Understanding metalloids and the potential impact they can have
upon crop success or failure Metalloids have a complex relationship
with plant life. Exhibiting a combination of metal and non-metal
characteristics, this small group of elements - which includes
boron (B), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), arsenic (As), antimony
(Sb), and tellurium (Te) - may hinder or enhance the growth and
survival of crops. The causes underlying the effects that different
metalloids may have upon certain plants range from genetic variance
to anatomical factors, the complexities of which can pose a
challenge to botanists and agriculturalists of all backgrounds.
With Metalloids in Plants, a group of leading plant scientists
present a complete guide to the beneficial and adverse impacts of
metalloids at morphological, anatomical, biochemical, and molecular
levels. Insightful analysis of data on genetic regulation helps to
inform the optimization of farming, indicating how one may boost
the uptake of beneficial metalloids and reduce the influence of
toxic ones. Contained within this essential new text, there are:
Expert analyses of the role of metalloids in plants, covering their
benefits as well as their adverse effects Explanations of the
physiological, biochemical, and genetic factors at play in plant
uptake of metalloids Outlines of the breeding and genetic
engineering techniques involved in the generation of resistant
crops Written for students and professionals in the fields of
agriculture, botany, molecular biology, and biotechnology,
Metalloids in Plants is an invaluable overview of the relationship
between crops and these unusual elements.
