This volume assembles protocols for chromosome engineering and genome editing in two recently developed approaches for manipulating chromosomal and genomic DNA in plants.
Over the course of evolution, fungi have adapted to occupy specific niches, from symbiotically inhabiting the flora of the intestinal tract of mammals to saprophytic growth on leaf litter resting on the forest floor.
Cryopreservation and Freeze-Drying Protocols: Second Edition is a compilation of robust, reproducible techniques for the conservation of a wide range of biological materials.
Wild Anthropocene examines four key areas-the politics of deep time, neoliberalism's socio-ecological impacts, global population growth and inter-species entanglement-to demonstrate how literature illuminates progressive solutions to Anthropocene challenges.
The effects of climate change can already be felt around the world, and they will likely impact all facets of human civilization-from health, livelihood security, agricultural production, and shelter to international trade.
This book is the second of four volumes, which are comprehensive, well-illustrated, and authoritative works invaluable to biologists, conservationists, and others.
In Flower Development: Methods and Protocols, researchers in the field detail protocols for experimental approaches that are currently used to study the formation of flowers, from genetic methods and phenotypic analyses, to genome-wide experiments, modeling, and system-wide approaches.
The present study will help answer questions of tree type evolution, function, optimum, and tree construction types, using the approach of constructional morphology which to date has been widely neglected in palaeobotany and botany.
The subject matter of this book is divided into two sections detailing Soil (focussing on geochemistry, contamination, and remediation) and Water (focussing on hydrogeochemistry, crisis, desertification, and modelling) including case studies, review studies, and essential soil remediation and water.
Horticultural Therapy Methods: Connecting People and Plants in Health Care, Human Services, and Therapeutic Programs was the first text to describe the processes and techniques used to provide horticultural therapy interventions, and the rationale for their use.
Studies related to pathogen-mediated virus resistance in plants were instrumental in providing some of the historical observations which ultimately led to the vital discovery of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-induced gene silencing or RNA interference (RNAi), which has since revolutionized research on plant-virus interactions.
Given the vital and far-reaching applications of medicinal plant metabolites worldwide, the quality and consistency of the products as well as the very survival of various species are of the utmost importance.
Regeneration Potential in Plants delves into the intricate world of plant regeneration, exploring the biological and molecular mechanisms that enable plants to regenerate under different conditions.
This title is part of UC Presss Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.
In Chloroplast Biotechnology: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in the field detail many of the methods which are now commonly used in chloroplast molecular biology.
