Mulberry Genetic Improvement in Context of Climate Change

Mulberry Genetic Improvement in Context of Climate Change

Mulberry (Morus spp. ) is an important horticultural plant in the sericulture industry. It belongs to the family Moraceae. The leaf of mulberry is used to feed the silkworm Bombyx mori L. It is also used as a fodder. Due to its economic and agricultural importance mulberry is cultivated in many parts of the world. An estimated 60% of the total cost of silk cocoon production is for production and maintenance of mulberry plants. Therefore much attention is needed to improve the quality and quantity of mulberry leaves. It is vital to increase the production of superior quality mulberry leaves with high nutritive value for the sericulture industry. Although a lot of research is going on in mulberry very little effort has been made to compile the results of this research in a single book. This book provides an update of recent research works going on in this plant. It describes the taxonomy conservation of germplasm genetic diversity of various mulberry species application of breeding techniques to improve the quality of mulberry in vitro conservation application of tissue culture techniques to improve mulberry species production of haploids and triploids in mulberry and improvement of abiotic stress adaptive traits in mulberry with relevance to adaptiveness to global warming. | Mulberry Genetic Improvement in Context of Climate Change

Renewable Energy Integration with Building Energy Systems A Modelling Approach

Renewable Energy Integration with Building Energy Systems A Modelling Approach

Construction as an industry sector is responsible for around one-third of the total worldwide energy usage and about 20% of greenhouse gas emissions. The rise in the number of buildings and floor space area for residential and commercial purposes has imposed enormous pressure on existing energy sources. Implementations such as efficient usage of building energy systems design measures utilization of local energy resources energy storage and the use of renewable energy sources to meet electricity demands are currently under development and deployment for improving the energy performance index. However integrating all such measures and the development of nearly zero-energy and zero-emission buildings is yet to be explored. In this book the different control techniques and intelligent technologies used to improve the energy performance of buildings are illustrated. Every building energy control system has a two-fold objective for energy and comfort requirements to achieve a high comfort index (for thermal visual air quality humidity and various plug loads) and increase the energy performance index. The most significant aspect in the design of a building’s energy control system is modelling. All the components methodologies and processes involved in developing a renewable energy-driven building are covered in detail. This book is intended for graduates and professionals working towards the development of a sustainable built environment using renewable energy sources. | Renewable Energy Integration with Building Energy Systems A Modelling Approach
