Agricultural biocatalysis is of immense scientific interest nowadays
owing to its increasing importance in the efforts for more sustainable
agriculture while optimizing environmental impacts. Plant compatibility
is essential for developing eco-friendly and sustainable microbial
products. Therefore, our search for novel technologies ought to be in
the foreground, for which a thorough understanding of biochemical
processes, applications of agricultural enzymes, traits, and viruses
should get the highest priority.
Volumes 8 to 10 in this series compile the recent research on
agricultural biocatalysis by interdisciplinary teams from international
institutes for chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, and materials and
chemical engineering, who have been investigating
agricultural-biocatalytic topics related to biochemical conversions or
bioremediation, and modern biological and chemical applications
exemplified by the use of selected and highly innovative agricultural
enzymes, traits, and viruses. The editors are prominent researchers in
agrochemistry and theoretical biophysical chemistry, and these three
volumes are useful references for the students and researchers in the
fields of agrochemistry, biochemistry, biology, biophysical chemistry,
natural product chemistry, materials, and drug design. Volume 8 covers
the research on biosynthesis, biocatalysis, and photosynthesis aspects
for use in agrochemistry, including nano-biocatalytic processing,
atrazine toxicity, and theoretical studies in biocatalysis and
biological processes.
