Individual differences in drug response may arise from variations in genes that control the pharmacokinetics (ADME: Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) — the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of a drug — and pharmacodynamics (PD) — the effects of the drug in the body. Therefore, changes in systemic exposure to a drug or alterations in tissue concentrations generally lead to pharmacological differences. Genetic variations in target genes also influence the drug concentrations needed for individuals to achieve an optimal drug response. Pharmacogenetic (PGx) applications focus on genes involved in drug metabolism and pharmacodynamics, including metabolizing enzymes, drug transporters, and drug targets (pharmacogenes), along with environmental factors and intermediary molecules interacting with these proteins.

Use of Lichens in Biological Monitoring of Air Quality (Pages 61-95) Çobanoğlu Özyiğitoğlu, Gülşah
In recent years, nanotechnology has exhibited exponential growth in various sectors to accomplish market commodities with higher prospective applications. The small size particles (nanomaterials) are rapidly being used in the manufacturing of products in our daily life such as biosensors, cosmetics, food packaging, imaging, medicines, drug delivery, aerospace engineering, etc., and these products are coming into the global market approximately at the rate of 3–4 per week. Despite the manifold benefits of the power of nanomaterials, there are open questions about how the small size materials affect the environment and human health, while very few reports are available on the hazards of nanoparticles. Compared to the bulk counterpart, the small size and large specific surface area of nanoparticles endow them with high chemical reactivity and intrinsic toxicity. Such unique physicochemical properties of nanoparticles draw the global attention of scientists and environmental watchdogs to study potential risks and adverse effects of nanomaterials in the environment. Nanoparticle toxicity has pronounced effects and consequences not only for plants but also for the ecosystem in which the plants form an integral component. Plants growing in nanomaterial-polluted sites exhibit altered metabolism, growth reduction, lower biomass production, and nanoparticle accumulation, and these functions are of serious human health concern.

Environmental Significance of Lichens and Biodeterioration Pages 247-277 Gülşah Çobanoğlu Özyiğitoğlu
The current global environmental crisis is primarily the result of non-standardized parameters for environmental regulation and is impacting e.g. clean air, safe drinking water, and the quality of food, particularly in developing nations. Due to their poor/lax execution of EIA protocols, newly developing countries are preferred destinations for establishing pollution-emitting industries, which results in the degradation and depletion of their natural resources. Lack of environmental policy intervention is another major incentive to base “dirty” industries in these nations. To ensure sustainable development, the highest-priority issues include the monitoring and eradication of environmental problems stemming from economic development; virtually every form of economic development primarily results in the loss of forests and thus biodiversity, followed by declining air quality and the contamination of natural resources. Sustainable development ensures responsible interactions with the environment, to minimize the depletion or degradation of natural resources and preserve environmental quality. It involves integrated approaches to understanding the importance of environmental management systems and policy measures that lead to improved environmental performance. This book addresses the environmental concerns associated with economic development, and with approaches to attaining sustainable economic development, which include monitoring the quality of water resources, soil erosion, and degradation of the natural environment.

Mechanism and Interaction of Nanoparticle-Induced Programmed Cell Death in Plants (Pages: 175-196)

The aim of the book is to introduce the reasons for the destruction of the stones used in ancient works, the way they deteriorate and the modern restoration techniques to be applied. The effects of organisms such as fungi, blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria), algae (algae) and lichens that develop on the rock surface, on the formation of cavities, which are the most important form of biological degradation, are mentioned.

Crop Improvement

The history of Agrobacterium-related plant biotechnology goes back more than three decades with the discovery of molecular mechanisms of crown gall disease in plants. After the 1980s, gene technologies began developing rapidly and today, related to the improved gene transfer methods, plant biotechnology has become one of the most important branches of science. Till now, the most important genes related to agricultural affairs have been utilized for the cloning of plants with the deployment of different techniques used in genetic engineering. Especially, Agrobacterium tumefaciens was used extensively for transferring desired genetic materials to plants rapidly and effectively by researchers to create transgenic plants. Recognition of the biology of Agrobacterium species and newly developed applications of their T-DNA systems has been a great step in plant biotechnology.  

Responses of Organisms to Water Stress
Edited by Sener Akıncı
Publisher: InTech, 2013
ISBN 978-953-51-0933-4, Hardcover, 179 pages
The same amount of water has been present on our planet for about 4 billion years, since shortly after the Earth was formed. Since then it has cycled through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and surface runoff multiple times. Water scarcity as an abiotic factor ranging from moderate to severe stress levels, accompanied by loss of moisture in the soil, is extremely hard for most organisms to cope with, particularly terrestrial plants and their food-chain dependents. Because of the potential for increasing temporary, or possibly permanent, drought conditions in the future, there is an intense focus on improving plant resistance to drought and increasing yield performance in water-limited environments through genotype selection in important crops. This book aims to contribute to the understanding of how plants and other organisms respond to water stress conditions, and the various survival strategies adopted under differing moisture levels.

In order for Ecotoxicology, which is a rapidly developing new branch of science in the world and in Turkey, to take the place it deserves in our country and to eliminate the lack of Turkish source books on this subject, the book "Basic Principles of Ecotoxicology" has been translated from English so that people can reach the right information and use it. This book consists of fourteen chapters for students studying in the fields of biology, chemistry, environmental health, environmental engineering, veterinary medicine, agriculture, fisheries and health sciences. The fact that the chapters in the book have been translated with the devoted work of valuable researchers from different universities and disciplines will greatly contribute to the development of this field of science.

For years, isolation of foreign genes from one plant and transferring them to another and then observing the effects of new genes in transferred plants has only been a dream for a plant biologist. Today, many commercially important species are routinely transformed by different biotechnological methods. Methods available for plant transformation are arranged in three main groups: using biological vectors (virus- or bacteria -mediated transformation), direct DNA transfer techniques (chemical-, electrical-, or laser-induced permeability of protoplasts or cells), and non-biological vector systems (microprojectiles, microinjection or liposome fusion). Today in many countries several transgenic important crops such as soybean, maize, cotton, canola, sugarbeet, sugarcane, and alfalfa are available and the most preferred method is Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. In this chapter, some information about this important bacterium and mechanisms of Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer is presented.
