This reference book compiles updated research on non-coding RNAs
and their role in producing high-yielding plants with higher
productivity under changing climates. Plant non-coding RNAs are
emerging as the key regulators of plant responses to climate change
and environmental stresses. The book covers the sequencing,
identification, prediction, identification, characterization, and
targets of non-coding RNAs to engineer high-yielding crops. It also
includes in silico tools and databases to study them. Key features-
Discusses the different types of non-coding RNAs including
lnc-RNAs, siRNA, microRNAs, and tasiRNAs Covers the role of plant
non-coding RNAs in epigenetic regulation of environmental stress
response and tolerance Reviews the role of non-coding RNAs under
environmental stresses like drought, water logging, salinity,
extreme temperature, UV, heavy metals, and xenobiotics Explores the
use of non-coding RNAs in transgenic crops and genome editing
Describes the biogenesis, history, and classification of non-coding
RNAs in plants The book provides a mix of basic and advanced
information for postgraduate students, researchers, and scientists
in the fields of plant molecular biology, biotechnology, food
security, and agriculture.
A significant component of many different ecosystems, cyanobacteria
occupy almost every niche of the earth, including fresh and salt
waters, rice fields, hot springs, arid deserts, and polar regions.
Cyanobacteria, along with algae, produce nearly half the global
oxygen, making assessment of their ecophysiologies important for
understanding climate impacts and potential remediation. Stress
Biology of Cyanobacteria: Molecular Mechanisms to Cellular
Responses is a compilation of holistic responses of cyanobacteria,
ranging from ecological and physiological to the modern aspects of
their molecular biology, genomics, and biochemistry. Covering
almost every aspect of cyanobacterial stress biology, this book is
divided into two parts: Bioenergetics and Molecular Mechanisms of
Stress Tolerance and Cellular Responses and Ecophysiology. The
first few chapters focus on the molecular bioenergetics of
photosynthesis and respiration in cyanobacteria, and provide a
clear perspective on different stress tolerance mechanisms. Part I
also covers the effect of specific stresses-including heavy metal,
high and low temperature, salt, osmotic, and UV-B stress-on a wide
range of vital physiological, biochemical, and molecular processes
of cyanobacteria. Part II describes mechanisms of symbiosis,
stress-induced bioproducts, and the role of environmental factors
on nitrogen fixation, which along with photosynthesis is a major
contributor to the current geochemical status of the planet. The
text also covers mutation and cyanobacterial adaptation, and the
most widely studied cyanotoxin, microcystin, which has effects on
both human and animal health. With contributions from experts
around the world, representing the global importance of
cyanobacteria, this book provides a broad compilation of research
that deals with cyanobacterial stress responses in both controlled
laboratory conditions as well as in their natural environment.

Plant nutrients are the vital elements essential for plant growth
and survival, with key roles in adapting to challenging
environments. Each nutrient, whether required in relatively large
(macronutrients) or minute concentrations (micronutrients) plays a
unique role in plant life cycle. Both the insufficient and surplus
concentrations of these nutrients may render negative impacts on
plant growth and development and therefore their homeostasis is
considered critical for optimal plant growth and yield. Plant
Nutrition and Food Security in the Era of Climate Change
comprehensively reviews all critical plant nutrients. Chapters
include topics such as: biological roles, uptake and transport of
vital nutrients in plants; an in-depth review of the roles of
potassium, calcium, magnesium and trace element; molecular breeding
approaches for enhanced plant nutrients; and exploring the
rhizosphere microbiome for enhance nutrient availability. Written
by leading experts in the field of plant biology, this is an
essential read for researchers and scientists interested in plant
science, agronomy, food security and environmental science.
