This collection features four peer-reviewed literature reviews on drought-resistant crops. The first chapter assesses the genes involved in drought and heat tolerance, as well as the physiological traits related to increased tolerance to abiotic stress in wheat. It reviews advances in our understanding of the molecular markers associated with these physiological traits, and the roles of key genes in determining a wheat plant’s response to heat and drought stress. The second chapter discusses mechanisms of drought resistance in rice. It reviews ways of assessing drought tolerance performance, identifying genes promoting drought tolerance through quantitative trait loci (QLT) analysis, as well as breeding for drought tolerance. The third chapter highlights the genetic diversity and quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with the traits contributing to drought and heat tolerance in soybean. It also reviews genomic resources that can facilitate a better understanding of phenotype-genotype associations and formulate genomic-assisted breeding strategies. The final chapter addresses the polygenic nature of tolerance to drought and to heat in grain legumes. It reviews advances in understanding plant adaptation to stress, the assembly of molecular and phenotyping tools to support breeding and the development of tolerance through traditional and molecular breeding techniques.

2022 · Shineeks Publishers

The current edited book is a new avenue for the budding researchers to get the easy literature on anticancer agents and it clear the research concepts, in applied way for sustainable developments as an alternative approach towards the therapeutic biology. Various studies have been found on cancer biology over a period on medical sciences but problem are unsolved and remain a big question for the researchers in biological science. It is observed through the understanding of fundamental concepts, theories, methods, processing technologies and useful products, even though many obstacles in these areas to give more attention and needed to develop with advanced newer strategies for the future perspectives. This edited book is a highly useful source as reference material for innovative minds in the field of life science and other allied branches of science which help it out for related industries and research organization. The “Anticancer Agents from Medicinal Plants and their Associated Endophytic Fungi” edited book reveal the three chapters which, includes past innovative concepts on anticancer research and developments, and also brings defined advanced methodology, précised principle, novel protocol, innovative technology and vast application of the products using medicinal plants and associated with fungi as an endophytic approach in other chapters with the outcome of pre-clinical and clinical studies of novel biomolecules. The written chapters are highly useful and it shows the experience of author/researcher with high knowledge and scientific skills in their research described systematically to analyze the work. It would be most essential for young scholars and it can be use it as reference material for their research to follow the newer methodologies and techniques. This book has been asset for the science and society, with special reference to graduates, post-graduates, doctoral students and faculties of life science streams.
