Principles of Plant Genetics and Breeding
The revised edition of the bestselling textbook, covering both classical and molecular plant breeding Principles of Plant Genetics and Breeding integrates theory and practice to provide an insightful examination of the fundamental principles and advanced techniques of modern plant breeding. Combining both classical and molecular tools, this comprehensive textbook describes the multidisciplinary strategies used to produce new varieties of crops and plants, particularly in response to the increasing demands to of growing populations. Illustrated chapters cover a wide range of topics, including plant reproductive systems, germplasm for breeding, molecular breeding, the common objectives of plan...
Principles of Crop Production
This book contains the most comprehensive, detailed coverage of crop production issues in the US. It provides the "how and why" things are the way they are, and recognizes the business of crop production. Other coverage includes the latest trends impacting crop production--i.e., sustainable agriculture, organic farming, environmental safety consciousness, and more. For individuals preparing for a future in agriculture and for the Crop Certification exams.
Horticulture
This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book. Now in its fourth edition, Horticulture: Principles and Practices continues to explore horticulture as a science, an art, and a business, meeting the practical information needs of everyone involved in the discipline – from the small urban gardener/hobbyist to the large-scale producer. Hailed by many as the leading text of its kind and the best introductory horticulture book available today, this new edition is completely updated to include the latest developments and newest technologies. New features include two sets of sixteen-page color inserts, over 150 new photos, and Industry Highlights provided by twelve horticulture experts. The color inserts are directly and effectively tied to the text and are referenced throughout.
Understanding Biotechnology
"The only text on the market with comprehensive coverage of biotechnology at an introductory level, this timely book has an easy-to-read style that makes it suitable for those students with or without a background in biology. While emphasizing biotechnology's core principles and practices, its cyber-based approach allows a built-in mechanism for updating information in the rapidly evolving biotech field."--Pub. desc.
Made in Africa, Made It in America
From humble beginnings in Ghana, a young girl dared to dream an impossible dream of becoming a doctor. Her inspiration was the plight of women who suffered needless distress resulting from inadequate healthcare. With faith in God, she worked very hard, made sacrifices, and pursued excellence. The dream was frustrated in Ghana, but a door opened for its resuscitation in America. She took advantage of it. There were detours and hardships, but she never gave up. After about twenty years, the dream came true. Along the way, she married, raised four wonderful children, and earned an MS, PhD, and finally an MD at a ripe age of forty four. She is now equipped to go back to help improve women's health in Ghana. America is truly a land of opportunity, but one must be willing to pay the price to take advantage of it. Theresa was truly made in Africa and she made it in America-literally through blood, sweat, and tears-all by trusting God!
Plant Biotechnology
Plant Biotechnology presents a balanced, objective exploration of the technology behind genetic manipulation, and its application to the growth and cultivation of plants. The book describes the techniques underpinning genetic manipulation and makes extensive use of case studies to illustrate how this influential tool is used in practice.
Made in Africa, Made it in America
This is a story about how through determination, persistence, planning, hard work and answering the door when opportunity knocks, a dream can eventually come true. It is a classic case of "If at first you try and fail, try and try again." Success is seldom a straight-line journey, but one that is laden with delays, detours, and disappointments. But if one does not lose hope but perseveres through thick and thin, victory can be had, and oh how sweet it is when it does. It also emphasizes the fact that dreaming without action is nothing but a pipe dream. Or, as people of faith say, faith without works is dead. Of course, when you make it in life, you must not forget from whence you came, but r...
Plant Pathogen Resistance Biotechnology
Plant pathogens and diseases are among the most significant challenges to survival that plants face. Disease outbreaks caused by microbial or viral pathogens can decimate crop yields and have severe effects on global food supply. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying plant immune response and applying this understanding to develop biotechnological tools to enhance plant defense against pathogens has great potential for moderating the impact of plant disease outbreaks. Plant Pathogen Resistance Biotechnology’s main focus is an in depth survey of the biological strategies being used to create transgenic disease resistant plants for sustainable plant resistance Plant Pathogen Resi...
Advances in Plant Breeding Strategies: Breeding, Biotechnology and Molecular Tools
The basic concept of this book is to examine the use of innovative methods augmenting traditional plant breeding towards the development of new crop varieties under different environmental conditions to achieve sustainable food production. This book consists of two volumes: Volume 1 subtitled Breeding, Biotechnology and Molecular Tools and Volume 2 subtitled Agronomic, Abiotic and Biotic Stress Traits. This is Volume 1 which consists of 21 chapters covering domestication and germplasm utilization, conventional breeding techniques and the role of biotechnology. In addition to various biotechnological applications in plant breeding, it includes functional genomics, mutations and methods of detection, and molecular markers. In vitro techniques and their applications in plant breeding are discussed with an emphasis on embryo rescue, somatic cell hybridization and somaclonal variation. Other chapters cover haploid breeding, transgenics, cryogenics and bioinformatics.
Plant Genes, Genomes and Genetics
Plant Genes, Genomes and Genetics provides a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of plant gene expression. Unique in explaining the subject from a plant perspective, it highlights the importance of key processes, many first discovered in plants, that impact how plants develop and interact with the environment. This text covers topics ranging from plant genome structure and the key control points in how genes are expressed, to the mechanisms by which proteins are generated and how their activities are controlled and altered by posttranslational modifications. Written by a highly respected team of specialists in plant biology with extensive experience in teaching at undergraduate and gradua...
