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.
Protocols and Applications in Enzymology provides instruction on
the experimental procedures of enzyme isolation techniques,
innovative screening techniques, and instrument enabled enzyme
assays and their underlying principles, among other protocols. The
book serves as a one-stop solution for those working with different
enzyme protocols in the fields of biochemistry, microbiology,
biotechnology and allied subjects. Each chapter offers a full
overview of protocol key resources, materials required,
quantifiable and statistical analysis, optimization and
troubleshooting, safety considerations, and standards. Applications
are discussed across distribution and diversity of microbial
enzymes, enzyme screening, enzymes in solid state fermentations,
enzyme assays, enzyme kinetics, and biotechnological uses.
New and Future Developments in Microbial Biotechnology and
Bioengineering: Microbial Genes Biochemistry and Applications
consolidates the most widely used genetic methods available,
bringing together the fields of biochemistry, biotechnology, and
microbiology. The chapters outlined give clear and concise
direction on both standard and applied microbial genetic
improvements, presenting undergraduates, postgraduates, and
researchers with the latest developments in microbial gene
technology. In addition, the book describes the background and
usefulness of each experiment in question. All chapters covered in
the book are derived from current peer-reviewed literature as
accepted by the international scientific community.
Advances in Nano-fertilizers and Nano-pesticides in Agriculture: A
Smart Delivery System for Crop Improvement explores the use of
nanotechnology for the controlled delivery of pesticides,
herbicides and fertilizers that improve the safety of products
while also increasing the efficiency of food production and
decreased environmental pollution. The development of nanodevices
such as smart delivery systems to target specific sites, as well as
nanocarriers for chemical controlled release are currently
important aspects in novel agriculture and require a strong
foundation of understanding, not only the technology, but also the
resulting impacts.
Biocontrol and Secondary Metabolites: Applications and Immunization
for Plant Growth and Protection covers established and updated
research on emerging trends in plant defense signaling in, and
during, stress phases. Other topics cover growth at interface as a
sustainable way of life and the context of human welfare and
conservation of fungi as a group of organisms. Further, the book
explores induced systemic resistance using biocontrol agents and/or
secondary metabolites as a milestone for sustainable agricultural
production, thus providing opportunities for the minimization or
elimination of the use of fungicides.
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.
