    Fungi and Food Spoilage (2022)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Food science. ; Fungi. ; Mycology. ; Microbiology. ; Pharmacology. ; Ecology . ; Food Science. ; Fungi. ; Pharmacology. ; Ecology.
    Description / Table of Contents: Ch-01 : Introduction -- Ch-2. Ecology of Fungal Food Spoilage -- Ch 3. Naming and Classifying Fungi -- Ch-4 Methods for Enumeration, Isolation and Identification -- Ch-5 Primary Keys and Miscellaneous Fungi -- Ch 6- Zygomycetes -- Ch 7 Penicillium and Talaromyces -- Ch 8 Aspergillus and Related Teleomorphs -- Ch 9 Xerophiles -- Ch 10 - Yeasts -- Ch 11: Fresh and Perishable Foods -- Ch 12- Spoilage of Stored, Processed and Preserved Foods -- Ch 13: Mycotoxins.
    Abstract: The first three editions of Fungi and Food Spoilage established, then consolidated, a reputation as the leading book on foodborne fungi. It details media and methods for isolation and identification, descriptions of species, and information on their physiology, ecology and mycotoxin formation. It is an invaluable reference for food microbiologists investigating fungal food spoilage problems, both in field crops and processed foods, and the likelihood of mycotoxin production in either. The Fourth Edition incorporates major differences from the Third: multiple changes in nomenclature due to changes in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants; many taxonomic changes due to improvements in, and more widespread application of, molecular methods in taxonomy; the introduction of colour colony photographs where appropriate; and a new chapter on mycotoxins. The introductory chapters of the book deal with the ecology of food spoilage, and provide an overview of how food processing, packaging and storage parameters influence fungal growth. A subsequent chapter overviews the fundamentals of naming and classifying fungi. Morphological methods and media suitable for low cost and effective isolation, enumeration and identification of foodborne fungi are provided, together with many more specialised media and techniques. The major part of the book provides keys, descriptions and illustrations of all yeasts and filamentous fungi commonly encountered in foods. Other known characteristics of the species, including physiology and ecology are included. Chapters on the types and species of fungi likely to be found in fresh, harvested and variously processed foods are followed by a new chapter on mycotoxins, both major and minor, their sources, both fungal and food, and their implications for human health. The broad and practical nature of the coverage will appeal to microbiologists, mycologists and biotechnologists in the food industry, as well scientists in academic, research and public health institutions. Drs Pitt and Hocking worked for CSIRO Food for more than 100 years combined. Both are now retired from CSIRO: Dr Pitt continues to work part time with Microbial Screening Technologies, a biodiscovery company.

    Abstract: Aleocharine beetles are among the most poorly known and difficult-to-identify groups of Coleoptera worldwide. This book presents the first comprehensive synopsis of aleocharine rove beetle species (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) from British Columbia, Canada. It is important to generate a structured inventory of species in hotspots of biodiversity like British Columbia, to provide baseline biodiversity data for monitoring species responses related to climate change. It is the first book to treat and illustrate every recorded and new species. For every species, color illustrations are provided, including color habitus and genital diagnostic structures of both sexes. Two hundred and twenty-seven valid species, including 14 new species, 16 new generic records, and 36 (excluding new species) new provincial and 6 state records, in 79 genera and 14 tribes.Tribes and subtribes are arranged in phylogenetic order as it is currently recognized, and genera and subgenera are listed alphabetically within each tribe or subtribe. Species are listed alphabetically or in species groups to better reflect their relationships. Species distribution is listed by provinces and territories in Canada and states in the United States, and the geographic origin of each species is categorized as native, Holarctic, adventive or undetermined (either adventive or Holarctic). Every species is presented with a morphological diagnosis including external and genital characters of both sexes. Collection and habitat data are presented for each species, including collecting period, and collecting methods. A list of all eastern Canadian species with their currently known distribution in North America is presented at the end of the book.

    The Almond Tree Genome (2023)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Plant genetics. ; Plant biotechnology. ; Agriculture. ; Plant Genetics. ; Plant Biotechnology. ; Agriculture.
    Description / Table of Contents: Almond genome analysis and breeding -- Labelling Almond Genome: SAM, QTLs and Association mapping -- Identification of natural variation in almond target genes -- Recent advances on almond bitterness expression at genomic and trascriptomic level -- Recent advances on flower self-incompatibility expression at genomic and transcriptomic level -- Molecular basis of abiotic and biotic stresses in almond -- Genomics for fruit quality traits in almond: QTLs vs Association mapping -- Transcriptional changes associated with flower bud dormancy in almond and other Prunus species: DNA sequence motifs, mRNA and miRNA expression, transcription factors, chromatin modifications and phytohormone signaling -- Almond transcriptome analysis using high-throughput sequencing technologies -- Almond miRNA expression and horticultural implications.
    Abstract: This book brings together the latest information on almond genomics and transcriptomics, with a particular focus on cutting-edge findings, tools, and strategies employed in genome sequencing and analysis with regard to the most important agronomic traits. Cultivated almond [(Prunus dulcis (Miller) D. A. Webb, syn. Prunus amygdalus Batsch., Amygdalus communis L., Amygdalus dulcis Mill.)] is a tree crop producing seeds of great economic interest, and adapted to hot and dry climates. Domesticated in Southeast Asia, its small diploid genome and phenotypic diversity make it an ideal model to complement genomics studies on peach, generally considered to be the reference Prunus species. Both represent consanguineous species that evolved in two distinct environments: warmer and more humid in the case of peach, and colder and xerophytic for almond. The advent of affordable whole-genome sequencing, in combination with existing Prunus functional genomics data, has now made it possible to leverage the novel diversity found in almond, providing an unmatched resource for the genetic improvement of this species.

    Abstract: The role of agriculture in the provision of food security and the implementation of sustainable development goals (SDGs) is paramount. For example, agriculture plays a significant role in the adaptation to climate change to support SDG-13. Other roles consist of the provision of responsible employment for agricultural personnel within SDG-8 and the unique ability of agriculture to improve environmental conditions based on the regenerative management of natural resources to support SDG-12. Also, agriculture is associated with sustainable development of rural areas to support SDG-11. Digital Agriculture for Food Security and Sustainable Development of the Agro-Industrial Complex is intended to show the strong interrelation of the sustainable developmental goals in modern agriculture and the need for their implementation no matter how complex or involved. The book elaborates on the concept of digital agriculture for food security and sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex and the systemically important role of digitalisation in the SDG-9 sustainable development of modern agriculture. The book is made up of five sections, with the first exploring topical issues of food security and the contribution of digital agriculture in addressing them through the sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex. The second section presents a detailed study in the provision of food security and sustainable development. A third section discusses the provision of food security and sustainable development based on digital agriculture in Central Asia while section four looks forward to new opportunities for the development of digital agriculture based on advanced technologies of Industry 4.0. An important final section presents action-oriented solutions and frameworks for the development of digital agriculture based on advanced technologies.

    Abstract: In the modern world, to meet increasing energy demands we need to develop new technologies allowing us to use eco-friendly carbon-neutral energy sources. Solar energy as the most promising renewable source could be the way to solve that problem, but it is variable depending on day time and season. From this side, the understanding of photosynthesis process could be of significant help for us to develop effective strategies of solar energy capturing, conversion, and storage. Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis, annually producing around 100 billion tons of dry biomass. Presently, the detailed studies of photosynthetic system structure make functional investigations of the photosynthetic process available, allowing scientists to construct artificial systems for solar energy transduction. This book summarizes exciting achievements in understanding of photosynthetic structures and mechanisms of this process made by world leaders in photosynthesis field, and contains information about modern ideas in development of revolutionary new technologies of energy conversion. Organized according to the natural sequence of events occurring during photosynthesis, the book includes information of both photosynthetic structures and mechanisms and its applications in bioenergetics issues.

    Abstract: The Bambara groundnut (BGN) or Vigna subterranea is an extremely hardy grain legume. As it produces reasonable yields even under conditions of drought and low soil fertility, it is also a climate-smart crop. Previously underutilized, BGN is the subject of growing interest among researchers and consumers for its balanced nutritional profile. Indigenous consumers of BGN report medicinal benefits from the plant; however, such knowledge is at risk of being lost with the urbanization and changing lifestyles of younger generations. To date, there is no comprehensive resource on the Bambara groundnut, despite market demand for plant proteins around the globe. Authored by scientists who have researched and developed patents using BGN, Bambara Groundnut: Utilization and Future Prospects aims to fill this gap. The text provides in-depth coverage on breeding, food and feed utilization, medicinal benefits and future research prospects. Drawing on both indigenous knowledge and cutting-edge research, Bambara Groundnut is the first book to fully explore the potential of this remarkable crop.

    Abstract: This book serves as a comprehensive yet concise reference guide reviewing the latest knowledge on bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infectious diseases of old world dromedary camels. Pathogen etiology, clinical manifestations and diagnostic techniques are provided for each pathogen and disease prevention and treatment strategies are discussed. Despite a steady increase in camel husbandry worldwide, the pathologies of camel diseases are still relatively under investigated in comparison to other livestock and companion animals. With an ongoing worldwide prevalence increase, infectious diseases are a constant threat to animal and human health. In recent years dromedary camels have become a focus of increasing public health interest since they have been considered the direct source of zoonotic transmission of MERS-CoV to humans. Along these lines, the book covers topics related to zoonotic infections associated with camels. This book offers a valuable source of information for veterinary clinicians, researchers, graduate students, veterinary technicians and interested laymen.

    Abstract: This book reviews the knowledge, methods and available techniques in the rapidly advancing field of virus based vaccines and gene therapeutics. It also highlights new innovative tools and interdisciplinary techniques for bioprocess development and analytics of viruses and viral vectors. As such, it provides a timely and highly relevant resource, since current advances in pharmaceutical research have seen the rise of vaccines and advanced therapeutics and medicinal products (ATMPs), that rely on the power of viruses. However, developing bioprocesses and analytics required to create this often called “magic bullet” (i.e. gene therapy) remains an extremely challenging and costly task. This book offers strategies for overcoming hurdles and difficulties within in all the necessary steps of viral vector development - from scalability to purification methods and quality control. The book is intended for researchers working in academia or industry, as well as graduate students pursuing a career in virology.
