Buckwheat: Forgotten crop for the Future offers an overview of this
globally important crop, including its history, origin and its
importance to functional food sector. Due to its short growth span,
ability to grow at higher altitudes and superior quality of its
protein, buckwheat is considered as an important crop for
addressing global food requirements. The book also provides upto
date information on the abiotic stress tolerance properties of the
crop including its hyperaccumulating potential. The book talks
about the issues and challenges being faced for adopting this crop
and the ways to address and overcome these limitations. The book
guides the readers through different varietal adaptations and
provides information on appropriate research directions. This book
would serve as an ideal guide for researchers and advanced-level
students seeking better understanding of the buckwheat crop.
Introduces the buckwheat's origin, history and diversity Summarizes
the distribution of buckwheat species around the world Presents
agro-techniques and cultivation practices of buckwheat Explores the
nutraceutical potential of buckwheat Includes adaptation of
buckwheat towards different environmental factors affecting growth
and production Discusses the reasons for declining buckwheat
production Addresses the strategies for buckwheat crop improvement
Plant signalling has emerged as an integrated field which has
become indispensable in recent times to study any biological
process. Over the last decade, an enormous amount of information
has been generated in this field and the advances in information
technology gave birth to bioinformatics which has helped greatly in
managing the galaxy of information. It is now possible to view the
different information's in a systems biology approach which has
unravelled the association/ new processes and thus helped us
enormously in understanding of the biological processes. The
present book is an attempt at understanding the plant signalling
processes with different perspectives. Even though the plants are
sessile but there exists a tremendous interconnected network of
perception at morphological, physiological and molecular levels.
The impact of the surrounding environment in terms of abiotic and
biotic stresses is significant in terms of its survival, adaptation
and productivity for the human welfare. The plants possess a wide
array of processes at the organ, tissue and cellular levels which
are governed by a plethora of molecules. The molecules govern
individual processes and these exists a cross talk between them to
form a complex network of processes. The book tries to envision how
different processes are operating at different points in the life
cycle of the plant.

Sulphur dioxide is well recognized phototoxic air pollutant and can
also be utilized as a potential source of sulphur for plants
growing in sulphur deficient soils. It is unique among the gases
for acting as nutrient and as well as a toxic agent. Thus
assessments of plant responses to sulphur dioxide must consider
positive as well as negative impacts.sulphur dioxide will achieve a
maximum growth rate at a concentrations which are close to the
metabolic requirements of the plant, however toxicity will occur at
concentrations above the metabolic requirements. This study
assessed the plant responses to sodium metabisulphite (0, 20, 40,
60, 80, and 100 in ugm/l) In Brassica Campestris cv. Pusa gold by
evaluating physiological and biochemical parameters. The study also
suggests the suitability of some of the parameters for employing
them as reliable bioindicators of sulphur stress."
