Item Drought Stress Tolerance: An Insight into Resistance Mechanism and Adaptation strategies in Plants(Book Rivers, 2026) Shefali Singh, Smita Rai, Affan Rais, Swati Sharma, Abdul Mazeed, NiloferWater is essentially required by all the living systems including plants to maintain normal function of growth and metabolism. Drought stress in plants may affect several activities like cell elongation, morphology, nutrient availability due to the production of ROS and photo oxidation. Present study discusses various aspectsof drought stress in plants and possible solutions to improve the tolerance. Stresses, resulting in the non-normal physiological processes that influence one or a combination of biological and environmental factors. Plant production is limited by environmental stresses, according to different estimates, only 10 percent of the world's arable land is free from stress, in general, a major factor in the difference between yield and potential performance, environmental stresses. Drought is the most important abiotic factor limiting growth, adversely affect plant growth thus, reduces crop production. It is the most common environmental stresses that almost 25 percent of agricultural lands for agriculturalItem Plant Pathology: A Comprehensive Study of Phytopathogens and its Management Strategies(Weser Books, 2023) Mehjabi Hashmi, Nilofer, Anand Milan, Anoop KumarItem Biotechnology Simplified Basics and Beyong(Natals Publication, 2024) Ravi K Deshwal, Sujeet P.

These pathogens can noticeably diminish the productivity of vital crops on a global scale, with annual crop yield reductions ranging from about 20%–40% attributable to various pathogenic diseases. While the applications of chemical pesticides have proven to be effective in managing numerous diseases in primary crops, the overutilization of synthetic chemicals stimulates adverse consequences for both the environment and human health, thereby deterring the implementation of pesticides within the agricultural domain. Consequently, researchers globally have redirected their investigative efforts towards alternative, environmentally sustainable methodologies aimed at decreasing plant diseases. A diverse array of biological control agents is presently accessible for applications; however, extensive research is imperative to determine potential microbial species and their associated natural products that exhibit broad-spectrum antagonistic properties for the management of crop diseases.Item Cost Analysis of Consolidated Bioprocess Technology for Green Energy Production and Environmental Sustainability Impact(Wiley, 2026) Vikram Singh, Neeraj Gupta, Deepti Singh, Gyanendra Tripathi, Ashish, Fredrick KayusiItem Emerging Trends in Biotechnology(Book Rivers, 2026) Imran Hussain, Sujeet Pratap SinghItem Cytokines and insulin sensitivity(Elsevier, 2026) Fariya Khan, Salman Akhtar, Ajay KumarCytokine and insulin sensitivity plays crucial role in chronic inflammatory disorder known as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Here we highlights the evidences of association of cytokines and insulin sensitivity as facilitators of abnormal immune response that leads to hyperglycemia, cardiovascular risk, autoimmune diseases, obesity and renal dysfunction issues. Cytokines are proteins that behave as messenger to prevent inflammation in the body but inadequate regulation can cause inflammation in the body. We will be discussing about classification of cytokines and their significance as well as understanding the objective of quantification of it in order to get broader prospects of the levels required for an effective immune response. However, it is very challenging to measure the levels of insulin and ongoing research in the quantification section is in investigation stage. Similarly, adequate insulin production facilitates balanced metabolism and therefore insulin sensitivity can spark the onset of diabetes and other metabolic disorder. Additionally, we will discuss about the molecular mechanism and factors of insulin sensitivity and how some organs do not respond to insulin thus in turn it suppress the functions of glucose in the body. Furthermore, we will elaborate about the status of molecular biomarker of cytokines and how they play an important part in the pathogenesis of Type 2 diabetes. So, here we will discuss different therapeutic strategies and perspectives to improve insulin sensitivity and inflammatory effects of cytokines. This chapter explores the significance, role, classification and how targeting cytokines and insulin sensitivity can help in the scope of development of new drugs that could benefit in the regulation of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
