Global agriculture production systems are confronted with difficulties due to increased food demand, rising hunger and malnutrition, negative climate change effects, and overuse of natural resources. According to the FAO's definition of sustainable food and agriculture, agricultural strategies should support technologies that increase output without having a negative impact on biodiversity or natural resources, while also boosting productivity. A plant’s biostimulants are natural products which stimulate a plant’s nutrition and productivity through enhancing nutrient use efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress and quality traits. The present book studies arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi…

Morphological Taxonomy of Angiosperms – Textbook of Flowering Plant Families
Amborellales – Buxales
The investigation of biodiversity, particularly in the ‘hotspots’, begins with the identification of living objects – the animals, fungi, and plants comprising the ecosystem. In the field conditions, it is important to reveal the attribution of the object to a taxon of higher level – to one or another family (this identification is later checked in the lab and can be corrected). This book describes for the first time in details morphological characters of all modern angiosperm families both in a wide sense (419 families according to…
