Presently, fossil fuels meet 88% of the energy demand, resulting in rising CO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e\/GHG emissions at alarming rates. The increased use of biofuels would help to mitigate climate change. Efficiently designing methods for the production of biofuels and plant-derived high-value products requires a deeper understanding of photosynthetic processes as a prerequisite for applying novel biotechnologies. Accordingly, this book provides ample information and a wealth of illustrative examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe book’s eighteen richly illustrated chapters are divided into three thematic parts. I: \u003ci\u003ePhotosynthesis and Biomass Production under Changing Conditions\u003c\/i\u003e, II: \u003ci\u003eMicroalgae and Engineered Crops for Production of Biofuels and High-value Products\u003c\/i\u003e, and III: \u003ci\u003eGenetic Resources and Engineering Methods to Improve Crop Plants\u003c\/i\u003e. Readers will find the latest information on the molecular basis of photosynthetic processes in plants (including the regulatory principles that allow plants to maintain homeostasis under changing conditions), stress resistance and synthetic pathways. In addition, the basic principles of important biotechnologies, as well as examples of specially designed crops capable of growing under stress conditions with improved productivity, are presented. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe book sets the course for future research in the field of biofuel development and production and provides both general and specific information for students, teachers, academic researchers, industrial teams, and general readers who are interested in new developments concerning the production of biofuels with value-added properties. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr. Ashwani KUMAR\u003c\/b\u003e is an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow (Germany) and Professor Emeritus\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003eDepartment of Botany, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, India.
