Fundamentals of Biochemistry
(University of Manitoba, 2023) Jakubowski, Henry; Flatt, Patricia
This text is designed for the two-semester introductory biochemistry course but could be customized for a one-semester course as well. Biochemistry is the application of chemistry to the study of biological processes at the cellular and molecular levels. It emerged as a distinct discipline around the beginning of the 20th century when scientists combined chemistry, physiology, and biology to investigate the chemistry of living systems. Biochemistry is both a life science and a chemical science - it explores the chemistry of living organisms and the molecular basis for the changes occurring in living cells. It uses the methods of chemistry, physics, molecular biology, and immunology to study the structure and behavior of the complex molecules found in biological material and the ways these molecules interact to form cells, tissues, and whole organisms. The chapter organization generally follows the traditionally used biochemistry texts to allow easier adoption by faculty and use by students.

Abiotic Stresses, Biostimulants and Plant Activity
(MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2023) Del Buono, Daniele; Proietti, Primo; Regni, Luca
Numerous biotic and abiotic stresses can significantly decrease crop growth and yields. In the context of climate change, stresses will be more frequent in the coming years and will have an even more severe impact on agricultural systems. As a result, crop production could be drastically reduced, with the consequences aggravated by the fact that the world’s growing population will require more food production. Furthermore, among abiotic stresses, the salinity of soils and water for agricultural use, as well as drought, particularly impact crops. For these reasons, sustainable measures need to be implemented to maintain/increase crop production and ensure the resilience of agricultural systems. To this end, biostimulants, materials that can increase crop productivity and the quality profile of end products, are an increasingly popular solution. The primary function of biostimulants is improving nutrient use efficiency, quality traits, and stress tolerance, as well as ensuring the bioavailability of nutrients in the soil or rhizosphere. Therefore, this Special Issue published research on the effects of biostimulants on helping crops to cope with abiotic stresses, focusing on salt and drought stress. In addition, scientific contributions on the use of biostimulants to counteract other abiotic stresses, such as potentially toxic metals and extreme temperatures, are also welcome. New substances with biostimulant action and studies investigating the mechanisms of action of biostimulants and their qualitative, economic, and environmental benefits will also be considered.

Analysis of Crop Genetic and Germplasm Diversity
(MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2023) De Ron, Antonio M.; Rodiño, A. Paula
Plant genetic resources are the basis for the genetic improvement of cultivated plants and future food and feed security. The interactions of plants with their agrosystem, the influence of different cropping systems, and the resistance of crops to biotic and abiotic stresses, as well as the adaptation of plants to different environmental conditions under the current changing conditions, are relevant aspects. Agricultural biodiversity is the diversity of crops and their wild relatives, trees, animals, microbes, and other species relevant to agricultural production. Food and feed biodiversity is crucial to fight malnutrition and diet-related diseases. A diverse diet increases the likelihood of consuming adequate amounts of the full range of nutrients essential to human health. The genetic diversity of several crop species is presented in this publication. This biodiversity was assessed by morphological and agronomical traits and nutritional characters, also including molecular diversity and tolerance/resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses.
Advances in Alternative Measures in Plant Protection
(MDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2023) Mechora, Špela; Šunjka, Dragana
Due to increasing concern about the use of pesticides and its potential side effects, this book considers the development and application of alternative, environmental-friendly, plant protection methods for the control of weeds, disease, and pests (predators, parasitoids, competitors, plant-plant interactions, microelements, biopesticides). Some of the main advantages of the measures presented in papers are the absence of toxicity to humans and vertebrates, beneficial organisms, and the environment, as well as the absence of pest resistance. In order to provide sustainable and eco-friendly food production, those are important subjects, both in conventional, organic and integrated agricultural farming. Through reviews and original research articles, this reprint covers all aspects of alternative measures in plant protection.
