This book delves into the popular "Food vs. Fuel" arguments and examines the complicated interplay between biofuel and agricultural markets. It provides information on forage crops as potential third-generation sources of bioenergy, and their cultivation practices. The areas covered include methodologies to enhance production efficiency of bioenergy, metabolism involved in cellulosic ethanol production, influence of policy and technical implementation, and the consequent impact on biofuels. The discussion of current difficulties impeding the expansion of the cellulosic biofuel business, as...

This edited book is collection of information on molecular interventions needed for climate-resilient forage crops. The main focus is to address the gap in the advanced scientific knowledge for the forage species. Agriculture is extremely vulnerable to climate, and even slight change in climatic factors such as temperature causes tremendous losses in yield potential. Forage crops are crucial in global food security and environmental sustainability and face several environmental challenges in field conditions. However, the research on forage crops is far-off compared to agricultural crops and...

In the last 50 years, classical breeding has played a significant role in achieving higher crop productivity, but major crops have reached a plateau in their yield potential. Therefore, the current focus for sustainable intensification of agriculture is the use of biotechnological approaches to enhance the yield potential by combating the yield losses that occur due to abiotic stresses. The abiotic stresses are governed by multigenes, and therefore, a holistic approach is needed to get success in imparting stress tolerance to enhance the yield potential of our crops.
Plants face multiple...
