The present book comprises almost wide aspects of elicitation or elicitor-mediated research undertaken so far, to provide a direction towards chemical hazard-free World without compromising the yield and market value of the plant-based products.
Due to alarming increase of human population and global food demand, farmers are looking for better option which can provide them huge benefits within a short period of time. Use of chemical pesticides, fungicides, or other chemical fertilizers altogether causes a huge adverse impact on the environment. Using environmentally safe elicitor molecules can solve this problem in two ways. First, their application is a cost-effective process, which can provide maximum benefit to the farmers. Second, they are safe to apply directly to the environment.Key features of the book1) It covers a vast area of research undertaken on elicitation processes.2) This book comprises both biotic and abiotic stress tolerance through elicitation.3) It highlights this low-cost technology for adoption in future for larger benefits and better future.4) Omics approaches are highlighted.5) The chapters are supported by sufficient illustrations.This book comprises almost wide aspects of elicitation or elicitor-mediated research undertaken so far, to provide a direction towards chemical hazard-free World without compromising the yield and market value of the plant-based products. This book aims to guide students at undergraduate and postgraduate level as well as to the researchers, academicians and other industry professionals.
