Beskrivning

Halophytes, salt-tolerant plants that grow in soils and waters with high salinity , are spectacular plants that can prove tremendously valuable to both man as well as nature due to their unique physiology , such as to enhance the productivity of crops in salt-affected soils, for land re-vegetation, to develop salt-tolerant crops, and to provide forage for cattle. This new book presents scientific knowledge and expertise on the mechanisms of plant responses to various environmental stresses, providing a systematic review of the physiological responses of halophytes to salinity , discussing adaptive pathways of halophytes and the prospects of increasing plant salinity tolerance.

Talreja College, Ulhasnagar (affiliated to University of Mumbai), India. His major areas of resear ch are unravelling the salt adaptation mechanism of halophytes, development of bio-saline agriculture, phytoremediation, endophyte-assisted growth promotion and stress tolerance in plants, and assessment of wild vegetables for nutritional and value-added products. He is serving as an editor and reviewer for several international journals. He has been invited as a resource person for different conferences and symposia. To date, he has published three books, over 20 research/review papers in international journals, and over 16 book chapters in edited books for international publishers.

Recensioner i media

"Highlights the important research outcome in halophytes. . . . A superb job of compiling chapters from contributing authors on a broad range of topics, including physiological and biochemical mechanisms, compatible solutes, signaling, regulatory components, in addition to halophilic cyanobacteria and microalgae, halophyte-associated microbes, endophytes, adaptive pathways. The book has also relevant chapters on the role of halophytes in eco-friendly environmental and agricultural practices and environmental clean-up. . . . A valuable knowledge resource for researchers, students, and policymakers looking to explore halophytes in sustainable agriculture."—From the Foreword by Prof. Suprasanna Penna, Director, Amity Institute of Biotechnology (AIB), Amity University, Maharashtra, India
