The species Cryptostegia madagascariensis Bojer ex Decne. is a taxon native to the south-west of the island of Madagascar, Africa, belonging to the family Apocynaceae. In Brazil, it is commonly known as 'trepadeira', 'unha do cão', 'leiteira' and/or 'dedo do diabo'. In the north-east, there are already records in the states of Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará, where it is invading the banks of watercourses, roadsides, open areas and pastures. C. madagascariensis is considered a highly aggressive invasive plant, particularly in riparian forests and low-lying areas, forming dense stands that alter the landscape and cause serious impacts. This work aims to address the topic of biological invasion, presenting a brief analysis of the phenomenon, and to investigate the possible impacts resulting from the invasion by C. madagascariensis on the vegetation community of remnant caatinga in the state of Ceará, Brazil. This book is intended for those interested in research on invasive alien species, as well as for those wishing to learn about techniques that assist in monitoring any changes in vegetation structure caused by invasive species.

Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints
<i> <p>Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints</i> presents key insights into accelerating the breeding of sustainable and superior varieties. </p> <p>The book explores the genetic engineering/biotechnology that has played a vital role in transforming economically important traits from distant/wild species to cultivated varieties, enhancing the quality and quantity of oil and seed yield production. Integrated nutrient management, efficient water management, and forecasting models for pests diseases outbreaks and integrated pest and pest management have also added new dimensions in breeding for sustainable production. With the rise in demand, the scientific community has responded positively by directing a greater amount of research towards sustainable production both for edible and industrial uses. </p> <p>Covering the latest information on various major world oil crops including rapeseed mustard, sunflower, groundnut, sesame, oilpalm, cotton, linseed/flax, castor and olive, this book brings the latest advances together in a single volume for researchers and advanced level students. </p>
