Radiation-Processed Polysaccharides: Emerging Roles in Agriculture

Editat de M. Naeem, Tariq Aftab, M. Masroor A. Khan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 sep 2021
Radiation-Processed Polysaccharides: Emerging Roles in Agriculture  is the first book to focus exclusively on this emerging and important option for reducing the overuse and negative impact of agrochemicals in agriculture. Among practices being developed for effective and eco-friendly plant growth regulators in crop production, using radiation-processed polysaccharides (RPPs) is a promising technique. Comprised of chapters from diverse areas of plant science, including agriculture, agronomy, biotechnology, nanotechnology, molecular biology, and radiation agriculture, this book provides insights into the practical application of RPPs and inspires further research toward sustainable and efficient agricultural production.
Polysaccharides (sodium alginate, carrageenan, chitosan and others) in their depolymerized state are increasingly important to agriculture based on their unique biological properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability and non-toxicity. Understanding the impact of RPPs on the plant phenotype, translocation of nutrients from source to sink, signal processing, and crosstalk helps improve the applicability of RPPs and sustainable agricultural yield.


  • Presents the latest application of RPPs for improved plant production
  • Includes insights for abiotic stress, biotechnology, nanotechnology and molecular application
  • Explores the efficiency of natural polysaccharides as plant growth promoters
