关于此电子书

Ecometabolomics: Metabolic Fluxes versus Environmental Stoichiometry focuses on the interaction between plants—particularly plants that have vigorous secondary metabolites—and the environment. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the responses of the metabolome of organisms to biotic and abiotic environmental changes. It includes an introduction to metabolomics, summaries of metabolomic techniques and applications, studies of stress in plants, and insights into challenges. This is a must-have reference for plant biologists, plant biochemists, plant ecologists and phytochemists researching the interface between plants and the environment using metabolomics. - Provides an in-depth overview of the basics of the discipline, including non-targeted analysis and quantification of plant metabolites - Outlines the applications of various analytical techniques in comprehending the total metabolome of the organism - Covers both NMR and MS-based approaches

作者简介

Dr. Sumira Jan has worked out numerous medicinal plants, focusing on their phyto-geographical distribution, ontogenetic changes, chemical profiling, chemo diversity, and pharmaceutical potential. She received BioCaRe Early Career Scientist Award (2014), prestigious Fast Track Young Scientist Award (2015) and CSIR pool scientist award (2018). She has published over 40 research papers, 16 book chapters and four books (Three with Elsevier and One with Springer). All these books are authored versions focused on the abiotic stress, eco-physiology and metabolomics of various crops.Dr. Parvaiz Ahmad is Senior Assistant Professor in the Department of Botany at Sri Pratap College, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India, and is presently a Visiting Scientist at King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He completed his post-graduate degree in Botany in 2000 at Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, India. After receiving a Doctorate degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, India, he joined the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, New Delhi, in 2007. His main research area is Stress Physiology and Molecular Biology. He has published more than 50 research papers in peer reviewed journals, and 40 book chapters. He is also an Editor of 17 volumes (one with Studium Press Pvt. India Ltd., New Delhi, India; nine with Springer, New York; three with Elsevier USA; and four with John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.). He is a recipient of the Junior Research Fellowship and Senior Research Fellowship award, granted by CSIR, New Delhi, India. Dr. Ahmad was awarded the Young Scientist Award under the Fast Track scheme in 2007 by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India. Dr. Ahmad is actively engaged in studying the molecular and physio-biochemical responses of different agricultural and horticultural plants under environmental stress.
