With one volume each year, this series keeps scientists and advanced students informed of the latest developments and results in all areas of the plant sciences.
This volume provides a comprehensive overview on developmental origins of health and disease regarding various factors related to the origins of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) from early life.
This book focuses on the importance and roles of seed microbiomes in sustainable agriculture by exploring the diversity of microbes vectored on and within seeds of both cultivated and non-cultivated plants.
This book discusses the latest developments in plant-mediated fabrication of metal and metal-oxide nanoparticles, and their characterization by using a variety of modern techniques.
This book includes a series of reviews on general aspects of biomarker use in the study of psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases and the development of medications involved in their treatment.
Population genomics is a rapidly emerging field that has the potential to transform our understanding of how evolutionary forces shape genomic diversity among microbes.
Advances in genome-scale DNA sequencing technologies have revolutionized genetic research on ancient organisms, extinct species, and past environments.
Development of superior crops that have consistent performance in quality and in quantity has not received the same emphasis in the field of genetics and breeding as merited.
Population genomics has revolutionized various disciplines of biology including population, evolutionary, ecological and conservation genetics, plant and animal breeding, human health, medicine and pharmacology by allowing to address novel and long-standing questions with unprecedented power and accuracy.
Plant endophytes are a potential source for the production of bioactive compounds that can fight against devastating diseases in both plants and humans.
This volume reviews various facets of Agrobacterium biology, from modern aspects of taxonomy and bacterial ecology to pathogenesis, bacterial cell biology, plant and fungal transformation, natural transgenics, and biotechnology.
Bioinformatics is an integrative field of computer science, genetics, genomics, proteomics, and statistics, which has undoubtedly revolutionized the study of biology and medicine in past decades.
Advances in molecular biology and genome research in the form of molecular breeding and genetic engineering put forward innovative prospects for improving productivity of many pulses crops.
The view "e;It's all in our genes and we cannot change it"e; developed in the past 150 years since Gregor Mendel's experiments with flowering pea plants.
This book is the first comprehensive volume on the genetics and genomics of pineapple and provides an overview of the current state of pineapple research.
This book deliberates on the concept, strategies, tools, and techniques of allele mining in grain legume crops and its application potential in genome elucidation and improvement, including studying allele evolution, discovery of superior alleles, discerning new haplotypes, assessment of intra- and interspecific similarity, and also studies of gene expression and gene prediction.
Population genomics has revolutionized various disciplines of biology including population, evolutionary, ecological and conservation genetics, plant and animal breeding, human health, medicine and pharmacology by allowing to address novel and long-standing questions with unprecedented power and accuracy.
This book highlights the uses for underutilized crops, presenting the state-of-the-art in terms of genome sequencing for over 30 crops, previously understudied and under-researched.
Désormais, c’est grâce à des analyses chimiques et à des instruments mathématiques, tout autant qu’aux fouilles archéologiques, que nous pouvons déterminer ce qui s’est produit dans l’histoire de l’humanité il y a des centaines de milliers d’années.
Identification de l’ADN, développement du génie génétique, isolement des gènes responsables de maladies graves, décodage du génome humain : la génétique a ouvert d’immenses espoirs pour notre santé.
Dès son apparition et au fil du temps, l’homme a été capable de s’adapter, au point de pouvoir régner sans conteste sur la planète grâce à la domination qu’il a exercée sur les autres espèces, puis sur la nature et, pour finir, sur lui-même.
L'essentiel des contributions au colloque international organisé à Paris en 1989 sur les développements les plus récents des manipulations génétiques, du projet de séquençage du génome humain et des biotechnologies.
Les progrès fulgurants de la paléogénétique – l’analyse de l’ADN contenu dans les ossements anciens – permettent de reconstituer les flux migratoires qui ont façonné l’Europe au cours du temps.
