Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of European wild food plants and herbal medicines is an old discipline that has been invigorated by a new generation of researchers pursuing ethnobotanical studies in fresh contexts. Modern botanical and medical science itself was built on studies of Medieval Europeans’ use of food plants and medicinal herbs. In spite of monumental changes introduced in the Age of Discovery and Mercantile Capitalism, some communities, often of immigrants in foreign lands, continue to hold on to old recipes and traditions, while others have adopted and enculturated exotic plants and remedies into their diets and pharmacopoeia in new and creative ways. Now in the 21st century, in the age of the European Union and Globalization, European folk botany is once again dynamically responding to changing cultural, economic, and political contexts. The authors and studies presented in this book reflect work being conducted across Europe’s many regions. They tell the story of the on-going evolution of human-plant relations in one of the most bioculturally dynamic places on the planet, and explore new approaches that link the re-evaluation of plant-based cultural heritage with the conservation and use of biocultural diversity.
Download or read book Mediterranean Wild Edible Plants written by María de Cortes Sánchez-Mata and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of collaboration between botanists and food chemists, with the purpose of improving the knowledge of the main wild species of traditional use as foods in the Mediterranean area, focus on ethnobotanical aspects, natural production, uses and nutritional aspects. One of the novelties of the book would be the publication of complete food composition tables of more than 40 species, which are not usually included in nutrient databases of foods. Many of the data included comes from the chemical analysis of representative samples of these species and other are compiled from the scientific literature. Since this topic had not been fully studied, this book provides an interesting tool to be used with the purpose of the revalorization of wild food species, preservation of their traditional uses, and also as alternatives to improve the diversity of modern Mediterranean diets.

Download or read book Phytochemicals in Vegetables A Valuable Source of Bioactive Compounds written by Spyridon A. Petropoulos and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phytochemical compounds are secondary metabolites that plants usually synthesize for their own protection from pests and diseases. Phytochemical biosynthesis is also triggered under specific environmental conditions. They cannot be classified as essential nutrients since they are not required at specific amounts for life sustenance. Phytochemicals in Vegetables: A Valuable Source of Bioactive Compounds presents information about the phytochemical (common and scarce) content of several cultivated vegetables, as well as their health and therapeutic effects based on in vitro, in vivo, animal and clinical studies. Chapters also cover recent research findings about their mode of action, bioavailabity, interactions with other biological matrices and pharmacokinetics. Moreover, the book gives special attention to the factors that may alter and modulate bioactive compound content, including both cultivation practices and post-harvest treatments that aim towards the production of high quality and healthy foods. Researchers, public health workers, consumers and members of the food industry will find this book to be a useful reference on the variety of phytochemicals present in vegetables.

Download or read book Physiological and Biochemical Responses of Barley hordeum Vulgare L to Nitrogen Availability written by Ana Clarissa Alves Negrini and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important nutrients for plant growth and crop performance. Increases in the use of N have contributed to increases in agricultural production over the past 50 years. Large amounts of this fertilizer are applied to cereals crops to maximize yields; however, excessive fertilizer application is a source of several environmental problems, including pollution and increase in CO2 emissions. One way of minimizing N application to crops is by designing genotypes with increased nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Previous studies showed that overexpression of alanine aminotransferase (AlaAT) resulted in significant increases in the NUE of canola and rice plants. This technology has been applied to barley, with preliminary studies showing promising results in terms of biomass increase and seed production. With the aim of having a more detailed understanding of the physiological mechanisms underpinning the performance of the AlaAT barley genotypes, an ecologically-focused approach was adopted to evaluate the efficiency of N use and growth performance in early vegetative stages of barley. To establish guidelines to study AlaAT overexpressing barley genotypes, a detailed growth analysis was first performed with wild-type plants grown on six N concentrations, to understand how N supply affects the carbon (C) and N economy of this crop at different stages of vegetative development. The results of these studies revealed interesting insights on the effect of N on the underlying growth parameters, and determined that the major factors affecting grown as a result of N availability are C and N allocation among above and below-ground organs. Furthermore, these studies revealed the importance of controlling for ontogenetic drift by comparing plants of similar masses when analyzing the effect of N availability on growth traits. Subsequently, analysis of the C and N economy of the AlaAT overexpressing barley genotypes revealed no increases in growth and N productivity compared to null controls. Biochemical measurements suggested that post-translational issues may have prevented increase in AlaAT activity and protein abundance during the vegetative period over which plants were grown. The role of N on agricultural production goes beyond the increase in plant growth and seed yield. N fertilization, in the form of NO3- also increases crop performance and survival during waterlogging. However, the mechanism behind this improvement in hypoxia tolerance has not yet been elucidated. With the aim of having a better understanding about N supply and hypoxia interaction, I analyzed the effect of NO3-availability on the global gene expression in response to hypoxia in barley. My results suggest that NO3- availability may be linked to the increase in ATP production, and that N supply affected numerous events within barley plants. This includes changes in N and C allocation that resulted changes in growth rate and biomass accumulation, protein expression, and transcriptomic responses to low oxygen stress. My thesis research suggests that increases in the efficiency of N use could be achieved by improving the capacity for N uptake and assimilation, associated with a reduction in the proportion of respiratory losses to maintain a large root system.
