Conservation of Plant Genetic Resources
This book discusses validated in-vitro biotechnological interventions that have reshaped the landscape of plant genetic resource conservation. It covers essential topics such as collection processes, disease indexing, in-vitro culture establishment, multiplication techniques, and storage solutions ranging from short- to long-term strategies like cryopreservation. By addressing the challenges of ex-situ conservation management, this work offers a guide to preserving rare and endangered plants against the backdrop of climate change and unsustainable utilization. The chapters delve into critical themes such as slow growth strategies and synthetic seed technology for mid-term storage solutions. This book is for academicians, postgraduate students, and researchers in botany and plant biotechnology sectors, as well as molecular biologists and conservation enthusiasts.
Next Generation Food Crops for Human Health
As the global population surges, the challenge of feeding the world becomes increasingly urgent. Meeting this demand requires doubling crop yields and delivering safe, nutritious, and affordable food, but current agricultural practices fall short in combating malnutrition, climate change impacts, and the decline in food diversity.Next-Generation Food Crops for Human Health delves into the advances in genetic and genomic research that are revolutionizing the development of productive, nutrient-dense food crops. It presents insights into tools including high-throughput phenomics, DNA sequencing, and genomic selection, which enable scientists to discover functionally characterized genes and enhance staple crops, such as grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, and oil crops. By leveraging these technologies, researchers are creating a new generation of foods that optimize essential nutrients, from complex carbohydrates and proteins to vitamins and bioactive compounds.A volume in the Nextgen Agriculture: Novel Concepts and Innovative Strategies series, this book is valuable to graduate and postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and policymakers working toward improving nutritional security worldwide.

Biotic Stress Tolerance in Horticultural Crops
Biotic Stress Tolerance in Horticultural Crops: Challenges and Mitigation Strategies explores concepts, strategies, and recent advancements in the area of biotic stress tolerance in horticultural crops, highlighting the latest advances in molecular breeding, genome sequencing, and functional genomics approaches. The book highlights a variety of aspects of biotic stress tolerance in horticultural crops, from classical breeding, hybrid breeding, speed breeding, epigenetics, gene/quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, transgenics, physiological and biochemical approaches to OMICS approaches, including functional genomics, proteomics, and genomics assisted breeding. This volume has been designed to include the advancements mitigating the effects of bacterial, viral, fungal, and insects-pests. Readers will find this to be a comprehensive resource for anyone working in the field of biotic stress management in horticultural crops, including students, educators, and scientists in industry and academia.

Stuffing Birds, Pressing Plants, Shaping Knowledge
The Curatorial Department of the American Philosophical Society presents a catalogue of the exhibition held in Philosophical Hall from June 2003 through December 2004. The exhibit focuses on the blending of art and science in the study of natural history in North America. It explores the cultural assumptions that governed the practice of natural history on the North American continent in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Focusing on the study of living things -- plants, animals, and indigenous peoples -- it looks at how and why Euro-Americans of the Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment periods went about explaining the world the way they did. Exhibit items include historical specimens, manuscript materials, first-edition books, and art work.
