​​​This book is devoted to grain legumes and include eight chapters devoted to the breeding of specific grain legume crops and five general chapters dealing with important topics which are common to most of the species in focus. Soybean is not included in the book as it is commonly considered an oil crop more than a grain legume and is included in the Oil Crops Volume of the Handbook of Plant Breeding.​Legume species belong to the Fabaceae family and are characterized by their fruit, usually called pod. Several species of this family were domesticated by humans, such as soybean, common bean, faba bean, pea, chickpea, lentil, peanut, or cowpea. Some of these species are of great relev...
This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
La Bioinformática es un campo de estudio que comprende un gran abanico de disciplinas en las que participan cientÃficos de muy diversa Ãndole. Por ello, la Bioinformática podrÃa definirse como una ciencia multidisciplinar donde convergen en armonÃa los planteamientos experimentales de la BiologÃa Molecular y Genética, con los enfoques metodológicos y tecnológicos de la Ciencia de la Computación y la IngenierÃa Informática, todo ello dirigido hacia la administración, el análisis y la comprensión del conocimiento Biológico y CientÃfico. El desarrollo de herramientas bioinformáticas ha experimentado una importante revolución en la última década, provocada por la combinaciÃ...
La biotecnologÃa vegetal ofrece las herramientas para comprender una planta a nivel celular y molecular, y aprovechar muchas de sus caracterÃsticas con un objetivo aplicado en diversos sectores productivos. La aplicación de las técnicas de ADN recombinante ha llevado a la generación de las llamadas plantas transgénicas, por la integración de un fragmento de ADN en el genoma de una célula y la regeneración de una planta a partir de dicha célula. El objetivo de este libro es dar a conocer y describir los protocolos y técnicas que se aplican en biotecnologÃa vegetal y que permiten descubrir algunas de las posibilidades que nos brinda. Las guÃas de prácticas que se presentan hacen un recorrido por las diferentes herramientas básicas como lo son los cultivos in vitro, las técnicas de transformación de plantas e identificación de los transformantes, asà como la evaluación de alimentos transgénicos y el uso de los marcadores moleculares.
"This is a little jewel of a book. Beautifully and elegantly written, it examines the political career of an important figure at the court of Philip II of Spain. It is political biography in the best sense of the term."--Richard Kagan, author of Lucrecia's Dreams
This book engages with new ways of thinking about boundaries of the early modern Hispanic past, looking at current scholarly techniques.
Isoprenoids are important in primary and secondary metabolism. They have implications in a myriad of physiological processes notably in plants, microorganisms and parasites, and biological activities at the cellular, organism, and ecosystem levels. The importance of isoprenoids in various areas of the scientific world has spurred intense research worldwide. Also their role in "nutraceuticals" has stimulated scientific curiosity. Literature on isoprenoids is widely scattered in journals with quite differing readerships and geographic distribution. A comprehensive book on isoprenoids does not exist. Isoprenoid Synthesis in Plants and Microorganisms: New Concepts and Experimental Approaches fills this gap by presenting the latest and the most applicable information on isoprenoids. The most recent TERPNET conference serves as the backdrop and provides much of the inspiration for the topics covered in the book. Additional topics of interest are covered as well, making Isoprenoid Synthesis in Plants and Microorganisms: New Concepts and Experimental Approaches the most comprehensive review of isoprenoid synthesis to date.
This historical work presents the biography of Don John of Austria, the winner of the battle of Lepanto against the Ottoman Empire and many more combats. John was an illegitimate son of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. He became a military chief in the service of, King Philip II of Spain, and is famous worldwide for his part as the admiral of the Holy Alliance fleet at the Battle of Lepanto. The author of this work, Spanish writer and journalist Luis Coloma, built interest in the readers by introducing a new kind of book that was a mixture of novel and history. He displayed the story of Don John of Austria from his tempting childhood to his death. This work is neatly documented and described to verify the facts further. Since one cannot separate the life and legacy of Don John of Austria from the turbulent period in which he lived, this work represents the history of Spain during his era. This incredible history remains exciting to the very end.
