Book excerpt: Floriculture Helps In Enriching The Quality Of Life And Development Of Our Society Through Environmental Improvement, And Purposeful Use Of Socially And Ecologically Responsive Plants In Our Landscape. There Is A Global Concern For Environmental Improvement Such As Reduction Of Pollution And Noise, Energy Use Minimisation, Prevention Of Erosion And Flood, Biodiversity And Nature Conservation, Therapeutic And Economic Benefits Of Our Environment. It Is Well Recognised That There Is Need To Conserve Biological Diversity In Both Native And Cultivated Plant Species. For Genetic Resource Characterisation Dna Marker Polymerisation Are Advantageous. Dna Finger Printing Techniques Exhibit A Great Potential. Moreover, The Application Of Biotechnology To The Development Of New Varieties Of Flowers Has Been Seriously Considered. The Genetic Engineering Technology Has Opened Up Possibilities For Manipulation Of Flower Senescence, Colour Pigments, Plant Height, Flower Shape, Floral Scent; And Development Of Transgenic Plants. Futhermore, The Changing Scenario In International Trade In Ornamental Crops Which Provide Unlimited Export Potentialities, Demand Perfection In Post Harvest Technology To Offer Quality Plant Products To The People Around The World, All The Year Round. This Book Is Aimed To Bring Out An Extensive And Uptodate Review On The Above Aspects For The Benefit Of Readers. This Book Will Be Useful To The Scientists, Teachers, Students, Researchers, Technologists, Exporters, Amateur And Professional Flower Growers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find out how biotechnology can produce more nutritious fruits and vegetables, more colorful flowers, and grass that needs less water—and mowing! Plant Biotechnology in Ornamental Horticulture presents an in-depth overview of the key scientific and technical advances, issues, and challenges in one of the fastest growing segments of the agriculture industry. This comprehensive book covers 19 different topics related to the use of transgenic plant technology to improve ornamental plants, ranging from metabolic engineering of flower color and scent to improving cold, drought, and disease tolerance in horticultural and ornamental crops to the economics of horticultural biotechnology. Horticulture provides color and flavor to the foods we eat and variety to the products we use, and helps us sustain a healthy environment. Plant Biotechnology in Ornamental Horticulture examines the importance of biotechnology in cultivating garden crops-including fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamentals such as plants used for landscaping-by reducing pesticide use, reducing soil erosion, and developing plants with improved nutrition. Leading educators and horticultural professionals address important current and future topics, including micropropagation and regeneration, the use of molecular techniques for genetic improvement, molecular-assisted breeding, abiotic stress, the development of disease resistance, protection from insects, herbicide tolerance, controlled flowering, modifying color and fragrance, plant architecture, and senescence. Plant Biotechnology in Ornamental Horticulture examines: * ornamental plant transformation * molecular phylogeny * drought response and drought tolerance engineering * transgenic approaches to viral, bacterial, and fungal disease resistance * vegetable propagation by cuttings * the promotion of flowering * molecular aspects of leaf morphogenesis * transgenic manipulation * controlling invasive plants * plant hormones, including ethylene, gibberellins (GAs), auxin, cytokinin, and abscisic acid (ABA) * and much more Plant Biotechnology in Ornamental Horticulture is essential reading for plant breeders, physiologists, agronomists, molecular biologists, cropping system specialists, as well as for educators and students involved in horticulture.

Book excerpt: This book has combined information on the most recent agricultural practices and breeding methods for ornamental crops. The applications and benefits of hydroponics systems over traditional soil culture growing systems are also discussed. The role of current breeding tactics, such as gene editing tools like CRISPR Cas9, in the development of ornamental crop traits has been debated. The specifics of omics approaches to combat biotic and abiotic stresses in ornamental plants using modern breeding have been thoroughly studied. The critical significance of epigenetic control in ornamental plant development is also highlighted. This book discusses the importance of microbes in sustainable floriculture. Domestication and culture of wild ornamentals have also been considered. This book compiles an in-depth understanding of globally leading cultivated ornamentals and the most important cultivated ornamentals in India. Also, the important domains, i.e., pests and diseases and management in ornamentals and the economic services of ornamental cultivation are discussed. The most recent advances in urban floriculture and the future of smart horticulture have been examined. Nanotechnology uses in ornamental horticulture have been exclusively discussed. This book is a ready reckoner of the advances made in the field of ornamental horticulture for the scientists, graduate students, research scholars, breeders, farmers, and market managers of public and private sectors. This book will establish potential links between inter-disciplinary topics of research, such as aspects of floriculture, plant biotechnology, microbiology, and nanotechnology. This book series will take research in floriculture to a new frontier. This book serves as an excellent guide to formulating public-private collaborative research for future innovation in the floriculture frontiers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-harvest handling is the stage of crop production immediately following harvest, including cooling, cleaning, sorting and packing. The instant a crop is removed from the ground, or separated from its parent plant, it begins to deteriorate. Post-harvest treatment largely determines final quality, whether a crop is sold for fresh consumption, or used as an ingredient in a processed food product. This book covers post-harvest factors affecting fruit and vegetable quality, waste management, safety factors, and processing methods. The conventional as well as modern post-harvest technologies are described it details. This book will be an invaluable resource for research professionals, quality control personnel and postharvest biology students anyone involved in the technology for handling and storing fresh fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals.
