1. Buckwheat Germplasm in the World. / . - UK:Academic Press, 2018. - 382 p.
Tóm tắt: Breeding Sorghum for Diverse End Uses is a comprehensive overview of all significant global efforts for the genetic improvement of sorghum, a major crop of many semi-arid nations that is suitable for a huge range of uses, from human food, to biofuels. Split into two main sections, the book initially reviews the genetic suitability of sorghum for breeding, also providing the history of the genetic improvement of the grain. Finally, other sections look at specific breeding programs that could be improved in a number of areas, including human food, animal feed and industrial usage.
2. Disease Resistance in Crop Plants. / Shabir Hussain Wani. - UK:Spinger, 2019. - 311 p.
Tóm tắt: As a result, there will be an increase in demand for agricultural production by 60–110% between the years 2005 and 2050 at the global level; the number will be even more drastic in the developing world. Pathogens, animals, and weeds are altogether responsible for between 20 to 40 % of global agricultural productivity decrease. As such, managing disease development in plants continues to be a major strategy to ensure adequate food supply for the world. Accordingly, both the public and private sectors are moving to harness the tools and paradigms that promise resistance against pests and diseases. However, introgression of disease resistance traits into commercial crop varieties typically involves many generations of backcrossing to transmit a promising genotype. Molecular marker-assisted breeding (MAB) has been found to facilitate the pre-selection of traits even prior to their expression.
3. Environmental Biotechnology For Soil and Wastewater Implications on Ecosystems. / . - UK:Spinger, 2019. - 119 p.
Tóm tắt: This book comprises some of the major facts and solutions on environmental studies and its importance on the ecosystem. Implementations of Biotechnology on wastewater treatment and removal of toxins from the wastewater have been thoroughly discussed in different chapters with its impacts on the ecosystem. State of art technologies related to the water treatment as well as balancing of various essential components of the ecosystem has also been demonstrated with various technical solutions. Impacts of various toxins, mainly chemical wastes produced by various industries have been precisely identified and there impacts with various solutions are also discussed. This book is also a collection of various ideas and thoughts coming from reputed scientists and researchers working in this field with modernized technological views.

Food Safety in Poultry Meat Production. / . - UK:Spinger, 2019. - 307 p.,
Tóm tắt: This comprehensive study of poultry meat safety offers readers the
most up-to-date information on food safety concerns in poultry meat production.
Chapters address recent topics of interest such as organic poultry production,
antimicrobial resistant pathogens in poultry, antibiotic usage in poultry
production, and pre- and post- harvest approaches to improving poultry meat
safety. The last couple of decades have observed a significant increase in
poultry meat production in the US. However, poultry meat is a potential source
of foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella, Campylobacter spp. and pathogenic
Escherichia coli (APEC linked to human infections), leading to economic losses
to the poultry industry and impacting public health. Advances in knowledge in
microbiology, molecular biology, immunology and “omics” fields have intensified
efforts to improve the microbiological safety of poultry by targeting virulence
mechanisms of the pathogens, developing vaccines and improving gut health in
chickens. Moreover, due to the emergence of multidrug resistance in
poultry-borne pathogens, and growth of organic poultry production, there exists
significant interest for developing natural strategies for controlling
pathogens in chickens. This edited volume provides insight into these
strategies and covers other material of interest to food microbiologists,
public health personnel, and poultry scientists. Readers of various backgrounds
will appreciate its incorporation of recent developments not covered in other
publications on the subject.

Food Packaging and Preservation. / Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu. - UK:Academic
Press, 2018. - 588 p.,
Tóm tắt: This book is an updating of Food Packaging and Preservation, Theory
and Practice published in 1986 by Elsevier Applied Science. Since that date, many
things have changed in the world. Hence the name given to the first IFTEC
meeting held at the Hague (NL), November 15-18, 1992 Food Technology for a
Changing World. The keynote lecture of the IFTEC meeting dealt with hunger and
the challenge it represents to food science and technology. However, such
thoughts did not solve any problems. The famine is still spreading in Africa.
The unbalanced north-south situation evoked in the 1986 preface has not
improved. The international market of foods and agricultural products is
constantly changing and food packaging scientists can only explore new ways to
help cope with this. Some of these ideas are approached in this book,
particularly in chapters 9, 10 and 12.
