Biotechnology and Plant Disease Management
Punja (biological sciences, Simon Fraser University, Canada) collects studies on key approaches to managing each group of plant pathogens within the context of recent developments in the field. Broad themes include microbe-plant interactions, molecular diagnostics of plant pathogens, and enhancement of plant resistance. Chapters are in sections on investigating microbe-plant interactions for applications to disease management, molecular diagnostics of plant pathogens, enhancing resistance of plants to pathogens, and understanding microbial interactions. Some specific topics include molecular diagnostics of soilborne fungal pathogens, application of cationic antimicrobial peptides for management of plant diseases, and potential disease control strategies revealed by genome sequencing and functional genetics of plant pathogenic bacteria. B&w images and a few color illustrations are included. The readership for the book includes academics and government organizations involved in the agriculture and biotechnology sectors.
A Mindfulness Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
This book presents emerging research on the effectiveness of mindfulness methods in reducing behavior problems associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in children. The volume synthesizes current research and theories on the therapeutic uses of mindfulness, specifically for people living with developmental disabilities. In addition, it examines a promising new study in which mothers of children with ASD learn mindfulness techniques for their own use and are then trained to teach the methods to their children. The book concludes with a report of poststudy findings and a discussion of practical and methodological issues regarding mindfulness interventions for ASD. Featured topics include: A genealogy of mindfulness, from original Buddhist texts to modern health applications. Implications for further research and advancement. Appendices of basic mindfulness exercises and activities. A Mindfulness Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders is a concise resource for researchers, clinicians and other scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in developmental psychology, social work, education, and related disciplines.

Eating the Present, Tasting the Future
India's food is one of her most remarkable features: its countless tastes and styles reflect the nation's history, enduring traditions, and diversity of people and place. But it is changing at a rapid rate beyond anyone's imagination. Eating the Present, Tasting the Future ventures 'off the plate' to journey through India's contemporary foodscape to discover the myriad forces transforming what, how and where Indians are producing, trading and eating their food. At a time when food and our relationship with it are topics of increasing global interest, this is a timely, and important, work, offering unique insight into a complex society.
The Many Faces of RNA
The Many Faces of RNA is the subject for the eighth SmithKline Beecham Pharmaceuticals Research Symposia. It highlights a rapidly developing area of scientific investigation. The style and format are deliberately designed to promote in-depth presentations and discussions and to facilitate the forging of collaborations between academic and industrial partners.This symposium focuses on several of the many fundamental, advancing strategies for exploring RNA and its functions. It emphasizes the interplay between biology, chemistry, genomics, and molecular biology which is leading to exciting new insights and avenues of investigation. The book explores RNA as a therapeutic target, RNA as a tool, RNA and its interactions, along with chemical, computational, and structural investigations.
