About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Biotechnological tools serve to complement conventional approaches in the realms of conservation, characterization, and utilization, ultimately aiming to enhance the production and productivity of both agricultural and horticultural crops. The emergent field of bioinformatics is an integrated discipline born from the fusion of biology and informatics, encompassing various cutting-edge scientific frontiers, such as genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.The burgeoning repository of proteome and genome information, which nearly doubles annually, possesses significant implications and applications across diverse areas of science, including agriculture, horticulture, forestry, and food science.Cheminformatics, a specialized field, focuses on a range of problems within the realm of chemistry. By employing cheminformatics methods, it is possible to identify naturally occurring chemical compounds in crops that act against pests, thereby reducing the reliance on chemical pesticides.Bioinformatics has transformed the discipline of life sciences from a purely laboratory-based science to an information-driven science as well.The book, Agriculture Bioinformatics, is a comprehensive collection of 17 chapters authored by experts in their respective fields, offers both theoretical knowledge and practical, applied aspects aimed at enhancing the productivity and quality of crops.

About this title

Synopsis

Biotechnological tools supplement various conventional approaches in conservation, characterization and utilization for increasing production and productivity of agricultural and horticultural crops. The emerging field of bioinformatics is an integrated field arising from merging of biology and informatics. It is a conglomeration of various new frontiers of science like genomics, proteomics, metabolomics etc. The rich warehouse of proteome and genome information nearly doubling every year has significant implications and applications in various areas of science including agriculture, horticulture, forestry and food science. Cheminformatics is specialized to a range of problems in the field of chemistry. Chemical pesticide reduction is possible by adopting cheminformatics methods to identify naturally occurring chemical compounds in crops which act against pests. Bioinformatics has transformed the discipline of life science from a purely lab based science to an information science as well. The ICAR has recently launched a National Agricultural Bioinformatics Grid (NABG) to serve as a computational facility in developing national biodatabases and data warehouses. The present book Agriculture Bioinformatics is a compilation of 17 information packed chapters authored by working scientists in the respective discipline. In addition to the theoretical information, practical and applied aspects to boost productivity and quality of crops are given.
