Economic Botany by G.E. Wickens Pdf

The strength of this book is that it is written by someone who has spent a lifetime devoted to the science of economic botany. The author has brought together his vast experience in the field in Africa with his studies of arid land plants at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The result is an informative and reliable text that covers a vast range of topics. It is also firmly based upon the author's research and interest in plant taxonomy and therefore fully acknowledges the importance of correct naming and classification in the field of science of economic botany. The coverage is of economic botany in its broadest sense. I was delighted to find such topics as ecophysiology, plant breeding, the environment and conservation are included in the text. This gives the book a much more comprehensive coverage than most other texts on the subject. I was also glad to see that the book covers the use of various organisms that are no longer considered part of the plant kingdom such as various species of fungi and algae. It is indeed a broad ranging book that will be of use to many people interested in the uses of plants and fungi. Economic botany is once again being given more prominence as a discipline because of its enormous relevance to both conservation and sustainable development. Those people involved in those topics shOUld find this a most useful resource.

Plant Abiotic Stresses Physiological Mechanisms Tools and Regulation by A. Hemantaranjan Pdf

Plant Physiologists have to certainly sort out the insufluciency of consequential researches, genuinely required for getting higher productivity, opulence and sustainability of agriculture through outstandingly promising technologies to help improvement in metabolic boundaries necessitates mainly for abiotic stress factors. The aspiration is to make stronger the vital outcome of conscientious research coupled principally with thorough perceptions of underlying mechanisms of plant tolerance under changing environments. Nevertheless, appropriate strategies by relevant ideas of paramount importance could ensure food production under extremes of stressful conditions geographically varying from one place to another. The book entitled Plant Abiotic Stresses: Physiological Mechanisms, Tools and Regulation has substance for extending simple and applied researches for their rapid applications in agriculture besides broadening knowledge of the abiotic stress science far and beyond. On the other hand, with loo ming third decade, stress physiology research has almost surpassed the fundamentals globally and has been entirely intriguing to scrutinize the physiological and molecular bases of plant stress tolerance. At this decisive point in time, hopefully, this book, in part, could be a step forward in providing enough insight on stress causing multiple environmental components and to obtain favourable directions in several ways. All possible research initiatives have been sensibly included in exceptionally well written chapters by genuinely dedicated eminent contributors with a view to organize the burning theme of the present scenario being acknowledged resolutely by the world scientists.

Medicinal Plants by Halina Maria Ekiert,Kishan Gopal Ramawat,Jaya Arora Pdf

Medicinal plant research is an evergreen subject. There is a tremendous increase in popularity of herbal medicine in traditional medicine, ethnomedicine, modern medicine and as over the counter food supplements. Even after this increased demand, supply is neither uniform nor assured as most of these plants are collected from wild. In developing countries of tropical and subtropical regions where majority of herbal drugs are produced, this is not organised sector making it vulnerable to several malpractices, hence standardization of all aspects required. This has also negative impact on biodiversity and conservation of plants as well as supply of uniform material. This book is aimed to provide up to date information about sustainable use of selected medicinal plants, their active ingredients and efforts made to domesticate them to ensured uniform supply. Development of agrotechnology, biotechnology and cultivation practices using conventional and non-conventional methods are presented. Where these efforts will lead the medicinal plant research and future perspective are discussed. The chapters are written by well recognised group leaders in working in the field. The book contains topics on general biology of medicinal plants, their sustainable use and, cultivation and domestication efforts. A uniform chapter structure has been designed to keep consistency. The book will be useful for academicians, agriculturists, biotechnologists and researcher, and industries involved in manufacturing herbal drugs and supplementary products.
