This detailed volume presents methodologies for studying reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism in plant cells, including techniques for detecting different types of ROS such as superoxide radicals, hydrogen peroxide or singlet oxygen, as well as ROS generating systems such as xanthine oxidoreductase.
Known as "e;a dream place for scientists"e; the Lamto savannas, located on the edge of the Cote d'Ivoire rain forests, are some of the only savannas in the world where ongoing ecological research has endured for over forty years.
Today, at the beginning of the third millenium, just three cereal grains - wheat, rice and maize - dominate the world's food supply, accounting for some 75 % of all grains produced.
This book discusses the controversial and conflicting hypotheses on the origin of angiosperms, which was generally assumed to be restricted to the Cretaceous and later ages.
This textbook on the applied aspects of soil physics covers introduction to soil physical properties and processes, and their evaluation and management in relation to plant growth.

The book reviews key developments in downy mildew research, including the disease, its distribution, symptomatology, host range, yield losses, and disease assessment; the pathogen, its taxonomy, morphology, phylogeny, variability, sporulation, survival and perpetuation, spore germination, infection, pathogenesis, seed infection, disease cycle, epidemiology, forecasting, and fine structures.
Recent changes in the pattern of agricultural practices from use of hazardous pesticides to natural (organic) cultivation has brought into focus the use of agriculturally important microorganisms for carrying out analogous functions.
This title offers 62 chapters divided among three volumes covering the latest topics dealing with Doubled Haploid (DH) technology, as well as methods to produce DHs in different species through different in vivo and in vitro approaches.
Refinement in sequencing technologies and potential of genomic research resulted in meteoric growth of biological information such as sequences of DNA, RNA and protein requiring databases for efficient storage, management and retrieval of the biological information.
This Volume contains the papers presented by twenty-eight invited speakers at the symposium entitled, "e;Genetic Manipulation of Woody Plants,"e; held at Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, from June 21-25, 1987.
It follows naturally from the widely accepted Darwinian dictum that failures of populations or of species to adapt and to evolve under changing environments will result in their extinction.
The evolution of genome's modification by genetic engineering was characterized by a major technological breakthrough with the discovery of CRISPR in 2012.
This volume - the first of this series dealing with angiosperms - comprises the treatments of 73 families, representing three major blocks of the dicotyledons: magnoliids, centrosperms, and hamamelids.
