<p>"Buckwheat: Forgotten crop for the Future offers an overview of this globally important crop, including its history, origin and its importance to functional food sector. Due to its short growth span, ability to grow at higher altitudes and superior quality of its protein, buckwheat is considered as an important crop for addressing global food requirements. The book also provides upto date information on the abiotic stress tolerance properties of the crop including its hyperaccumulating potential. The book talks about the issues and challenges being faced for adopting this crop and the ways to address and overcome these limitations. The book guides the readers through different varietal adaptations and provides information on appropriate research directions. This book would serve as an ideal guide for researchers and advanced-level students seeking better understanding of the buckwheat crop. Introduces the buckwheat's origin, history and diversity Summarizes the distribution of buckwheat species around the world Presents agro-techniques and cultivation practices of buckwheat Explores the nutraceutical potential of buckwheat Includes adaptation of buckwheat towards different environmental factors affecting growth and production Discusses the reasons for declining buckwheat production Addresses the strategies for buckwheat crop improvement"--</p>

Sulphur dioxide is well recognized phototoxic air pollutant and can also be utilized as a  potential source of sulphur for plants growing in sulphur deficient soils. It is unique among the gases for acting as nutrient and as well as a toxic agent. Thus assessments of plant responses to sulphur dioxide must consider  positive as well as negative impacts.sulphur dioxide will achieve a maximum growth rate at a concentrations which are close to the metabolic requirements of the plant, however toxicity will occur at concentrations above the metabolic requirements. This study assessed the plant responses to sodium metabisulphite (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 in µgm/l) In Brassica Campestris cv. Pusa gold by evaluating physiological and biochemical parameters. The study also suggests the suitability of some of the  parameters for employing them as reliable bioindicators of sulphur stress.
