Application of Eco-Friendly Exogenous Elicitors and Metabolic Dissection for Crop Improvement
About this book
Due to the alarming increase in human population and global food demand, farmers are looking for a better option that can provide them huge benefits within a short period of time. The use of chemical pesticides, fungicides, or other chemical fertilizers altogether causes a huge adverse impact on the environment. Using environmentally safe elicitor molecules can solve this problem in two ways. First, their application is a cost-effective process, which can provide maximum benefit to the farmers. Second, they are safe to apply directly to the environment.
Key features of the book:
- It covers a vast area of research undertaken on elicitation processes
- It comprises both biotic and abiotic stress tolerance through elicitation
- It highlights a low-cost technology for adoption in future for larger benefits for a better future
- Omics approaches are highlighted
- The chapters are supported by sufficient illustrations
This book comprises aspects of elicitation or elicitor-mediated research undertaken so far, to provide a direction toward a chemical-hazard-free world without compromising the yield and market value of the plant-based products. This book aims to guide students at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels as well as researchers, academicians and other industry professionals.
