The main aim of this book is to cover all major topics which are required to equip scholars with the recent advancement in this field. The book is divided into 12 chapters with an emphasis on specific topics. The first two chapters introduce the reader to the subject, it's history, basic principles, instrumentation and sample preparation. Chapter 3 deals with the elemental profiling, functions, biochemistry and potential toxicity of metals, along with comparative techniques. Chapter 4 discusses the importance of sample preparation techniques with the focus on microextraction techniques. Keeping in view the importance of nanomaterials and refractory materials, chapters 5 and 6 highlight the ways to characterize these materials by using AAS. The interference effects between elements are explained in chapter 7. The characterizations of metals in food and biological samples have been given in chapters 8-11.

\r\n\tBesides live biomass and decaying dead biological matter, humus constitutes an important component of organic matter in the soil. It is a general term that has been largely used to describe a group of separate but distinct humic substances, which are heterogeneous polymers formed during the process of decay and degradation of plant, animal, and microbial biomass. The humic fraction of organic matter is a stable nutrient base that serves as a slow-release source of carbon and energy for the indigenous, slow-growing microorganisms in the soil. The complexity of humic substances and their remarkable properties in agricultural and other applications have attracted and continue to attain the attention of many researchers, bringing over the years new knowledge on their structure, physicochemical and biological properties. Nevertheless, the numerous studies produced controversial results because of the difficulty to identify a precise relationship between the structure and the activity of these substances.
\r\n\r\n\tThis book aims to regroup recent advances and applications of humus and humic substances in agriculture, the environment, industry, and medicine, hopefully adding new information and shedding more light on the subject.

Increasing food production to fulfill the needs of increasing world population becomes a major concern. By the year 2050, it is expected that the human population will rise up to 10 billion. Hence, it is necessary to produce 70% more food for meeting the need of additional population. Furthermore, fighting poverty and hunger, consuming limited natural resources with more efficiencies, and acclimatizing to global warming must be taken into account to attain sustainable development [1]. Therefore, to make sure nourishment security, crop production will have to be doubled, and produced in more environmentally sustainable means [2]. However, improvements in the agriculture production process, land and water use are essential to realizing food security, poverty reduction, and total sustainable development. This can be realized by increasing cultivable land area and/or by increasing efficiently the productivity of land and water units. Really, several other factors cause a further reduction in crop productivity resulting in a lack of food security, particularly in developing countries. Of them, the availability of agricultural land, freshwater resources, ever-increasing abiotic and biotic stresses, and low economic activity in agricultural sector are the main factors. Moreover, Agriculture sector is categorized as one of the most exposed sectors to climate change. Plant productivity, principally in arid and semi-arid zones is fronting growing stresses triggered by natural and human’s activities issues. Augmented occurrence of both abiotic and biotic stresses has become the principal cause for declining productivity in main crops. There is evidence of yield drops in several crops in many parts of the world due to increasing drought, salinity stress, reduction in precipitation rate and elevated air temperature. Abiotic stresses can directly or indirectly disturb the physiological status of an organism by changing its metabolism, growth, and development. It is generally thought that abiotic stresses are considered to be the main source of yield reduction [3].
Abiotic stresses affect plants in various ways and are causes of reducing crop productivity (Figure 1). To enhance plant production, it necessities to apply cost-effective technologies to control stress conditions. Soil microorganisms, living in the soil under normal and harsh conditions, have shown great properties, which, if exploited can help agriculture for improving and sustaining crop productivity. Whereas it is well recognized that beneficial microbes can stimulate growth and increase productivity through mechanisms like increasing nutrient availability, hormone production and disease controlling, it is also becoming increasingly clear that their effects may be more far-reaching.
Adverse effects of abiotic stress on plants and the role of PGPRs in alleviation of these stresses. This figure illustrates an overview of mechanisms in microbial phytohormone-mediated plant stress tolerance. Several root associated microbes produce cytokinin (CK), gibberellin (GB), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), salicylic acid (SA), and abscisic acid (ABA), which help plants to cope with stress by improving its antioxidant potential, by up-regulation of the antioxidant system and by accumulation of compatible osmolytes therefore reducing oxidative stress-induced damage; improving photosynthetic capacity and membrane stability; promoting cell division and stomatal regulation; stimulating growth of root system, and acquisition of water and nutrients.

Soil microorganisms (SMs) are very important in naturally occurring populations that play a significant role in soil fertility, plant growth, and maintaining healthier environment. This microbial population may comprise number of microorganisms like bacteria, actinomycetes, cyanobacteria, and fungi. Some of these are considered efficient owing to their growth enhancing abilities. Among these naturally occurring populations, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been investigated widely due to their positive effect on plant growth and protecting the environment from various hazards. PGPR are free living bacteria that enhance plant growth by root colonization [5]. These are also noted as plant health promoting bacteria (PHPB) or nodule promoting bacteria (NPB) [6] and can be characterized as intracellular PGPR (iPGPR) and extracellular PGPR (ePGPR) on the basis of their proximity in related to the host plant [7]. Figure 2 shows the degree of nearness and influence of the plant-microbe interactions.
The extent of proximity and influence of the plant-microbes interactions, small colored shapes (blue, green, red, purple and yellow) represent soil microbes. Diversity and density of microbes are variable according to soil organic contents and types, distance from plant roots, plant species, and plant tissue. (Adapted from [
In the present chapter, we attempt an overview of current knowledge on how plant-PGPMs (Rhizobacteria, fungi, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF), Blue Green Algae or CyanoBacteria (BGA, CB), Actinomycetes or Actinobacteria, etc.) interactions help in alleviating abiotic stress conditions in different crop systems, which can be used for sustainable agriculture.
Stress conditions are a set of either abiotic or biotic factors that are unsuitable for plant growth of which the plant may be exposed during its various growth stages (one or more) from germination to fruiting, which may not only negatively affect its growth and productivity but may lead to entirety stopping its growth and thus its productivity. To which the plant may respond by making physiological and/or molecular and/or morphological changes or all of the previously. The plant stresses are defined as responses describing a suite of molecular and cellular processes prompted by the detection by a plant of some form of stress. These processes may be accompanied by the plant’s induces for a reduction or an increase in some plant metabolites leading to an increase in plant resistance or tolerance. These stresses can be abiotic stress such as nutrient deficit, drought (water deficit or salinity), water-logging or flooding, extreme cold, frost, heat, sodicity, and metal and metalloid toxicity or biotic stress which are responsible for the damage done to an organism by other living organisms like herbivores or pathogens, bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, beneficial and harmful insects, weeds, and cultivated or native plants.
Various abiotic stress conditions such as salinity, drought, flooding, temperature (heat, cold), nutrient elements deficiency, alkalinity, organic and inorganic pollutants and heavy metals adversely affect crop plants growth, development and productivity [9] as shown in Figure 3.
Diverse abiotic stresses and the strategic defense mechanisms adopted by the plants. This figure shows diverse abiotic stresses and the strategic defense mechanisms adopted by the plants. although the consequences of salinity, heat, drought, and chilling are different, the biochemical responses seem more or less similar. High light intensity and heavy metal toxicity also generate similar impact, but submergence/flood situation leads to degenerative responses in plants where aerenchyma are developed to cope with anaerobiosis. It is, therefore, clear that adaptive strategies of plants against variety of abiotic stresses are analogous in nature. It may provide an important key for mounting strategic tolerance to combined abiotic stresses in crop plants. (Adapted from [
Climatic changing conditions result in an increase of the intensity of heat and cold stress. The temperature stress causes alterations in membrane, water potential, and photosynthetic activity in plants. The optimum temperature for third carbon plants’ (C3 plants’) growth is stated 15–25°C by a number of scientists [25, 26, 27]. Up and down the optimum temperature, the plant performance was limited. Heat stress restricts cool-season plant development in summer in many positions of the world. Throughout the warm season, heat stress limited photosynthesis and carbohydrate buildup, augmented cell membrane damages triggered protein folding and even cell death in C3 plants [27]. The same damages have been recorded in warm-season plants, fourth carbon plants’ (C4 plant species), in the winter. Also, the C4 species uptake less water and needed to alter themselves to be able to absorb mineral elements with low solubility [28].
Nutrient elements are considered fundamental for plant growth, development, and survival. 17 essential elements are necessary to maintain plant growth and development. Three of them (C, H and O) are derived from the air and water whereas the rest (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Cl, B, Mo, and Co) are supplied either from soil or by adding fertilizers. Each of them plays a special role in plant life cycle and their necessity varies with the plant species and growth phases. Both the shortage and surplus of these nutrients lead to negative impacts on plant growth and development (Figure 4). Further, to make sure the efficient utilization of the nutrients, the environmental factors should be satisfactory. The plants absorb these elements in ionic form and its ability to absorb them is related to their quantities and distribution in the soil.
The signs of essential nutrient elements deficiency in plants.
Alkalinity achieves its specific negative effect characteristics on crop plants in alkaline soils and disturbs plants at biological and physiological level. In addition to sodium chloride (NaCl) stress, there are other salts like sodium carbonate (NaCO3) and sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) which are harmful to crops at excessive accumulations. High pH (more than eight) in alkaline soils diminishes the nutrient availability of crucial macro- and micro-nutrients, such as phosphorus (P), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe) causing nutrient deficiency and osmotic stress [29].
Organic and inorganic pollutants are repeatedly being used in our environment via human interfering comprising industrial effluent discharge and agricultural practices, e.g., unreasonable and undue application of mineral elements and plant protective materials (pesticides) to soil. These chemical pollutants are causing major dangers to human health and their environment and may be directly or indirectly affecting on crop growth, development and productivity
A deficit of one or more of the vital nutrient elements caused several alterations that may be occurred at morphological, physiological, and also molecular levels of crop plants. The data presented in Table 1 summaries these changes and in addition the symptoms that result from the deficiency of these essential nutrient elements on plants.

The rhizosphere contains the tiny parts of soil inherent to roots of plants. The average count of microorganisms at the plant root region is very high as compared with the rest of the soil. So, it is clear that plant roots have an assortment of mineral, nutrient, and metabolite components, which are considered the principle factor for captivating microorganisms to assemble and link together. Root exudate of plants is a critical factor for microbial settlement in the rhizosphere. Shifting of microorganisms regarding the root exudates has an important role in pulling force of the microbial population to colonize the plant roots.
The interactions between microbial community and crop plants are vital to the modification and endurance of both in any abiotic environment. Induced Systemic Tolerance (IST) is the expression exploited for microbe-negotiated triggers of abiotic stress reactions. The duty of microorganisms in altering abiotic stresses in plants attracted the attention of several researchers [51, 52, 53]. The intrinsic metabolic of microbes and genetic aptitudes, participate to reduce abiotic environmental stresses in the plants [54].

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) that act as PGP and conferring the plants abiotic stress tolerance.
Endophytes and rhizobacteria as PGPB have potent in mitigating salinity stress. Their direct actions involve stimulation of phytohormones production, improvement of nutrient uptake, promotion of siderophore production, and nitrogen fixation. Some other indirect roles have resembled to actions in water-deficit stress as osmotic stability, which is pivotal in both conditions, such as accumulation of osmolytes (glycine betaine, proline, trehalose, EPS, and volatile organic compounds accumulation). These compounds elevate plant growth via perpetuate ion homeostasis. PGPR improves plant tolerance to salinity stress via induced systemic tolerance (IST) [16, 122]. In this connection, [123] proved that the application of plant growth-promoting bacteria, PGPB, producing ACC deaminase enzyme or transgenic plants revealed the corresponding acdS gene, growth evolution, seeds productivity, and enhancement of
Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) supports the antioxidant apparatus of plants via managing antioxidant enzyme level, consequently, increasing the plant resistance to abiotic stresses [124]. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria mitigate the water deficit condition by altering several physiological and biochemical processes in plants via a rhizobacterial-induced drought endurance and resilience (RIDER). This procedure includes secretion of exo-polysaccharides (EPS), management of endogenous phytohormones and antioxidants, and coordinated organic solutes, e.g., sugars, amino acids, and polyamines, and/or fabricating of volatile organic constituents, dehydrins, and heat shock protein [125]. These techniques help plants to sustain water deficit by preserving plant growth, membrane stability, and enzyme constancy and effectively controlling the water and mineral uptake by increasing the surface area of root [16, 126].
Adapted microbes to high or low temperatures could alleviate their harmful effects. Microbes have explicit enzymatic structures that manage their metabolism to overcome the changing temperature and preserve their membrane and enzyme stability. Under these conditions, heat and cold shock proteins are established. These molecular chaperones contribute resistance to adjacent high-temperature stress [16, 127]. These severe conditions caused protein denaturation, which is handled with trehalose through formation of a gel-like web to save plants from dehydration [128]. Cold-adapted microbes found at high-altitude agro-ecosystem, have a vast prospect to assist plants in alleviating unfavorable climatic conditions. In cold desert of the Himalayas, India psychrophilic and psychro-tolerant bacteria exhibited plant growth-stimulating characteristics, including
Application of encouraging phytoremediation technology depends on the integrated effect of plants and associated microbes. It has a valuable strategy to clean up the biodegradation of organic pollutants and heavy metal-polluted soils.
Application of encouraging phytoremediation technology depends on the integrated effect of plants and associated microbes. It has a valuable strategy to clean up biodegradable organic pollutants and heavy metal-polluted soils [131]. PGPB responds to heavy metal stress via different mechanisms involving bioaccumulation, enzymatic detoxification, metal mobilization, immobilization, volatilization, and EPS complexation as well as accumulation of phytohormone, solubilization of phosphate, siderophore, ACC-deaminase, and NF [132, 133]. Metal solubility and accessibility in the soil were influenced by microbes. Any metal pollutants cannot be easily degraded, so they must be either stabilized or extracted from the soil. Metal-chelating siderophores and enzyme mechanisms involved in phosphate solubilization expedite heavy metal uptake under stress conditions [134]. Growth-promoting microbes build up chelating compounds such as siderophores which may decrease soil pH and promote metal solubility via complex formation. Also, the production of organic acids, such as citric, gluconic, and oxalic, may promote metal mobilization, and uptake consequently, accumulation in plant shoots, by phytoextraction. Redox processes promote bioavailability of metals as reduction of Mn (IV) to Mn (III) and Fe (III) to Fe (II) so, become less toxic. Moreover, the bioavailability could increase using bio-surfactants and phyto-chelatins via formation of the complex with heavy metals [134, 135, 136, 137, 138]. Phyto-stablization through growth-enhancing bacteria and plant development may reduce metal availability in highly metal-polluted soils. This may occur via the formation of new specific metals, altered metal adsorption on plant cell walls, or ejection through downfall. Phyto-management is a combination of several phyto-technologies, a sustainable application and cost valid can contribute enormous assistance in repair of metal-polluted soils [139].
The bio-fertilizers, bio-stimulators, and bio-control effects of PGPRs (Table 4) are contingent on their natural ability, as well as the interaction manner and militant endurance circumstances. GPB promotes plant proliferation with direct and/or indirect techniques [6, 145]. Concerning direct mechanisms, it involved the synthesis of compounds that expedite the uptake of crucial nutrients and micronutrients from the soil and accumulation of plant growth regulators, such as phosphorus and potassium solubilization, iron and zinc sequestration, siderophore and plant hormone accumulation, and atmospheric nitrogen fixation. Regarding the indirect techniques, it occurs through the accumulation of HCN and antifungal components, hostile activity regarding pathogenic organisms, and resistance to unfavorable stress conditions. Moreover, the bacteria can promote systemic resistance in plants via the accumulation of certain metabolites that provide extracellular signals and stimulate a series of internal processes. Ultimately, these signals are recognized by different plant cells responsible on the promotion of the defense system.

---|---|---|---|
Bio-fertilizer | An ingredient that has microbes (bacteria, fungi, AMF,BGA AB etc.) which, when applied on the seed, plant surface or soil, colonizes the environmental of roots and stimulate plant growth by various ways like, increased supply of primary nutrients for the host plant | Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) Phosphate solubilizing microbes | [140, 141] |

In addition to bacteria, fungi especially mycorrhizae are considered pivotal plant growth stimulators. Mycorrhizae are mainly divided into mycorrhizal fungi (MF) and vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi. These types of fungi are either still connected externally with the host plant (ectomycorrhizae) or they may organize endosymbiotic associations (VAM). They form extended networking of fungal mycelium, so, maximize nutrient uptake via roots. In this connection, [146] concluded that the endophyte root fungal of

Agriculture is the backbone of developed and particularly developing countries, with more than 60% of the population of the developing countries depending on it for their livelihood. Increasing food production to fulfill the needs of an increasing world population becomes of a major concern. Despite the necessity of doubling agricultural production, in terms of quantity and quality, to cope with the worsening increase in the global population and to meet the increasing humanitarian needs, the agricultural sector faces many abiotic and biotic stress conditions. Additionally, the great climate changes resulting from global warming lead to an increase in the negative impact of these stressors. Throughout this literature study, it is well established that the abiotic stress conditions (salinity, drought, high and low temperature, alkalinity, and organic and inorganic pollution have great side effects on plants (decreasing in plant growth and productivity, physiological changes, alteration in osmotic balance and ion cytotoxicity). Moreover, the side effects of abiotic stress conditions have been expected to be increased because of the bad or nonsustainable agricultural practices, water scarcity and reduced arable land, soil degradation, human activity, and the climate change (global warming of the planet). Hence, it has become a necessity to reduce the different causes behind the increasing abiotic stress conditions. On one hand, these can be achieved through good and sustainable agricultural practices such as agricultural rotation system, integrated crop management, integrated nutrient management, and integrated pest management re-mapping of agricultural map in the light of climate change, soil fertility,

The problem is particularly severe in populations where rice is the staple food and diversity of diet is limited, as white rice contains no micronutrients. Golden Rice is a public-sector product designed as an additional intervention for VAD. There will be no charge for the nutritional trait, which has been donated by its inventors for use in public-sector rice varieties to assist the resource poor, and no limitations on what small farmers can do with the crop—saving and replanting seed, selling seed and selling grain are all possible. Because Golden Rice had to be created by introducing two new genes—one from maize and the other from a very commonly ingested soil bacterium—it has taken a long time to get from the laboratory to the field. Now it has been formally registered as safe as food, feed, or in processed form by four industrialised counties, and applications are pending in developing countries. The data are summarised here, and criticisms addressed, for a public health professional audience: is it needed, will it work, is it safe and is it economic?

The product of hydroxylation is hormone-active form of vitamin D–1,25(OH)2D. 1,25(OH)2D binds to specific vitamin D receptor (VDR) and regulates the expression of genes involved in bone remodeling (classical function) and genes that control immune response, hormone secretion, cell proliferation, and differentiation (nonclassical functions). VD deficiency is prevalent around the globe and may be one of the key factors for diabetes development. The direct association between vitamin D deficiency and type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes has been proven. Detection of VDR in pancreas and adipose tissue, skeletal muscles, and immune cells allowed implying the antidiabetic role of vitamin D by enhancing insulin synthesis and exocytosis, increasing the expression of the insulin receptor, and modulating immune cells’ functions.

Biochemistry examines macromolecules - proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids – and their building blocks, structures, functions, and interactions. Much of biochemistry is devoted to enzymes, proteins that catalyze chemical reactions, enzyme structures, mechanisms of action and their roles within cells. Biochemistry also studies small signaling molecules, coenzymes, inhibitors, vitamins, and hormones, which play roles in life processes. Biochemical experimentation, besides coopting classical chemistry methods, e.g., chromatography, adopted new techniques, e.g., X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, NMR, radioisotopes, and developed sophisticated microbial genetic tools, e.g., auxotroph mutants and their revertants, fermentation, etc. More recently, biochemistry embraced the ‘big data’ omics systems. Initial biochemical studies have been exclusively analytic: dissecting, purifying, and examining individual components of a biological system; in the apt words of Efraim Racker (1913 –1991), “Don’t waste clean thinking on dirty enzymes.” Today, however, biochemistry is becoming more agglomerative and comprehensive, setting out to integrate and describe entirely particular biological systems. The ‘big data’ metabolomics can define the complement of small molecules, e.g., in a soil or biofilm sample; proteomics can distinguish all the comprising proteins, e.g., serum; metagenomics can identify all the genes in a complex environment, e.g., the bovine rumen.
