This book is a comprehensive, extensively illustrated, practical reference guide to about 100 Canadian vegetables. It covers both commercial and home garden crops and includes essentially all of the major, minor, and potentially new vegetables of Canada.
Many North American plants have characteristics that are especially promising as candidates for expanding our food supply and generating new economically competitive crops. This book is an informative analysis of the top 100 indigenous food plants of North America, focusing on those species that have achieved commercial success or have substantial market potential. The book's user-friendly format provides concise information on each plant. It examines the geography and ecology, history, economic and social importance, food and industrial uses, and the economic future of each crop.
Cet ouvrage richement illustre constitue un guide pratique complet d'une centaine de legumes cultives au Canada, que ce soit a l'echelle commerciale ou dans les potagers domestiques."
The book provides an introduction to the basics of fungi, discussing various types ranging from edible mushrooms to Neurospora – a model system for genetics and epigenetics. After addressing the classification and biodiversity of fungi, and fungi in different ecological niches, it describes the latest applications of fungi, their role in sustainable environments and in alleviating stress in plants, as well as their role in causing plant and animal diseases. Further chapters explore the advances in fungal interactions research and their implications for various systems, and discuss plant-pathogen interactions. The book also features a section on bioprospecting, and is an extremely interesting and informative read for anybody involved in the field of mycology, microbiology and biotechnology teaching and research.
This edited volume provides state-of–the-art overview of abiotic stress responses and tolerance mechanisms of different legume crops viz., chickpea, mung bean, lentil, black gram, cowpea, cluster bean, soybean and groundnut. Legumes play an important role in human nutrition and soil health through fixation of nitrogen. Legume production and productivity are vulnerable to different abiotic stresses. A proper understanding about the physiological and molecular basis of the legume crops is essential for genetic improvement of abiotic stress tolerance. This book consists of 15 chapters covering physiological and biochemical basis, molecular physiology, molecular breeding, genetics, genomics, transgenics, epigenetics of drought, saline, high temperature and nutrient deficiency stresses, and the role of microRNAs in abiotic stress tolerance. This volume offers new perspectives in legume crop abiotic stress management, and is useful for various stakeholders, including post graduates students, scientists, environmentalists and policymakers.
Puisi adalah laboratorium kebahasaan, di mana kata-kata memesona hati sebagian orang. Ilusi yang menghipnotis tanpa nyata. Namun, tersembunyi di dalamnya, puisi menjadi suara jiwa yang terpendam. Ungkapan hati yang terdiam, tak tersampaikan oleh sesuatu yang menghalanginya. Buku ini mengupas puncak berbagai tema dalam satu kesatuan. Ia menampung kisah keluarga, kerinduan, cinta terhadap Sang Pencipta, serta segala bencana yang melanda bumi ini.
In order to produce sufficient quantities of food to feed the world's growing population, we need to increase the food producing capacities of crops and to protect the environments in which they grow. Discovering untapped plant resources is an important challenge, but a haphazard increase in food production may cause environmental damage. We need foresight and must take sound appropriate actions. The sago palm is a plant that might fulfill all of these requirements. The sago palm accumulates more starch than any other plant in the world, yet, in global terms, it continues to languish in relative obscurity. The Japanese Society of Sago Palm Studies was formed in the hope of raising its profile by hosting seminars and symposiums in Japan and overseas to help it achieve the recognition it deserves. To this end, the Society's members have worked together to produce this volume, written in an easy-to-read style. [Subject: Botany, Agriculture, Conservation, Environmental Studies]
Dalam kisah yang menyentuh ini, Salman—kini seorang kepala desa di pedalaman Kalimantan Timur, mengenang masa kecilnya yang dipenuhi kebijaksanaan dan dedikasi seorang guru sederhana—Pak Ratno. Meskipun penampilan Pak Ratno mungkin tak mencolok, setiap kata yang ia ucapkan meninggalkan kesan mendalam pada murid-muridnya, termasuk Salman.
