"Buckwheat: Forgotten crop for the Future offers an overview of this globally important crop, including its history, origin and its importance to functional food sector. Due to its short growth span, ability to grow at higher altitudes and superior quality of its protein, buckwheat is considered as an important crop for addressing global food requirements. The book also provides upto date information on the abiotic stress tolerance properties of the crop including its hyperaccumulating potential. The book talks about the issues and challenges being faced for adopting this crop and the ways to address and overcome these limitations. The book guides the readers through different varietal adaptations and provides information on appropriate research directions. This book would serve as an ideal guide for researchers and advanced-level students seeking better understanding of the buckwheat crop. Introduces the buckwheat's origin, history and diversity Summarizes the distribution of buckwheat species around the world Presents agro-techniques and cultivation practices of buckwheat Explores the nutraceutical potential of buckwheat Includes adaptation of buckwheat towards different environmental factors affecting growth and production Discusses the reasons for declining buckwheat production Addresses the strategies for buckwheat crop improvement"--

Bioresource Technology Discover the latest developments in the field of bioresource technology with this practical handbook The management and cultivation of bioresources are critical components of the economic survival of nations. Significantly underexplored, recent advances in bioresource technologies have breathed new life into the research and development of new bioresource techniques and capabilities. In Bioresource Technology: Concept, Tools, and Experiences, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a comprehensive work intended to bridge the gap between field-oriented taxonomists and ecologists and lab-oriented functional and molecular biologists. The book is divided into three sections: food, environment, and energy. In the first part, the authors explore the functional food sector, from green and smart food packaging to nanosensors as diagnostic tools in the food industry. The second part is concerned with the achievement of future energy security through the use of bioresources as energy sources. Finally, the third section discusses sustainable environmental management policies via bioresource use. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: <ul> <li>A thorough introduction on the recent advances in the technology pertaining to functional food industry to overcome the future food challenges</li> <li>Comprehensive explorations of the art and science of growing microgreens, including their historical background, cultivation practices, quality, and shelf life</li> <li>In-depth examinations of the bioprospecting of bioresources, including bioprospecting in agriculture, chemical industries, and diagnostic applications</li> <li>Provides state-of-the art technologies in the green energy sector to cater for the energy demand of the people, reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) and the reliance on fossil fuels</li> <li>In-depth understanding on the recent advances in the bioresource management policies and sustainable environment</li> </ul> Perfect for postgraduate students, research scholars, faculty, and scientists involved in agriculture, plant sciences, environmental sciences, bioenergy, biofuels, molecular biology, and microbiology, Bioresource Technology: Concept, Tools, and Experiences is also an indispensable resource for those working in biochemistry, biotechnology, and food technology.
