This unique book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date collection of information on the genetic factors, agronomic production methods, and environmental factors that impact the content of vitamins in plants.
Plant viruses are of considerable interest to the science of biology, and their study has contributed significantly to the elucidation of several mysteries of traditional and molecular biology.
Pesticide handlers have never had an easy time keeping abreast of the regulations that affect them, but it is getting even more difficult as public pressure adds more layers of new rules.
This new volume highlights the latest strides made in the fields of agricultural biotechnology, encompassing topics from molecular biology, genetic engineering, proteomics, molecular docking, and drug delivery.
The first section of this volume is aimed to provide a comprehensive review of the many varied and often empirically derived techniques and procedures currently in use to produce monoclonal hybridoma cell lines and to characterize the antibodies secreted.
The importance of low temperature stress physiology research has become increasingly apparent in agriculture for productions of food, fibre and ornamental plants.
This book presents a systematic and comprehensive review of the information on chromatographic processes that involve the formation of coordination compounds, aiming not only to demonstrate the achievements that have been made in the theory of praxis of chromatography, but also to point out, as far as possible, the future of potential of ligand exchange chromatography.

These volumes, Cytolytic Lymphocytes and Complement: Effectors of the Immune System, originate from the realization that pathways of recognition and killings of foreign targets follow similar routes in the humoral and cellular part of the immune system.
This book discusses; somaclonal variation in crop improvement, the role of tissue culture in rapid clonal propagation and production of pathogen-free plant, protoplasts in crop improvement, cell selection and long-term high-frequency regeneration of cereals and legumes, agrobacteria-mediated gene transformation and vectors for gene cloning in plants, and plant frost injury and its management.
The purpose of this book is to provide a reference guide on principles and practices of cloning agricultural plants via in vitro techniques for scientists, students, commercial propagators, and other individuals who are interested in plant cell and tissue culture especially its application for cloning.
Chemical Dynamics in Freshwater Ecosystems reviews the processes that control the distribution and impacts of chemical substances discharged into freshwater aquatic environments.
Biotreatment of Agricultural Wastewater is based on a symposium held in Lake Arrowhead, California in 1986, supported by a coalition of federal, state, and local agencies, and sponsored by the engineering firm of Swanson/Oswald Associates (Lafayette, California) and the research and development firms of Aquasearch, Inc.
