The use of fossil fuels results in rising CO2 and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, causing global temperature rise and climate change that will negatively impact human health, the food supply, and eventually worsen hunger and misery. 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.

Informazioni sull’autore
Dr. Ashwani KUMAR is an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow (Germany) and Professor Emeritus, Department of Botany, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, India. He initially worked with Professor Dr. K. H. Neumann at the Institute of Plant Nutrition, Justus Liebig University Giessen, Germany, on the photosynthetic apparatus in vitro and in vivo, and subsequently with Professor Dr. Sven Schubert on the physiology and role of enzymes in salinity stress resistance with support from an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship. A former JSPS visiting professor to Japan, Dr. Kumar has published 220 research papers and 23 books. Currently, he is the President of the Indian Botanical Society.
Dr. Yuan-Yeu YAU (aka Frank Yau) received his B.Sc. in Botany from National Taiwan University (NTU) in Taiwan, and received his Master and Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA. He subsequently worked at the University of California Berkeley and the Plant Gene Expression Center (USDA-ARS) in Albany (California, USA); the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Full Professor); and Northeastern State University (Oklahoma, USA). His work focuses on developing clean-gene technologies using microbial site-specific recombination (SSR). He has also worked on cotton transformation and the production of anti-stroke drugs using molecular farming. He is an active member of Research Gate, a professional network for scientists and researchers.
Dr. Shinjiro OGITA has over two decades of experience in the field of plant biotechnology. In 1992, he began his research career as a master student at the Graduate School of Agriculture, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT), Japan. In 1997, he received his Ph.D. in Agriculture from the United Graduate School of Agriculture, TUAT, Japan. He is an expert on cell and tissue cultures, and on transformation technologies for higher plants. He iscurrently a full professor and director of the Field Sciences Center, Prefectural University of Hiroshima (PUH), Japan.
Dr. Renate SCHEIBE held the Chair of Plant Physiology until 2019, teaching on all aspects of plant physiology. Her research chiefly focuses on redox-regulation and energy metabolism; her interests include the molecular mechanisms for maintenance of redox-homeostasis in connection with stress adaptation, which she explores using approaches ranging from protein chemistry and enzymology, to ecophysiology. She has published more than 160 papers, and is now actively contributing to the scientific community with editorial tasks and as a member of the German Research Integrity group. She was elected as a Corresponding Member of the American Society of Plant Biologists and an Honorary Member of the German Botanical Society.

Diritto di recesso
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
