Produktbeschreibung
This edited book focuses on various research topics and constraints over the seaweed sector's sustainable development. Seaweed potentially contributes to multiple Sustainable Development Goals and thus there is a growing interest in seaweeds sectors for various industrial and ecosystem services. This book particularly focuses on the biological and biotechnological processes to aid the large-scale commercial seaweed farming. Developing quality material, disease resistance and heritable improvements in the existing germplasm sourced from wild populations, protoplast and callus-based technologies, and germplasm preservation are the major focus areas of the book.

The information and knowledge provided by this book would facilitate evidence-based policymaking and sector management in seaweed development at the national and global levels. The seaweed sector has already been established or identified as sunrise sector in Asian, American, European and African countries. In these nations, this volume will act as valuable reference material for marine-sector professionals and government representatives as well.
Autorenporträt
Dr. Mangal S. Rathore currently holds the position of principal scientist in the Division of Applied Phycology and Biotechnology at CSIR-Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSIR-CSMCRI), located in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India. Additionally, Dr. Rathore serves as an associate professor at the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR) in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. His research focuses on studying the biochemical and molecular responses in plants thriving in extreme environments, particularly seaweeds with a primary aim to improve strains and germplasms to add the commercial seaweed farming towards achieving "SDG" under Blue Economy program. The core of Dr. Rathore's work lies in utilizing seaweeds as unconventional genetic resources to revolutionize agriculture by integrating or translating the unique attributes of seaweed into crop plants.  Dr. Rathore's current projects emphasize genomic, proteomic, and metabolomics strategies to examine seaweed responses, fostering advancements in seaweed cultivation and genetic enhancement. Dr. Rathore has an extensive publication record, including over 70 research articles in national and international journals, showcasing his commitment to disseminating valuable scientific knowledge.   Prof. Dr. Vaibhav A. Mantri is currently a Senior Principal Scientist and Divisional Chair (Head) of Applied Phycology and Biotechnology Division at CSIR-Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute, Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India. Dr. Mantri has over 20 years of experience in Applied Phycology and has published over 130 research papers. His research group is engaged in studies centred around improving cultivation techniques for economically important seaweeds to achieve year-round farming. He is also trying to establish environmental implications of seaweed cultivation in tropical waters to achieve 'Sustainable Development Goals' under the framework of 'Blue economy.' He has two patents to his credit. He has developed and transferred technologies to various industries.
