Botany and plant sciences

A small informal symposium on "e;Molecular Genetics"e; was organized by us on behalf of the "e;Gesellschaft Deutscher Naturforscher und Arzte"e; and took place in Berlin in October 1967.

In biological literature, several definitions of quantitative autoradio- graphy are given.

Sexual reproduction in the fungi is extensively regulated by incom- patibility, which determines, in the absence of any morphological differ- entiation, the pattern of mating among individual strains.

A century of research on heterostylous plants has passedsince the publication of Charles Darwin's book "e;TheDifferent Forms of Flowers on Plants of the Same Species"e; in1877 summarizing his extensive observations and experimentson these complex breeding systems involving geneticpolymorphisms of floral sex organs.

A series of concise books, each by one or several authors, will provide prompt, world-wide information on approaches to analyzing ecological systems and their interacting parts.

The analysis of vegetables and vegetable products is now an important part of everyday life.

Provided here are both underlying theory and recent resultsconcerning the propagation and use of clones in research andin production forestry.

Wild taxa are invaluable sources of resistance to diseases, insects/ pests, nematodes, temperature extremes, salinity and alkalinity stresses, and also of nutritional quality; adaptation; genetic diversity and new species.

Because of the great variety of problems which this genus presents to biologists, Oenothera belongs to the best-known genera of plants not used economically.

The esculent Lycopersicon esculentum, long thought to be poisonous, has become a major U.

It is refreshing to find a book treating alkaloid analysis with all the latest techniques such as inverse-detected two dimensional NMR, GC/MS, and HPLC associated techniques.

Clonal forestry has come of age.

An introductory discussion of basic chromosome structure andfunction preceeds the main text on the application ofcytogenetic approaches to the analysis of the manipulationof both the genetic make-up and the genetic transmissionsystem of plant breeding material.

Given the growing importance of essential oils and waxes, this volume deals with the analysis of a broad spectrum of these compounds from many plant origins.

Rice is the most important cereal crop which feeds more than half the population of the world.

Intracellular junctions provide routes for direct cell-to-cell signalling in both plants and animals.

The majority of scientists interested in fertilization and early developmental processes will undoubtably have encountered the works of Alberto Monroy at some time in their careers.

Taxonomy is fundamental to understanding the variety of lifeforms, and exciting expansions in molecular biology are re-volutionising the obtained data.

Mutation breeding has been introduced into modern plant breeding in the early 1940's.

When trying to solicit authors for this book it became apparent that the causal factors for heterosis at the physiological and biochemical level are today almost as obscure as they were 30 years ago.

Since the Russian edition of this book was published in 1975 many new research works have appeared which have made necessary some additions for the English edition, to reflect progress in molecular developmental genetics.

view than its own proper males should fecundate each blossom.

The aim of the monographs is to foster effective intra- and interdisciplinary communication between geneticists, and plant and animal breeders.

Our knowledge of the biochemistry and biophysics of dinitrogen fixa- tion has developed rapidly in the 15 years since the first N2-fixing enzyme system was successfully extracted from a bacterium.

In recent years, molecular biology has infiltrated into all branches of botany.

Fifty million years ago, the Arctic Ocean was a warm sea, bounded by lush vegetation of the warm-temperate shores of Scandinavia, Siberia, Alaska and the Northwest Territories.

Environmental stresses, such as high and low temperature, salinity, and drought, represent limiting factors to agricultural productivity worldwide.

Presented here is an analysis of plant development and plant metabolism using the tools of genetics and molecular biology, such as mutant analysis, mutation tagging, mapping using polymorphic characters and basic molecular biology techniques.

The cambium has been variously defined as follows: "e;The actively dividing layer of cells that lies between, and gives rise to, secondary xylem and phloem (vascular cambium)"e; (IAWA 1964); "e;A meristem with products of periclinal divisions commonly contributed in two directions and arranged in radial files.

The Caryophyllales are one of the few higher taxa of theflowering plants ofwhich the size and delimitation againstother taxa is undisputed.

Plant leaves are covered by a thin, lipoidal, non-living membrane called the cuticle.

Reviewed here is the current state of knowledge concerning the relationship between global change and biodiversity of temperate ecosystems.

With one new volume each year, this series keeps scientists and advanced students informed of the latest developments and results in all areas of botany.

Presented here is a comprehensive account of boththeoretical and practical aspects of sugarcane production.
