When introduced to the human body, bioactive metabolites produced by plants for self defense bind to particular biochemical targets, most notably to proteins involved in signaling by hormones and neurotransmitters.
The protection of agricultural crops, forest, and man and his domestic animals from annoyance and damage by various kinds of pests remains a chronic problem.

This book critically discusses different aspects of algal production systems and several of the drawbacks related to microalgal biomass production, namely, low biomass yield, and energy-consuming harvesting, dewatering, drying and extraction processes.
The scientific and economic significance of plant senescence means that much effort has been made to understand the processes involved and to devise means of manipulating them agriculturally.
In this unique book, Michel Thellier has combined recent discoveries with older data dealing with plant memory and its potential role on plant acclimatization to environment stimuli.
In 1988, we were contacted by the "e;Societe Botanique de France"e; and the French section of The International Association of Plant Tissue Culture (IAPTC) to organise a symposium on "e;Biotechnology and its impact in Agriculture"e;.
The application of imaging techniques in plant and agricultural sciences had previously been confined to images obtained through remote sensing techniques.
Metals and Metalloids in Soil-Plant-Water Systems: Phytophysiology and Remediation Techniques examines the impact of metal/metalloid contamination on the plant lifecycle, along with microbes present in soil.
Two experienced and well-known research scientists, each from a vastly different part of the world, have combined their respective expertises to provide the reader with perhaps a unique text which presents an in-depth treatment of the various stress manifestations and an overall discussion of stress in cultivated plants.
Natural pesticides and allelochemicals are used for protection against invasive plants, but when released into the environment they can have both positive and negative effects on plants.
SPIDERS AND OTHER ARTHROPODS: Elementary- to middle-school readers will explore amazing facts about arthropods in this 32-page nonfiction science book, which takes children on a journey with some of the most exciting (and dangerous?
This book presents deliberations on molecular and genomic mechanisms underlying the interactions of crop plants to the abiotic stresses caused by heat, cold, drought, flooding, submergence, salinity, acidity, etc.
The book "e;Field Manual on Alien Flora of Kashmir Himalaya: Casual, Naturalised and Invasive Plants"e; has been prepared with two main goals in mind: (i) to promote awareness on the threats of invasive alien plants to biodiversity, ecology and environment, and (ii) to encourage research on, and management of, the alien plants.
For some 50 years, Professor Asakawa and his group have focused their research on the chemical constituents of bryophytes and have found that these plants contain large numbers of secondary metabolites, such as terpenoids, acetogenins, and aromatic compounds representative of many new skeletons, which exhibit interesting biological activities.
Fluid and flow problems in porous media have attracted the attention of industrialists, engineers and scientists from varying disciplines, such as chemical, environmental, and mechanical engineering, geothermal physics and food science.
Allen, die mit Planung, Durchführung und Auswertung von pflanzenökologischen Experimenten zu tun haben, bietet dieses Handbuch eine zuverlässige Basis.
This book offers comprehensive coverage of all manifestations of resistance in combating infectious diseases and explores advances in antimicrobial resistance in agriculture and their applications in the fight against microbes.
This edited book details the plant-assisted remediation methods, which involves the interaction of plant roots with associated rhizospheric microorganisms for the remediation of soil and water contaminated with high levels of heavy metals, pesticides, radionuclides, agricultural by-products, municipal wastes, industrial solvents, petroleum hydrocarbons, organic compounds, and various other contaminants.
Physicochemical and Environmental Plant Physiology, Fourth Edition, is the updated version of an established and successful reference for plant scientists.
Despite the historical signifigance of flavonoids and their pigments in establishing the basis for modern genetics, research in this large group of secondary metabolites continues to be more intense than ever.
Continuous discoveries in plant and crop physiology have resulted in an abundance of new information since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Physiology.
