Biographical note
Professor Jameel M. Al-Khayri is specialized in plant biotechnology and currently affiliated with the Department of Agricultural Biotechnology, King Faisal University, Saudi Arabia. He received B.S. in Biology in 1984 from the University of Toledo, M.S. in Agronomy in 1988, and Ph.D. in Plant Science in 1991 from the University of Arkansas. He is a member the International Society for Horticultural Science and Society for In Vitro Biology as well as the National Correspondent of the International Association of Plant Tissue Culture and Biotechnology. He has authored 148 research articles in referred international journals, 80 chapters, and edited several journal special issues. In addition, he edited 38 reference books on plant biotechnology, genetic resources, breeding, genomics and nanotechnology. He has been involved in organizing international scientific conferences and contributed numerous research presentations. In addition to teaching, students advising and research, he held administrative responsibilities as the Assistant Director of Date Palm Research Center, Head of Department of Plant Biotechnology and Vice Dean for Development and Quality Assurance. Dr. Al-Khayri served as a Member of Majlis Ash Shura (Saudi Legislative Council) for the 2009-2012 term. His research focused on plant in vitro culture, secondary metabolites production, genetic engineering and mutagenesis to enhance tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress. He is interested in biotechnological approaches to agricultural innovations for sustainability in support of global food security.
Green nanotechnology holds the key to transforming industries and addressing global challenges with sustainable solutions. This book explores the applications of green nanotechnology across diverse domains, from ecosystem sustainability and sustainable agriculture to cutting-edge manufacturing processes and advanced environmental monitoring. It explores innovative approaches for water purification, oil spill remediation, and wastewater treatment, along with advanced techniques for food preservation, energy harnessing, and controlling air and ocean pollution. Applications, including drug delivery and health monitoring using nanosensors, are discussed in detail, alongside critical perspectives on eco-nanotoxicology to ensure responsible and sustainable implementation. Authored by a team of 67 renowned scientists from five countries and featuring 18 meticulously reviewed chapters supported by 23 tables and 116 color figures, this book is a comprehensive guide for researchers, policymakers, and professionals striving for a sustainable future powered by nanotechnology.
