Sugarcane is the most important plant source for sugar and alcohol
production and is cultivated in more than 80 countries in tropical
and subtropical areas. However, environmental factors negatively
influence its yield and jeopardize the prospect to meet the
increasing demand for sugar, other sugarcane derived by products
and bioethanol. The development of stress tolerant plants is
fundamental for the maintenance and increase of crop yields.
Biotechnology to Enhance Sugarcane Productivity and Stress
Tolerance provides a comprehensive account of both theoretical and
practical aspects of sugarcane production. It contains extensive
coverage of genome mapping and molecular breeding in sugarcane and
presents the status of the elucidation and improvement of plant
genomes of economic interest. Through 14 chapters written by
eminent scientists with global influence, this book examines
various methods for sugarcane improvement through biotechnology.
The book focuses on genetic and physical mapping, positioning,
cloning, and monitoring of desirable genes using biotechnological
approaches for high sugarcane productivity and the development of
stress tolerance. Additional information includes the
bioengineering of sugarcane, procedures to boost productivity,
genetics and assessments for resistance to drought and salinity,
genetics for high yields, and various topics of research on
sugarcane genetics. It serves as a detailed reference source for
cane growers, sugar and sugarcane technologists, students, and
professors.
Explore the Relationship between Crop and Climate Agricultural
sustainability has been gaining prominence in recent years and is
now becoming the focal point of modern agriculture. Recognizing
that crop production is very sensitive to climate change, Climate
Change Effect on Crop Productivity explores this timely topic
in-depth. Incorporating contributions by expert scientists,
professors, and researchers from around the world, it emphasizes
concerns about the current state of agriculture and of our
environment. This text analyzes the global consequences to crop
yields, production, and risk of hunger linking climate and
socioeconomic scenarios. Addresses Biotechnology, Climate Change,
and Plant Productivity The book contains 19 chapters covering
issues such as CO2, ozone on plants, productivity fertilization
effect, UV (ultraviolet) radiation, temperature, and stress on crop
growth. The text discusses the impact of changing climate on
agriculture, environment stress physiology, adaptation mechanism,
climate change data of recent years, impact of global warming, and
climate change on different crops. It explores the overall global
picture in terms of the effect of crops to climate change during
abiotic stress and considers strategies for offsetting and adapting
to ongoing climate change. Details how and why climate change
occurs and how it effects crop productivity and agriculture
Considers what measures should be taken to mitigate the effect of
climate change on agriculture Highlights the effect of climate
change on crop productivity, the invention of new technology, and
strategies for agriculture practice to adapt to climate change
Provides an analysis of the global warming effect on crop
productivity due to climate change and long-term agriculture
technique development Confirms the asymmetry between potentially
severe agricultural damages such as the effect on crop yield due to
variation in temperature Reports on the results of experiments to
assess the effects of global climate change on crop productivity An
asset to agriculturists, environmentalists, climate change
specialists, policy makers, and research scholars, Climate Change
Effect on Crop Productivity provides relevant information and
opportunities for productive engagement and discussion among
government negotiators, experts, stakeholders, and others concerned
about climate change and agriculture.

Biochemistry is the science which deals with the chemical
composition, the synthesis, the degradation and interaction of
compounds found in living organisms. More simply it encompasses
understanding of life processes in terms of chemical phenomena. The
theme of biochemistry is to correlate the molecular structures with
the biological functions. Today, the growth of all other biological
sciences such as biotechnology, biology, physiology, genetics,
pathology, microbiology, medicine, agriculture etc. is dependent
upon biochemistry. Biochemistry has an important role to play in
all the life processes and technological developments in the area
of food energy public health and pollution control in order to meet
the requirement with the rapidly increasing world population in the
years to come. Biochemistry is an experimental science.This
"Biochemistry Manual" has been written to help researchers,
teachers and students for proper understanding and use of the major
techniques and methods employed in biochemistry.
