This compilation begins by analyzing seed development in sunflowers, exploring in detail the molecular activity of sunflower seeds throughout their three phases of development. Chapter Two describes the nutraceutical values of Fenugreek, an annual herb native to southern Europe and Asia which is used in medicinal and nutritional contexts. Chapter Three discusses the necessity of pest management in agriculture and the negative consequences of pesticides, including health and environmental effects as well as the emergence of resistance in pests, and how innovations in the development of bio-pesticides can address these problems. Chapter Four presents the use of nanomaterials for production, protection, and quality improvement in Cucumis melo, a species of melon that has been developed into many cultivated varieties. Chapter Five also deals with Cucumis melo and discusses how breeding based on advanced molecular sequencing techniques can improve fruit quality. Finally, Chapter Six reviews the physiological and biochemical effects of Zinc stress on radish (Raphanus sativus L.), an economically important vegetable crop worldwide.
