Microwave-Assisted Organic Synthesis A Green Chemical Approach

Microwave-Assisted Organic Synthesis A Green Chemical Approach

The large-scale production of chemicals to meet various societal needs has created environmental pollution including pollution from byproducts and improper disposal of waste. With the world facing adverse consequences due to this pollution green chemistry is increasingly being viewed as a means to address this concern. Since most organic syntheses require toxic solvents more reaction time and drastic conditions of temperature conventional methods of organic synthesis are less preferred. Microwave-assisted organic synthesis is considered to be a promising green chemical approach because it reduces reaction time from days or hours to minutes or even seconds and has many other advantages. It helps reduce side reactions and increase yields uses fewer solvents or is almost solvent-free has solid supported reactions and improves purity. This book’s main focus is microwave-assisted organic synthesis processes particularly various reactions such as cycloaddition rearrangement elimination substitution oxidation reduction condensation coupling polymerization nanomaterials synthesis of heterocycles and industrial applications under microwave irradiation. The time is not far off when this methodology will virtually replace existing and cumbersome methods of organic synthesis. | Microwave-Assisted Organic Synthesis A Green Chemical Approach

Advanced Molecular Plant Breeding Meeting the Challenge of Food Security

Advanced Molecular Plant Breeding Meeting the Challenge of Food Security

This new volume Advanced Molecular Plant Breeding: Meeting the Challenge of Food Security aims to provide a better understanding of molecular plant breeding in order to boost the quality of agriculture produce to increase crop yields and to provide nutritious food for everyone by 2050 when the global population is expected to reach a new height of about 10 billion. The challenge to provide quality food for such an increased population will be exacerbated by the depletion of natural resources and by shrinking arable land areas. However scientists believe the challenge can be met by implementing new and improved techniques of quantitative trait inheritance in plant breeding. Integrating genomics and molecular biology into appropriate tools and methodologies can help to create genetically engineered plants such as by using biotic and abiotic stress tolerance molecular markers ‘-omics’ technology and genome editing. The milestone of whole genome sequencing from Arabidopsis to rice has opened the door to a new era of functional genomics which aims to determine the functions of all the genes identified in their genomes which will help in the improvement of crop species qualitatively and quantitatively in order to meet the ongoing challenges of doubling world food production by 2050. This important volume provides recent knowledge of advanced plant breeding tools researchers teachers graduate and post-graduate students in plant sciences and those in plant biotechnology applied botany agricultural sciences plant genetics and molecular biology. The contributors to this book were selected from a wide and diverse range of institutions. They provide an abundance of new research and knowledge on advanced plant breeding tools and techniques. | Advanced Molecular Plant Breeding Meeting the Challenge of Food Security
