Ecometabolomics

Ecometabolomics: Metabolic Fluxes versus Environmental Stoichiometry focuses on the interaction between plants-particularly plants that have vigorous secondary metabolites-and the environment. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the responses of the metabolome of organisms to biotic and abiotic environmental changes. It includes an introduction to metabolomics, summaries of metabolomic techniques and applications, studies of stress in plants, and insights into challenges. This is a must-have reference for plant biologists, plant biochemists, plant ecologists and phytochemists researching the interface between plants and the environment using metabolomics. - Provides an in-depth overview of the basics of the discipline, including non-targeted analysis and quantification of plant metabolites - Outlines the applications of various analytical techniques in comprehending the total metabolome of the organism - Covers both NMR and MS-based approaches

Dr. Sumira Jan has worked out numerous medicinal plants, focusing on their phyto-geographical distribution, ontogenetic changes, chemical profiling, chemo diversity, and pharmaceutical potential. She received BioCaRe Early Career Scientist Award (2014), prestigious Fast Track Young Scientist Award (2015) and CSIR pool scientist award (2018). She has published over 40 research papers, 16 book chapters and four books (Three with Elsevier and One with Springer). All these books are authored versions focused on the abiotic stress, eco-physiology and metabolomics of various crops.
