Plant Diversity and Conservation

The volume in hand, presents research contributions and review articles, which include some of the important areas of plant diversity and conservation such as satellite remote sensing for forest management, strategies for restoration and conservation of threatened species, and ex-situ and in-situ conservation and management of diverse plant species. A variety of other parameters related to the metabolic transformations, biotechnology in the conservation of genetic resources, molecular basis of plant-microbe interaction and heavy metal toxicity, have also been dealt with in the present volume. This volume will provide new dimensions to identify major problems and prospects in the area of plant diversaity and conservation and will generate thought-provoking ideas for conservationists, environmentalists and biotechnologies to develop new strategies for strengthening this field of immense importance to mankind. The volume intends to provide an opportunity to scientists tohave clear understanding of this subject and will; provide an interface between scientists, agriculturists, forest managers, planners and the academic world.
