fertilizers for Sustainable Agriculture provides
a comprehensive examination of precision fertilizer applications
using the 4-R approach-the right amount of fertilizer at the right
time to the right plant at the correct stage of plant growth. This
volume consolidates detailed information on each aspect of
controlled release fertilizers, including up-to-date literature
citations, the current market for controlled release fertilizers
and patents. Presenting the tremendous advances in experimental and
theoretical studies on sustainable agriculture and related areas,
this book provides in-depth insight into state-of-the-art
controlled release mechanisms of fertilizers, techniques, and their
use in sustainable agriculture. Conventional release mechanisms
have historically meant waste of fertilizers and the adverse
effects of that waste on the environment. Controlled release
delivery makes significant strides in enhancing fertilizer benefit
to the target plant, while protecting the surrounding environment
and increasing sustainability.
New York Times–bestselling author Tristan Gooley opens our eyes to the secret language of trees―and the natural wonders they reveal all around us
Trees are keen to tell us so much. They’ll tell us about the land, the water, the people, the animals, the weather, and time. And they will tell us about their lives, the good bits and bad. Trees tell a story, but only to those who know how to read it.
In How to Read a Tree, Gooley uncovers the clues hiding in plain sight: in a tree’s branches and leaves; its bark, buds, and flowers; even its stump. Leaves with a pale, central streak mean that water is nearby. Young, low-growing branches show that a tree is struggling. And reddish or purple bark signals new growth.
Like snowflakes, no two trees are exactly the same. Every difference reveals the epic story this tree has lived―if we stop to look closely.
