Presently, fossil fuels meet 88% of the energy demand, resulting in rising CO2/GHG emissions at alarming rates. The increased use of biofuels would help to mitigate climate change. Efficiently designing methods for the production of biofuels and plant-derived high-value products requires a deeper understanding of photosynthetic processes as a prerequisite for applying novel biotechnologies. Accordingly, this book provides ample information and a wealth of illustrative examples. The book’s eighteen richly illustrated chapters are divided into three thematic parts. I: Photosynthesis and Biomass Production under Changing Conditions, II: Microalgae and Engineered Crops for Production of Biofuels and High-value Products, and III: Genetic Resources and Engineering Methods to Improve Crop Plants. Readers will find the latest information on the molecular basis of photosynthetic processes in plants (including the regulatory principles that allow plants to maintain homeostasis under changing conditions), stress resistance and synthetic pathways. In addition, the basic principles of important biotechnologies, as well as examples of specially designed crops capable of growing under stress conditions with improved productivity, are presented. The book sets the course for future research in the field of biofuel development and production and provides both general and specific information for students, teachers, academic researchers, industrial teams, and general readers who are interested in new developments concerning the production of biofuels with value-added properties.Plant physiologyPlant biochemistryCell physiologyClimate changeEnvironmental engineeringBiotechnologyPlant Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33020Plant Biochemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14021Cell Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33010Climate Changehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007Environmental Engineering/Biotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U33000Canvi climàticthubFotosíntesithubEnergia de la biomassathubLlibres electrònicsthubPlant physiology.Plant biochemistry.Cell physiology.Climate change.Environmental engineering.Biotechnology.Plant Physiology.Plant Biochemistry.Cell Physiology.Climate Change.Environmental Engineering/Biotechnology.Canvi climàticFotosíntesiEnergia de la biomassa662.88Ashwani Kumar1946-edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtYau Yuan-Yeuedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtOgita Shinjiroedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtScheibe Renateedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910863127903321Climate Change, Photosynthesis and Advanced Biofuels4167987UNINA
