Original Sin
A daring and intimate exploration of how genetics complicates our ideas about blame, punishment, and moral responsibility, from acclaimed psychologist and author of The Genetic Lottery Kathryn Paige Harden. "An extraordinary book, the very best of science writing, because it is about not just science--it is memoir, history, bleeding-edge genetics, and a completely original take on original sin."--Adam Rutherford, author of A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived As one of the world's leading scientists examining how our DNA shapes differences in temperament, temptation, and behavior, Kathryn Paige Harden has seen firsthand how we continue to struggle--in public and in our most private relationships--with the ancient tensions between nature and nurture, freedom and constraint, the desire to punish and the longing to forgive. In Original Sin, she weaves together insights from her own experience as a daughter, mother, wife, and scientist with cutting-edge research in genetics and psychology to grapple with some of the most important questions in modern life: How do we take responsibility for the people we become, knowing how we are shaped by both biology and experience? How should we respond when people hurt each other--or themselves? And has science made guilt obsolete? Navigating the psychological and biological terrain of addiction, antisocial behavior, and violence, Harden confronts the disorienting ways science unsettles our understanding of wrongdoing and choice. In doing so, she asks us not to absolve but to reckon differently with notions of fairness and blame. A revelatory inquiry into the uneasy space where human behavior meets inherited biology, Original Sin challenges us to imagine a more humane vision of accountability--for ourselves and for one another.

Effect of Processing on the Structure, Techno-Functional Properties and Nutritional Quality of Animal- and Plant-Based Food Proteins
The processing of animal- and plant-based food proteins significantly impacts their structure, techno-functional properties, and nutritional quality. Techniques such as heating, extrusion, fermentation, and enzymatic hydrolysis alter protein conformation, leading to changes in solubility, emulsification, foaming, and gelation properties. For instance, heat treatment can denature proteins, improving digestibility but potentially reducing certain functional properties. Extrusion enhances texturization, making plant proteins more meat-like, while fermentation can improve bioavailability and reduce anti-nutritional factors in plant proteins. However, excessive processing may lead to the loss of essential amino acids or the formation of harmful compounds, such as advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Animal proteins generally exhibit higher stability during processing, whereas plant proteins may require additional modifications to achieve the desired functionalities. Balancing processing conditions is crucial to optimize both the techno-functional and nutritional attributes of proteins, ensuring they meet consumer demands for health, sustainability, and sensory appeal.

Studies on Biotic and Abiotic Stress Responses of Horticultural Plants
Plants face constant challenges from biotic and abiotic stresses, which trigger complex defense mechanisms. This Reprint focuses on research related to biotic and abiotic stresses. Under biotic stress, plants employ pattern-triggered immunity and effector-triggered immunity to recognize and counteract invaders. Key responses include the production of reactive oxygen species, phytohormone signaling, and the synthesis of antimicrobial compounds. Under abiotic stress, the following are involved: ROS mitigation by antioxidants; protein and membrane stabilization by heat shock proteins (HSPs) and cold-responsive genes (COR), and osmoprotectants; and the upregulation of aquaporins. Hormonal pathways, particularly abscisic acid (ABA), play central roles in coordinating stress responses and regulating stomatal closure and gene expression. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for developing stress-resistant crops through genetic engineering or breeding, ensuring food security under changing environmental pressures.
Physiological Aspects of Plant Response to Pathogens and Abiotic Stress-2nd Edition
This reprint aims to introduce the readers to the latest research in plant physiology under the stimulation of various biotic and abiotic stresses.

Therefore, in this reprint, research groups from around the world have investigated physiological aspects of resistance, tolerance, and susceptible responses of plants induced by plant pathogens, i.e., viruses, bacteria, and fungi-causing diseases as well as abiotic factors such as heavy metals, fluctuations in temperature, salinity, and drought. The knowledge gained is a perfect addition to general plant physiology and can be applied for practical use in food production, phytoremediation, and architecture of urban landscapes.
Carcass Traits and Meat Quality in Cattle
Beef, which can come from both the dairy and beef sectors, is a high-quality animal product that provides essential amino acids, minerals (such as iron and zinc), and vitamins, as well as anti-inflammatory conjugated linoleic acid, that humans need. Consumers are demanding more safe, nutritious, and palatable beef produced via sustainable and acceptable methods. Experience of flavour, tenderness and juiciness will be paramount in shaping quality experience, satisfaction, and future purchases. Beef tenderness is strongly influenced by the amount of intramuscular fat, also known as marbling, which can vary according to genetics, age, sex, and feeding. In recent years, the entire beef production chain, from rearing, fattening and slaughter to the consumer, has faced significant challenges. These challenges, whether the beef comes from either the dairy or beef sector, have involved achieving higher yield and quality while minimising environmental impact. This Special Issue is to publish original research or reviews on the genetic regulation of beef quality, various several biomarkers related to quality traits, early predictors of unambiguous beef quality, fattening with alternative feed sources of under more variable environmental conditions, and the contribution of indigenous dairy or beef cattle breeds to the beef industry. This Special Issue is recommended for anyone interested in producing and consuming higher-quality, healthier beef.

Advances in Modern Agricultural Machinery
Agricultural production is essential to deal with the issue of food supply, which is one of the main problems in modern societies. According to the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), the food demand in the world may increase by 70% by 2050. Broadacre farming enables large-scale crop production and is vital to producing abundant food. Machinery systems used in broadacre farming also significantly affect crop production. Therefore, designing and improving more effective machinery systems and components used in broadacre farming have become critical in meeting this demand. Increasing the cost of energy, fertilizer, chemical, and labour has also pushed farmers and the agricultural industry to design and develop more efficient systems to reduce the cost of production (to increase profit) and hence to make agricultural products affordable for consumers. Additionally, protecting the environment and enhancing the health of the soil using novel agricultural techniques to make agricultural production sustainable is also desired. This Special Issue collated innovative papers that significantly contribute to the design and application of modern agricultural machinery systems in agriculture. It included original research and review papers from different research fields, including but not limited to tillage, seeding, fertilizer, harvest, tractors, and control and automation systems used in agricultural production.

Medical Bacteriology. Volume 18
Bacteriology is the branch and speciality of biology that studies the morphology, ecology, genetics, identification, classification and biochemistry of bacteria as well as many other aspects related to them. Bacteriology is important in medicine, public health and sanitation work, agriculture, food-processing, and industry. The importance of bacteriology is undeniable; in fact, the study of the action of bacteria in health and in disease, inside and outside the animal body, has revealed so many new facts. Major advances in bacteriology over the last century resulted in the development of many effective vaccines (e.g., pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, diphtheria toxoid, and tetanus toxoid). This book is a review of the medically important aspects of bacteriology and covers both the basic and clinical aspects of bacteriology, and also discusses important infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria. This book presents current medically important information about Escherichia, Klebsiella and general characteristic of Enterobacteriaceae.
Quercetin
Quercetin, a naturally occurring flavonoid, possesses diverse pharmacological properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, cardioprotective, neuroprotective, antidiabetic, and anticancer activities. Its antioxidant effects stem from its ability to scavenge free radicals and enhance cellular defense mechanisms, while its anti-inflammatory properties involve the inhibition of NF-κB, inflammasome activation, and cytokine production, making it a potential treatment for chronic inflammation, COVID-19-induced cytokine storms, and ARDS.Quercetin exhibits broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, targeting bacteria, fungi, and viruses by disrupting microbial membranes, inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis, and preventing biofilm formation. It has demonstrated antiviral efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 by inhibiting viral replication, protease activity, and enhancing NRF2-mediated cellular protection. Additionally, its cardioprotective and neuroprotective properties make it beneficial for hypertension and neurodegenerative diseases, while its anticancer effects involve inhibiting tumor growth, inducing apoptosis, and enhancing chemotherapy efficacy.
Emerging Therapies in Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment
In recent years, emerging approaches in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment have leveraged advanced molecular imaging and biomarker technologies, targeted therapies, and immunotherapy. On the diagnostic front, liquid biopsy techniques-analyzing circulating tumor DNA-enable early detection of metastasis and real-time monitoring of treatment response. Therapeutically, PARP inhibitors have shown significant efficacy in BRCA-mutated patients, while CDK4/6 inhibitors have transformed care for hormone receptor-positive subtypes. Additionally, therapeutic vaccines and novel monoclonal antibodies such as trastuzumab deruxtecan demonstrate high potency against HER2-positive tumors. Cutting-edge research into nanotechnology and theranostic platforms, which combine diagnostic and therapeutic functions in a single system, promises to reduce side effects and enhance treatment precision.
Lactic acid
Lactic acid is an organic compound produced via chemical or biological synthesis, with wide applications in food, polymer, and chemical industries. Although biological production using lactic acid bacteria has been studied since the 19th century, it still does not fully meet modern quality and quantity demands. The growing market and new applications require sustainable and cost-effective production methods. Using inexpensive, renewable substrates like lignocellulose is key, but most lactic acid bacteria cannot directly utilize them without costly hydrolysis. Genetic and metabolic engineering help overcome issues such as product inhibition, by-product formation, and inefficient substrate use. Techniques like cell immobilization, recycling systems, and simultaneous saccharification improve yield, productivity, and concentration. Recent research focuses on enhancing lactic acid production from second-generation substrates and developing efficient purification and recovery processes. These advances are crucial for meeting environmental regulations and supporting the continued growth of lactic acid applications.

Plant Allelopathy
Sustainable agriculture aims to minimize or to avoid the contamination of ecosystems with harmful, long-lasting chemicals for improving food safety and quality, and to protect and maintain species diversity and soil fertility. An important and innovative approach of regenerative agriculture addresses weed control by using plant and microbial secondary metabolites, which function as biodegradable allelochemicals with short dwelling- times in ecosystems. To accomplish the goal, it is necessary to identify the compounds and to elucidate their allelochemical potential. The research articles of this Special Issue present recent research of species/accession-specific allelochemicals, and the extraction and identification of the compounds. Suitable methods are two-phase partitioning, column chromatography, hydro-distillation, HPLC-MS, GC-MS, and NMR-spectroscopy. Diverse methods are utilized for the description of effects in target plants, emphasizing on physiological and biochemical effects, on defined gene expression responses. Characterization of effects include determination of radical scavenging reactions, relative electrolyte leakage, chlorophyll content, ROS localization, and real time PCR for relative transcript abundance determination. The reviews present insights in the allelochemical potential of microalgae with specialized metabolites such as alkaloids and terpenoids, compounds of Solidago species, and of Cyperus esculentus. One review addresses the translocation of allelochemicals between plants, and another review considers microorganisms as protectors of Abutilon theophrasti against benzoxazinoids.
Three Mosquitoes
An engaging introduction to mosquitoes unravels the complex biology, evolution, and natural history of these tiny yet formidable creatures.There are more than 3,700 species of mosquitoes in the world, yet most research has focused on three that have had the greatest health impacts on humans: Aedes aegypti, Anopheles gambiae, and Culex pipiens. In Three Mosquitoes, renowned Yale biologist Jeffrey R. Powell provides a comprehensive yet accessible guide to these critical species. Powell discusses the three mosquitoes' complex biology, distributions, taxonomy, and evolutionary histories, along with their ecological and social implications. However, rather than describe each species in isolation, the book is arranged by themes and levels of biological organization (molecular, whole organism, and population). This structure reveals insightful comparisons and highlights important contrasts that might be overlooked if each species were described separately. Within this context, Powell examines mosquito-microbe associations--focusing mainly on the microbes that cause human disease--and past, present, and future efforts to control mosquito populations to reduce disease transmission.Whether you are a student, instructor, an entomologist, or a curious reader, this book offers a fascinating exploration of the genetic, ecological, and behavioral intricacies of mosquitoes that highlights their crucial roles in human history and health.
