Cold Tolerance in Rice CultivationPranab BasuchaudhuriIndian Council of Agricultural Research (Retired), Kolkata, India

Rice is the staple food for more than half of the world’s population, yet cold temperatures during the cropping period cause a significant loss of yield. To cope with the world’s increasing population, it is necessary to develop high yielding rice varieties that are tolerant to abiotic stress conditions, such as drought, salinity, and cold. This book provides a clear understanding of cold stress in rice in the hopes that it will provide insight to the subject for further research so that rice plants may be grown efficiently in cold regions with high productivity.

Molecular Approaches in Plant Abiotic StressEdited by

Rajarshi Kumar GaurMody Institute of Technology and Science, Rajasthan, India

Pradeep SharmaDirectorate of Wheat Research, Haryana, India

Plants under abiotic stress are those suffering from drought, extreme temperatures, flood and other natural—but non-living—factors. Abiotic stress is responsible for reduced yields in several major crops, and climate change is focusing research in this area. To minimize cellular damage cause by such stresses, plants have evolved complex, well-coordinated adaptive responses that operate at the transcriptional level. Understanding these processes is key to manipulating plant performance to withstand stress. This book deals with the role of gene silencing in the adaptation of plants to these stresses, and documents the molecular regulatory systems for the abiotic response.

Inside the PhotonA Journey towards HealthTony Fleming and Elizabeth BauerBiophotonics Research Institute, Highett, Australia

This book describes the newly discovered layer of biophotonics underlying all atomic chemistry and biochemistry. As with the variety of snowflakes, the range in biological species within flora for instance is dependent on this biophotonic layer of interaction within atomic and biomolecular structures. The book examines the phonon, the quantum of acoustic, or vibrational, energy and alongside the photon. Hence the ‘biophonon’ sits aside the biophoton as an element within biological structures. Sounds can create structure in the same way biophotons can use structure to communicate.

Biology of Oral CancerKey Apoptotic RegulatorsPrakash S. Bisen, Zakir Khan, and Saurabh Bundela

Cancer is a class of disease or disorders characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues. One new approach in dealing with cancer is through apoptotic regulators, which is the process of controlling cell growth by abnormally prolonging cell survival, facilitating the accumulation of transforming mutations and promoting resistance. This book uses oral cancers as the specific means to demonstrate this technique with this particular type of cancer, which is quite prevalent in India and other parts of Asia.

Redox supercomplexes and signalosomes are large and often transient associations of multiple redox proteins which play a vital role in numerous cellular processes. Supercomplexes and signalosomes provide the link between reductive- and systems- biology in understanding how the molecular properties of individual macromolecular components bring about cellular function. This book provides a coherent view of the key role played by redox proteins and their interaction network in a wide range of essential cellular processes in all domains of life.

Insect Molecular Biology and EcologyEdited by

Klaus H. HoffmannUniversity of Bayreuth, Germany

Insects have one of the widest distributions on the globe because they have adapted to extreme ranges of environments. This book presents current entomological research, where molecular tools help to advance traditional ecological studies. Chapters include insect–insect and insect–plant interactions, mechanisms of environmental adaption, and use of insect biotechnology in pest and vector control. The book may help to combine powerful methods in molecular biology with exciting issues in ecology in order to understand why insects become “masters of survival.”


Insect DietsScience and Technology, Second EditionAllen Carson Cohen

The new edition of Insect Diets: Science and Technology continues to provide a current, synthetic review of the field of insect diets. It aims to provide a structure of guidelines to develop, use, and evaluate artificial diets in order to improve the cost- and scientific-efficiency of insect rearing. Artificial diets play a central role in rearing programs and the science of diet development as well as the technology of diet application should no longer remain a haphazard practice without a formal foundation or guidelines.

Intestinal Microbiota in Health and DiseaseModern ConceptsEdited by

Eduardo J. Schiffrin, Philippe Marteau, and Dominique Brassart

Now considered an organ with defensive and metabolic capabilities, the intestinal microbiota plays a major role in the local host immune system development and education.

In Search of VikingsInterdisciplinary Approaches to the Scandinavian Heritage of North-West EnglandEdited by

Stephen E. Harding, David Griffiths, and Elizabeth Royles

The Vikings were one of the most adventurous and vibrant of peoples. To find out in as detailed way as possible where they visited, traded, raided, and settled has increasingly required a multidisciplinary approach, stretching across a wide spectrum of expertise from the arts and sciences. This book comprises a collection of papers from experts from a broad range of disciplines and shows how a wide variety of approaches based on historical, archaeological, place-name, linguistic, physical, and genetic tools can collectively provide a detailed understanding of the Vikings in peace and in war.

Human LongevityOmega-3 Fatty Acids, Bioenergetics, Molecular Biology, and EvolutionRaymond C. ValentineUniversity of California at Davis, USA Professor Emeritus, UC Davis and Visiting Scholar, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA

David L. Valentine

Human cells are protected from the ravages of aging by defensive systems including novel mechanisms against membrane oxidation introduced in this book. The book proposes a unified concept in which aging cells faced with declining energy production by mitochondria and the relatively high cost of protecting membranes against oxidation are triggered by energy stress to activate programmed cellular death. It includes case histories illustrating the duality of polyunsaturated membranes in aging and longevity. It also explains the relationship between membrane unsaturation and longevity leading to a unified concept of aging.

Probiotic TherapiesMechanisms of Action and InteractionEdited by

Ravi Durvasula and Henry C. LinUniversity of of New Mexico, Albuquerque, USA

Probiotics are live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host. Lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria are the most common types of microbes used as probiotics. They are commonly consumed as part of fermented foods with added active live cultures, such as in yogurt or as dietary supplements. Probiotics are used in treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases, irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance, and infectious diseases. This book focuses on the interaction of probiotics with the gut microbiome, their modification of intestinal flora, and the possibilities of developing drugs from the signaling chemicals involved in these interactions.

Neurological RehabilitationSpasticity and Contractures in Clinical Practice and ResearchEdited by

Anand D Pandyan, Hermie J. Hermens, and Bernard A. ConwayRehabilitation Science in Practice Series

This work combines coverage of both spasticity and contractures as these two phenomena are often closely interrelated. Current researchers do not differentiate between these individual impairments and, as a result, there is significant confusion in the literature. This book discusses both conditions and then separates them into their respective components. If these two conditions co-exist (which is generally the case), then the management of a patient will need to be customized to individual clinical presentation. This book covers this approach in detail.

Jherime L. KellermannSeries: Studies in Avian Biology, 47

Current rates of climate change are faster than birds can evolve, leading to serious mismatch of migration and seasonal or phenological timing. The result is a concomitant decline of migratory bird species. The editors of this volume have assembled a team of leading experts to synthesize and review what is known of the phenological asynchrony associated with the timing and patterns of North American bird migration. This will be among the most stark and alarming accounts of the adverse impacts of climate change on a continental scale.
