Bioresources technology in sustainable agriculture : biological and biochemical research

"This book focuses on the recent cutting-edge advances and applications in tropical agriculture and bioresources. It outlines some of the newest advances, basic tools, and the applications of novel approaches to improve agricultural practices and utilization of bioresources for the enhancement of human life. Highlights of this book include a thorough discussion on various aspects of agricultural modernization through technological advances in information technology, efficient utilization of under-exploited natural bioresources, new chemical approaches for the generation of novel biochemicals, and the applications of forensic and genetics approaches for bioresource conservation. The book also walks readers through the latest advancements in the field of agriculture and applied biology, such as the use of radio frequency ID for monitoring agricultural crop and biological applications. The volume covers a wide range of topics, including -- use of information technology and mathematics in agricultural practices -- utilization of under-exploited bioresources -- innovative applications in genetics and forensic biology -- novel approaches for the synthesis of new biochemicals."--Quatrième de couverture Content: Cover Half Title Title Copyrights About the Editors Contents List Of Contributors List Of Abbreviations Preface Introduction Part I.
