This book presents a broad perspective on saponins as important
natural products with a key role in plant defense. The presence of
saponins has been reported in several plant species, and many types
of saponins have been found to exhibit significant antifungal
activities. In addition to their role in plant defense, saponins
are of increasing interest for drug research, as they are active
ingredients in several traditional medicines and hold potentially
valuable pharmacological properties. In this book, the authors
briefly introduce readers to saponin accumulation in various plant
organs, with a specific focus on their structure classification and
diversity. Readers will find detailed information on the saponin
structure-activity relationship and saponins' vital role in
sustainable agriculture as a chemical barrier to pathogen attack.
The latest techniques for isolating, identifying, and quantifying
saponins are also discussed. In the closing chapter, the authors
outline the recent metabolic engineering strategies applied to
improve saponin glycosides production and their potential
applications in plant disease resistance. This book and the
companion volume Bioactive Molecules in Plant Defense: Signaling in
Growth and Stress offer vital resources for all researchers and
students interested in plant pathology, mycology and sustainable
agriculture.
This book describes the latest advances in Allium genome research.
Allium includes plant species known for their huge nuclear genome
size, which makes them ideal for somatic chromosome observations in
high school experiments. In order to advance the genome analysis of
A. cepa and its functional study, scientists in international
research collaborations have developed several types of
artificially manipulated genetic stocks and analyzed them using
modern technologies. The Allium vegetable crop includes garlic,
shallot, wakegi onion, Japanese bunching onion, and rakkyo. Bulb
onion is one of the world's most important Allium commercial crops,
with an estimated annual production of 85.8 million tons in 2013,
and ranking third after tomato and watermelon in terms of global
vegetable crops.
This book focuses on signaling molecules in plant defense,
outlining some of the most important cellular and chemical plant
defense strategies during periods of stress and growth. Written by
leading experts, it covers topics such as the diversity of
plant-growth-promoting fungi, the gene-to-metabolite network of
plant-microbe interactions, modulation of plant cellular responses
to stress, and how plant nutritional deficiency affects crop
production. Together with the companion volume Bioactive Molecules
in Plant Defense: Saponins, this book offers an essential source of
information for postgraduate students and researchers interested in
plant pathology, mycology and sustainable agriculture.

A new 14.5 GHz all-permanent magnet ECR ion source has been
developed and investigated at the Institut fur Allgemeine Physik,
Vienna University of Technology. A new experimental setup for the
measurement of total single electron capture cross sections has
been designed, simulated and used for some collision experiment.
Measurements of resonance charge exchange (single electron capture)
cross sections for Ar+-Ar and Ne+- Ne collisions at low impact
energy (0.1 - 1 keV) have been carried out in order to test the
reliability and accuracy of the new apparatus, since accurate
calculated and measured data for the respective cross sections are
readily available from the literature. Our data were found in good
agreement with earlier published data in this energy range.
