Botany and plant sciences

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.

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

In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the importance of reproductive biology to crop production and there has been a tremendous increase in research on reproductive structures of higher plants.

Plant nutrients are found in a relatively thin layer of soil materials that covers all of the continents of the entire world.

Pollen grains are everywhere - in the air, in the water, in soil and in the food we eat.

The science of dendrochronology has grown significantly in the past 20 years.

Preservation of nature and the environment has become one of the most important issues of the end of the twentieth century.

This seris keeps scientists and advanced studentsspecialized on a particular subject informed of the latestdevelopments and results in all different areas of botany.

As a result of the molecular genetic analysis of development similar mechanisms for the regulation of gene expression are found in a wide range of organisms.

This volume has been produced for the XI 11th EUCARPIA Congress.

Forest damage, forest decline, forest dieback - not related to biotic agents - is occurring in the Atlantic and Pacific regions.

Water is the most effective agent in the climate system to modulate energy transfer by radiative processes, through its exchanges of latent heat and within cascades of chemical processes.

Presenting an analysis of the water relationships of the major groups of organisms: fungi, plants and animals, the text examines water stress at all levels of biological organization.

Summarizing research progress achieved in 32 areas of cell biology covered in this series, this volume places special emphasis on the following topics: recognition in parasitic and symbiotic systems - the molecular biology and genetics of susceptibility and resistance of plants and animals to pathogens, parasites and symbionts - the cell to cell recognition and differentiation - the most challenging problems in developmental biology of plants and animals - the plasticity in cell to cell communication which plays a major role in cell differentiation and function.
