APPLIED BIOLOGY OF WOODY PLANTS

By: Ratikanta Maiti,Humberto González Rodríguez,Ch. Aruna Kumari

Woody plants occupy dominant vegetation in forest ecosystem. They play an important role in reducing carbon load from the atmosphere and store them as biomass and carbon as sources of energy. Forest trees are sources of timbers, various domestic uses, medicinal purposes, forest products, and sources of animal nutrition. At this juncture, there is a great necessity to save forest trees for life security and effective management and maintain an ecobalance to save earth from the clutch of pollution. To fulfill these objectives, a clear understanding of the biology of trees and its applications is an essential prerequisite for effective management and its application. No such book is available to undergraduate and graduate students and teachers. It discusses experimental biology to study the various aspects of tree biology from a practical stand point guide. This deals with general concepts of plant, soil and environments, the vegetation and biodiversity, morpho-anatomical and ecophysiological traits phenological events and plasticity, branching pattern and branching density functioning as solar panel for capture of solar radiation for productivity, diversity of leaves morphological and biochemical traits such as pigments, epicuticular wax, leaf macronutrients necessary for the growth and development and animal nutrition, wood anatomical traits related to timber quality and utility. A special emphasis has been given in the selection of tree species with high ecophysiological traits. The book deals with advances in research and includes our original research results.

Experimental Ecophysiology and Biochemistry of Trees and Shrubs

By: Humberto González Rodríguez,Ratikanta Maiti,Ch. Aruna Kumari

The existence and competition of trees and shrubs to sustain and put forth growth under varied environmental conditions is dependent on the interactions that occur between the plant metabolic processes and the prevailing environmental conditions. In order to understand the productivity of trees and shrubs, it is a prerequisite to know the experimental techniques of these vital processes. This volume provides a comprehensive presentation of this topic. The first part of this book deals with various aspects of experimental ecophysiology and recent research results of studies on plant pigments, epicuticular wax, leaf nutrients, carbon fixation, all supported by literature. The second part of the volume describes various laboratory techniques such as diffusion, imbibition, calorimetry, atomic absorption, mineral nutrition, nutrition analysis of forage, litterfall chemistry, nutrient cycle, etc. The third and fourth parts deal with advances in the techniques in the development of ecophysiology. The book will serve as an important handbook and resource for students, faculty and teachers, technicians, and researchers and scientists involved in forest science dealing with ecophysiology and biochemistry of woody and crop plants.

Autoecology and Ecophysiology of Woody Shrubs and Trees

Concepts and Applications

By: Ratikanta Maiti,Humberto Gonzalez Rodriguez,Natalya Sergeevna Ivanova

Forest trees and shrubs play vital ecological roles, reducing the carbon load from the atmosphere by using carbon dioxide in photosynthesis and by the storage of carbon in biomass and wood as a source of energy. Autoecology deals with all aspects of woody plants; the dynamism of populations, physiological traits of trees, light requirements, life history patterns, and physiological and morphological characters. Ecophysiology is defined by various plant growth parameters such as leaf traits, xylem water potential, plant height, basal diameter, and crown architecture which are, in turn, influenced by physiological traits and environmental conditions in the forest ecosystem. In short, this book details research advances in various aspects of woody plants to help forest scientists and foresters manage and protect forest trees and plan their future research. Autoecology and Ecophysiology of Woody Shrubs and Trees is intended to be a guide for students of woody plant autoecology and ecophysiology, as well as for researchers in this field. It is also an invaluable resource for foresters to assist in effective management of forest resources.

RESEARCH ADVANCES IN VEGETABLE SCIENCE

By: Humberto González Rodríguez,Ratikanta Maiti

The book Research Advances in Vegetable Science is an outstanding contribution of the authors in the field of advancement of the vegetable researches all over the World. The book entitles from the seed germination and its necessity of establishment in the new environment where physiological responses are influenced by both biotic and abiotic factors. Priming is a simple technique that not only helps in proper germination but aid in seedling establishment. Phonotypical and physiological responses of different vegetable crops are of significant importance in relation to factors like nutrients, salinity, disease-pest attacks. Physiological and biochemical basis of tolerance to salinity is very important that may help in the evaluation and selection of pipeline hybrids and parents lines using a novel technique. Biotic factors are major constraints in crop production, so proper management strategies and control measures must be taken for potential outcome. In this book, a special emphasis was given on food value and food chemistry of different vegetable crops. Major aspects like nutritional value of fresh vegetable as well as food value, post-harvest physiology and processing, storage and food quality, medicinal values, food chemistry and food biotechnology have been discussed in lucid manner.

APPLIED BOTANY

By: Ratikanta Maiti,Humberto González Rodríguez,Ashok Kumar Thakur,Narayan Chandra Sarkar

With new discoveries and inventions in science, application of botany has attained many dimensions. Besides the conventional application of botanical sciences, forensic botany; nanobotany; phytoremideation and phytominimg; environmental impact assessment, seed quality enhancement through priming are the new dimensions of applied botany. The industrial applications of botany are in paper pulp, rubber, dye and gum industries. At social front, besides providing the livelihood and employment through cultivation of crops, the branches of botany like community forestry are playing major role in the upliftment of folks. Use of mechanisms of carnivorous plants in plant protection; and management of invasive plants for economic gains and conservation of biodiversity are new challenges in applied botany.

Vegetables are rich and cheaper sources of vitamins. They supply good taste and palatability, increase appetite, provide fibres for digestion and prevent constipation. They also play an important role in neutralizing acids produced during digestion of proteinaceous and fatty foods and provides valuable roughages which help in the movement of food in intestine. On the other hand, tuber crops are rich sources of carbohydrates, energy and nutrients. No other books are available which deal with various aspects of crop productivity, physiology and post-harvest technology. In the world, many vegetables and tuber crops are grown and harvested for the supplying nutrients to mankind. This book deals with utilization, production technology, water and nutrient management, weed and pest management, disease management, physiological basis of crop productivity, abiotic stress factors affecting crop productivity and post-harvest technology of several vegetables and tuber crops. It deals with pre- and harvest technologies influencing the productivity of both world vegetables and world crops. The book contains an insight, Solanaceous vegetables, cucurbit vegetables, cole crops, leafy vegetables, root and tuber crops, bulb crops, leguminous crops and several other ones.
