Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proteomics may be defined as the large-scale study of the proteome, i.e. a set of proteins being expressed in a certain fluid, tissue, organ or organism. Although still of limited and restricted use in most areas of farm animal and veterinary research, proteomics potential is unequivocal holding a significant promise in applications such as vaccine and drug development, animal product quality, physiology or toxicology. Nevertheless, proteomics use has been growing steadily during the last 2-3 years and, as time goes by; proteomics-based studies are more and more common, not just to scientists but to the general public, unraveling their full potential. This book reflects the will of a group of scientists that merge innovation with excellence of research and to whom the dissemination of knowledge and innovation through cooperation is a key essential point. It will be of interest to scientists at the early stages of their careers as well as to researchers well established in the field and to whom proteomics may be the necessary next step towards more in-depth research activities. By providing a collection of diverse scientific interests, Farm Animal Proteomics 2013 is also a witness to the vitality of the area and the importance it holds to animal and food research, to science, industry, government agencies, the consumer and ultimately the society as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food proteomics is one of the most dynamic and fast-developing areas in food science. The goal of this book is to be a reference guide on the principles and the current and future potential applications of proteomics in food science and technology. More specifically, the book will discuss recent developments and the expected trends of the near future in food proteomics. The book will be divided into two parts. The first part (7 chapters) will focus on the basic principles for proteomics, e.g., sample preparation, such as extraction and separation techniques, analytical instrumentation currently in use, and available databases for peptide and protein identification. The second part of the book (26 chapters) will focus on applications in foods. It will deal with quality issues related to post-mortem processes in animal foods and quality traits for all foods in general, as well as the identification of bioactive peptides and proteins, which are very important from the nutritional point of view. Furthermore, consumers are now extremely susceptible to food safety issues, and proteomics can provide reassurance with different safety aspects, such as food authenticity, detection of animal species in the food, and identification of food allergens. All of these issues will be covered in this book. It is also worth noting that both editors are internationally recognized experts in the field of food science, and both have edited numerous food science books and handbooks.

Book excerpt: This book addresses the impacts of current and future reproductive technologies on our world food production and provides a significant contribution to the importance of research in the area of reproductive physiology that has never been compiled before. It would provide a unique opportunity to separate the impacts of how reproductive technologies have affected different species and their contributions to food production. Lastly, no publication has been compiled that demonstrates the relationship between developments in reproductive management tools and food production that may be used a reference for scientists in addressing future research areas. During the past 50 years assisted reproductive technologies have been developed and refined to increase the number and quality of offspring from genetically superior farm animal livestock species. Artificial insemination (AI), estrous synchronization and fixed-time AI, semen and embryo cryopreservation, multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET), in vitro fertilization, sex determination of sperm or embryos, and nuclear transfer are technologies that are used to enhance the production efficiency of livestock species.

This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes in natural ecosystems can affect biodiversity on a global scale, which in turn affects global food production. Climate change develops under different environmental conditions such as high CO2 concentration, ultraviolet radiation, temperature, salinity, rainfall intensity, etc., causing an increase in the growth of new weeds and pathogens. All these factors alone and in complex can reduce growth, complicate photosynthesis, and reduce the physiological and biochemical responses of plants. On the other hand, studies in recent years have shown that the development of a dual strategy of breeding for stress tolerance and introducing stress tolerant plants into production systems to increase their resistance to various stresses is particularly relevant today. Therefore, research related to physiological, biochemical and molecular responses of plants is of paramount importance to authorize the effects of climate-induced stresses and the likely mechanisms of resistance and/or factors mitigating these stresses in crop plants. Climate change is a dynamic, multifaceted system of modifications to environmental conditions that include abiotic and biotic factors in the world. Therefore, rapid development of studies on the integration between physiological, biochemical and molecular responses that can admit a systems analysis of plants is important, and knowledge of molecular mechanisms will provide breeding programs with relevance to obtaining cultivars tolerant to abiotic stresses with increased productivity. Under this research topic, reviews, new methods and scientific articles will be selected for publication based on applications to agriculture under climate change. This research topic will cover the following themes: - Adaptive capacity of plants to withstand climate change - The role of biodiversity in sustainable agriculture - Manipulation of microclimate for plant productivity - Role of plant extracts in plant stress mitigation - Phytoremediation and bioremediation factors for crop improvement - Perspective of underutilized crops under climate change - Contribution of plant secondary metabolism to stress tolerance - Plant tissue culture and crop improvement - The role of nanotechnology for climate-resilient agriculture - Pre-breeding and germplasm characterization for the development of agronomically relevant crop traits
