Plant Transcription Factors: Contribution in Development,
Metabolism, and Environmental Stress provides comprehensive
coverage of plant TFs and their various functions, evaluating their
crucial role in growth and development, signaling, stress
management and other key plant processes. Sections cover the
significance of plant TFs in functional genomics, the influence of
phyto-hormones on the modulation of plant TFs, plant development
and metabolism, including shoot development, flowering development
and alkaloid biosynthesis. The book's final section reviews the
role of TFs in various plant stresses, including temperature, water
and heavy metal stress. Written by leading experts around the
globe, this book is an essential read to researchers interested in
plant signaling and plant genomics.
This book covers the current research on the plant-based tropane
alkaloids (TA) and TA-bearing plants. The first part includes an
overview of "tropane alkaloids in context to diversity,
biosynthesis and significance. The second part covers aspects of
in-vitro and allied interventions in these alkaloids. TAs belong to
one of the world's oldest phytomedicines with their valuable
ethno-pharmacological applications. The book compiles scientific
ideas, perspectives and challenges in this area. Further, the book
attempts to investigate the loopholes in existing methodologies,
challenges and possible solutions through well thought-out
scientific discussions from various eminent research groups. This
book is of high interest to students and researchers in
biotechnology, plant biology and pharmacology. As the TAs are of
high commercial medicinal value, this book is also a relevant
collection of articles for industry experts.
The growing scale of plant-based chemicals for industrial use has
generated considerable interest in developing methods to meet their
desired production levels. Among various available strategies for
their production, the development of Agrobacterium rhizogenes
mediated hairy root cultures (HRCs) is generally considered the
most feasible approach. Additionally, several proof-of-principle
experiments have demonstrated the practical feasibility of HRCs in
the plant-based remediation of environment pollutants,
biotransformation of important compounds, and production of
therapeutic proteins. Given that hairy root biotechnology has now
been recognized as a promising and highly dynamic research area,
this book offers a timely update on recent advances, and approaches
hairy roots as a multifaceted biological tool for various
applications. Further, it seeks to investigate the loopholes in
existing methodologies, identify remaining challenges and find
potential solutions by presenting well thought-out scientific
discussions from various eminent research groups working on hairy
root biotechnology. This book provides detailed conceptual and
practical information on HRC-based research, along with relevant
case studies. The content is divided into three broad sections,
namely (i) Hairy Roots and Secondary Metabolism, (ii) Progressive
Applications, and (iii) Novel Approaches and Future Prospects. By
informing the research and teaching community about the major
strides made in HRC-based interventions in plant biology and their
applications, the book is sure to spark further research in this
fascinating field.
Project Finance is a well established technique for large capital
intensive projects, particularly in infrastructure sector and
involves financing of projects on stand-alone basis . Understanding
Project Finance is critical in the current context as India gears
up for USD 1 trillion investment in Infrastructure in the next five
year plan, around 30 per cent of which is expected to be financed
by the private sector. Commercial Banks presently contribute 20% of
total infrastructure investment and the exposure of commercial
banks to this sector is increasing. Multifaceted risks are involved
in bank-funding of infrastructure. Apart from asset liability
mismatches - leading to liquidity and interest rate risks, banks
face regulatory and political uncertainty associated with these
projects. Indian bankers are on a learning curve with regard to the
understanding the mechanics of infrastructure financing. Therefore
this dissertation aims at demystifying project appraisal, risks,
contractual structures and packaging approaches that achieves each
party's objectives efficiently. It also attempts to lay down a
rating framework for infrastructure projects.
This book covers all aspects of naturally occurring phenomenon of
Plant-Pathogen Interaction (PPI). Recent findings and scientific
explanations to understand PPI are provided accompanied by numerous
helpful photographs and pictorial presentations. In addition,
tabulated data is also included to aid in getting insight into the
subject and identifying the missing links. Essential information is
provided on physiological, biochemical and pathology consequences
of PPI and distinguished sections are devoted to explain molecular
and regulatory mechanism underlying PPI. Further topics include
different classes of plant pathogen, receptor molecules, signaling
system, secondary metabolism and plant defense system etc. This
book helps the readers in understanding the state of art and
emerging technics to explore PPI and in identifying the missing
links which further help in creating the background for future
exploration of PPI in terms of experimental and technical
advancements.Â
