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.

In Defense of Medical Botany
"In Defense of Medical Botany," penned by William Martin Starr in 1891, offers a compelling rationale for the continued study and application of botanical medicine.

A Visitor's Guide to London's Royal Parks
There are nearly 80 million visits to the Royal Parks every year, making them the most popular destinations in the capital. In 1956, author, poet and critic, Richard Thomas Church (1893-1972) wrote The Royal Parks of London, which was published by The Ministry of Public Building and Works as a guidebook at a cost of 3s 6d net.

However, any visitor today will be overwhelmed by the beauty of these historic spaces that boast royal palaces, boathouses, bandstands, lodges, gatehouses, ornamental gardens, sculpture, public art, memorials, places for repose and refreshments. Today the Royal Parks as a charitable organisation is responsible for the care and maintenance of a large collection of historical built assets, comprising primarily of monuments, structures and buildings within the parks, and associated boundaries.This book will take you on a journey from Greenwich Park, the oldest of the Royal Parks, via Hyde Park, St James's Park, Green Park, Regent's Park, Bushy Park, Kensington Gardens to the largest of the royal parks - Richmond Park.

Lythrum salicaria - Global Invader
The Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) is a controversial plant, regarded both as a Friend and a Foe. In Europe, where the plant is native and commonly found in wetland landscapes, its beautiful purple flowers are admired both in nature and when introduced into gardens. However, in North America, where the plant was introduced by immigrants in the early 1800s, L. salicaria has become a pest, conquering vast areas and displacing native plants.The exceptional success of the newcomer in the New World is primarily attributed to its escape from natural enemies. In the original habitats, the purple loosestrife is controlled and kept in check by plant-eating insects, especially beetles. In America, the alien plant can flourish, and the resources spared from defence are invested in extra growth and reproduction. As a result, the purple loosestrife now occupies all the US states except Florida.Besides the escape of enemies, the purple loosestrife has merits of its own. Hybridization between plants from various origins results in new genomes, enhancing the vitality of the alien.The purple loosestrife tolerates harsh environmental conditions, including dryness and flooding. On the warming planet, the species is one of the beneficiaries of climate change.The newcomer is an undeniable competitive stress factor for native biota. However, the long-term ecological impacts of the purple loosestrife may be relatively minor. In several regions, it has become an established part of wetlands. The abundant riches the flowers provide are a priceless gift for pollinating insects, benefiting agriculture during dry seasons. The purple loosestrife plant is valuable in providing compounds used in medical preparations.Although the purple loosestrife is not an agricultural weed, due to its damage to natural biota, the plant is included in the list of the 100 most deleterious alien organisms in the world. Besides the Americas, the plant has now been established - and is considered a worrisome alien - in Africa and Oceania.
