Book Description
Oil Seed Crops: Yield and Adaptations under Environmental Stress is a state-of-the-art reference that investigates the effect of environmental stress on oil seed crops and outlines effective ways to reduce stress and improve crop yield. With attention to physiological, biochemical, molecular, and transgenic approaches, the chapters discuss a variety of oil seed crops and also cover a broad range of environmental stressors including microbes, salt, heavy metals, and climate change. Featuring up-to-date research from a global group of experts, this reference provides innovative recommendations for mitigating environmental stress and promoting the healthy growth, development, and adaptation of crops.
Crop Physiology Case Histories for Major Crops

Book Description
Crop Physiology: Case Histories of Major Crops updates the physiology of broad-acre crops with a focus on the genetic, environmental and management drivers of development, capture and efficiency in the use of radiation, water and nutrients, the formation of yield and aspects of quality. These physiological process are presented in a double context of challenges and solutions. The challenges to increase plant-based food, fodder, fiber and energy against the backdrop of population increase, climate change, dietary choices and declining public funding for research and development in agriculture are unprecedented and urgent. The proximal technological solutions to these challenges are genetic improvement and agronomy. Hence, the premise of the book is that crop physiology is most valuable when it engages meaningfully with breeding and agronomy. With contributions from 92 leading scientists from around the world, each chapter deals with a crop: maize, rice, wheat, barley, sorghum and oat; quinoa; soybean, field pea, chickpea, peanut, common bean, lentil, lupin and faba bean; sunflower and canola; potato, cassava, sugar beet and sugarcane; and cotton. A crop-based approach to crop physiology in a G x E x M context Captures the perspectives of global experts on 22 crops

Book Description
Nutrient cycling is an important matter in all crop production but it is particularly important in oilseed production. The efficiency by which oilseed crops can be grown and the impact of their cultivation dictates the future of bioenergy policy. The dissertation that follows attempts to dissect the intricacies of nutrient cycling in Pacific Northwestern oilseed production to inform policy and provide farmers with valuable information. This dissertation is comprised of four chapters including 1) Nitrogen Use Efficiency In Eastern Washington Canola Production, 2) The Impact of Nitrogen Rate and Timing and Sulfur Rate On Eastern Washington Canola Grain, Oil Yield, and Oil Quality, 3) Cropping System, Nitrogen Use Efficiency, and Adoption Rate Impact on Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Potential for Pacific Northwest Canola Production, 4) High Resolution Imaging to Assess Oilseed Species' Root Hair Responses to Soil Water Stress. Canola has the potential to be a successful crop in the dryland Pacific Northwest due to its high yield potential with little available water; however, many challenges must be overcome. Nitrogen recommendations should account for canola's ability to access residual soil N and redeposit it for a following crop. Nitrogen timing and sulfur rate and timing appear to have little effect on grain and oil yield in spite of previous reports to the contrary. Canola nitrogen use efficiency has a major impact on life cycle greenhouse gas production when compared to that of fossil derived diesel. The Environmental Protection Agency's Renewable Fuels policies would do well to encourage improved nitrogen use efficiency in biofuel feedstock production to magnify the greenhouse gas mitigation potential that renewable fuels offer. Utilization of simple and inexpensive imaging techniques are effective ways to conduct root research that may help in understanding the role of plant root hairs in soil carbon accumulation and storage. High resolution imaging of various root systems under varying levels of water availability indicate root surface area, density, and architecture are significantly affected by water availability. Nutrient uptake, cropping system and soil carbon sequestration models that do not account for these differences are prone to error.
