Application of Eco-Friendly Exogenous Elicitors and Metabolic Dissection for Crop Improvement

<p>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.</p><p>Key features of the book:</p><ol> <li>It covers a vast area of research undertaken on elicitation processes</li> <li>It comprises both biotic and abiotic stress tolerance through elicitation</li> <li>It highlights a low-cost technology for adoption in future for larger benefits for a better future</li> <li>Omics approaches are highlighted</li> <li>The chapters are supported by sufficient illustrations</li> </ol><p>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.</p>
