Plant Resource Utilization and Conservation
Author: Pravin Chandra Trivedi
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788171326112
Category : Plant diversity
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
A growing worldwide realization that biodiversity is fundamental to agricultural production and food security, as well as a valuable constituent of environmental conservation have been clearly observed. The importance of biodiversity and its conservation can not be overemphasized. The present text book 'Plant Resource Utilization and Conservation'covers the syllabi of M.Sc. Botany final year students of most of the Indian Universities and particularly the syllabus recently recommended by the University Grants Commission. Book covers chapters on Biodiversity; Sustainable development; Origin of agriculture and Worlds centres of primary diversity of domesticated plants. Economic importance of food; Forage and fodder crops; Medicinal plants; Aromatic and essential oils; vegetable oils and fats; Plant fibres; Timber yielding plants; Tannin and dyes yielding plants; Gums and resins; Pulp and paper etc. have been given in detail. Chapters on Green revolution; Avenue trees and Plants in pollution control have been dealt with clarity and recent information. Book also includes chapters on Principles of conservation; Strategies for in-situ and ex-situ conservation and General asccount of national agencies (ICAR, CSIR, BSI, NBPGR & DBT). This book will definitely serve as an excellent reading and reference material for students of Botany, researchers environmentalists, Agriculture scientists and forest personnels. We hope that students preparing for competitive examinations may also find the book useful.

Novel Plant Bioresources
Author: Ameenah Gurib-Fakim
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118460588
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1141
Book Description
Novel Plant Bioresources: Applications in Food, Medicine and Cosmetics serves as the definitive source of information on under-utilized plant species, and fills a key niche in our understanding of the relationship of human beings with under-utilized plants. By covering applications in food, medicine and cosmetics, the book has a broad appeal. In a climate of growing awareness about the perils of biodiversity loss, the world is witnessing an unprecedented interest in novel plants, which are increasingly prized for their potential use in aromas, dyes, foods, medicines and cosmetics. This book highlights these plants and their uses. After an introductory section which sets the scene with an overview of the historical and legislative importance of under-utilized plants, the main four parts of the book are dedicated to the diverse potential application of novel plant bioresources in Food, Medicine, Ethnoveterinary Medicine and Cosmetics. Examples and contributors are drawn from Africa, Europe, the USA and Asia. The economic, social, and cultural aspects of under-utilized plant species are addressed, and the book provides a much needed boost to the on-going effort to focus attention on under-utilized plant species and conservation initiatives. By focusing on novel plants and the agenda for sustainable utilization, Novel Plant Bioresources highlights key issues relevant to under-utilized plant genetic resources, and brings together international scholars on this important topic.

Renewable Resource Utilization for Development
Author: Robert P. Morgan
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483148025
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
Renewable Resource Utilization for Development is a six-chapter text that covers the United States initiatives in field of appropriate, light-capital technology for renewable resource utilization. These initiatives include steps, policies, and programs that the U.S. government might take, adopt, or support to aid developing countries in utilizing appropriate technology for renewable resources for the benefit of the poor majority. The first two chapters describe the technology, advances, design, and utilization of wind energy and biomass. The next chapter focuses on two applications of direct solar energy, namely, solar drying of crops and timber. Another chapter highlights the optimum processing and use of rice bran, which is an important postharvest and rural development problem for rice-growing developing countries. The final two chapters discuss the utilization of material and products based on agricultural wastes and natural fibers. These chapters also deal with the organizations and mechanisms for implementing the initiatives and with possible next steps to the U.S. initiatives. This book is of value to economists and environmental pollution control researchers.

Plant Biodiversity and Genetic Resources
Author: Andreas W. Ebert
Publisher: MDPI
ISBN: 3036508945
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 672
Book Description
The papers included in this Special Issue address a variety of important aspects of plant biodiversity and genetic resources, including definitions, descriptions, and illustrations of different components and their value for food and nutrition security, breeding, and environmental services. Furthermore, comprehensive information is provided regarding conservation approaches and techniques for plant genetic resources, policy aspects, and results of biological, genetic, morphological, economic, social, and breeding-related research activities. The complexity and vulnerability of (plant) biodiversity and its inherent genetic resources, as an integral part of the contextual ecosystem and the human web of life, are clearly demonstrated in this Special Issue, and for several encountered problems and constraints, possible approaches or solutions are presented to overcome these.
