This book edited by leading experts focuses on the foundation of ferrite materials since inception to its contemporary scenario including their vast applications. The contents range from the basic physics and chemistry of ferrites to its applications in telecommunication, SAR reduction, EMI shielding, hyperthermia treatment, and water decontamination. It also focuses on ferrite nanoparticles for sensing application, energy-storage applications, antimicrobial applications, corrosion protection applications, among others. This book is a useful reference to those in academia and industry.

Disease resistance is one of the major factors that can be improved to sustain yield potential in cultivated crops. This book looks at disease resistance in wheat, concentrating on all the economically important diseases their economic impact and geographical spread, breeding for resistance, pathogen variability, resistance mechanisms and recent advances made on resistance genes. Newer strategies for identifying resistance genes and identify resistance mechanisms are discussed, including cloning, gene transfer and the use of genetically modified plants. "
