ROS Regulation during Plant Abiotic Stress Responses
Plants are continuously exposed to a wide range of environmental conditions, including cold, drought, salt, heat, which have major impact on plant growth and development. To survive, plants have evolved complex physiological and biochemical adaptations to cope with a variety of adverse environmental stresses. Among them, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key regulators and play pivotal roles during plant stress responses, which are thought to function as early signals during plant abiotic stress responses. ROS were long regarded as unwanted and toxic by-products of physiological metabolism. However, ROS are now recognized as central players in the complex signaling network of cells. Therefor...
Advances in Unconventional Computing
The unconventional computing is a niche for interdisciplinary science, cross-bred of computer science, physics, mathematics, chemistry, electronic engineering, biology, material science and nanotechnology. The aims of this book are to uncover and exploit principles and mechanisms of information processing in and functional properties of physical, chemical and living systems to develop efficient algorithms, design optimal architectures and manufacture working prototypes of future and emergent computing devices. This second volume presents experimental laboratory prototypes and applied computing implementations. Emergent molecular computing is presented by enzymatic logical gates and circuits,...
World Congress of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering 2006
These proceedings of the World Congress 2006, the fourteenth conference in this series, offer a strong scientific program covering a wide range of issues and challenges which are currently present in Medical physics and Biomedical Engineering. About 2,500 peer reviewed contributions are presented in a six volume book, comprising 25 tracks, joint conferences and symposia, and including invited contributions from well known researchers in this field.
Philosophy of Plant Cognition
This volume features new research about the philosophy of plant intelligence and plant cognition, one of the most intriguing and complex current debates at the intersection of biology, cognitive science and philosophy. The debate about plant cognition is marked by deep disagreements. Some theorists are confident that the empirical evidence supports the ascription of cognitive capacities to plants. Others hold that such claims are overblown, and defend more traditional, non-cognitive accounts of plant behavior. Still others seek to formulate intermediate positions. This volume brings together leading researchers from across this theoretical spectrum to tackle the foundational questions that a...
Reality, Science and the Sanatan
Explore the captivating confluence of ancient wisdom and modern science in "Reality Science and Sanatan". Authored by a seasoned police officer and medical graduate, this ground-breaking exploration unveils the profound connections between Sanatan philosophy and contemporary Science and physics. Sanatan philosophy stands out for its profound depth and striking parallels with modern science, owing to the extraordinary gifts of ancient Indians: a remarkable capacity for abstraction, mastery in mathematics, and the precision of Sanskrit as a perfect language for expression. In a commendable and rare feat, the author, with dual expertise in medicine and law enforcement, defies conventions. Few contemporaries dare to venture where ancient philosophy meets the frontiers of modern science, making this literary endeavour an extraordinary achievement. Brace yourself to expand your mind and challenge preconceptions in a world that defies understanding, as this unique journey beckons you to unravel the mysteries of existence.
Planta Sapiens: The New Science of Plant Intelligence
“Weaves science and history into an absorbing exploration of the many ways that plants rise to the challenge of living.” —Merlin Sheldrake, author of Entangled Life An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence. Decades of research document plants’ impressive abilities: they communicate with each other, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is that although plants may not have brains, their internal workings reveal a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in flexible, f...
Planta sapiens
Cosa significa essere una pianta? Non è una domanda che ci capita spesso di formulare, immersi nel grigio delle nostre città. La scienza ha studiato a lungo i meravigliosi modi in cui le piante comunicano, si comportano e modellano il nostro ambiente, spesso relegandole però a un ruolo secondario della nostra frenetica vita animale. Paco Calvo ci offre una nuova prospettiva sulla loro biologia e sulle scienze cognitive. Non solo «polmoni verdi» e complementi d'arredo, le piante possono pianificare il futuro, imparare, riconoscere i loro parenti, valutare i rischi e prendere decisioni. Possono persino addormentarsi. Planta Sapiens è una folgorante esplorazione della vita vegetale e un i...
Mama's Last Hug
Mama's Last Hug opens with the moving farewell between Mama, a dying chimpanzee matriarch, and her human friend, a professor who inspired the author's work. Their parting, the video of which has been watched by millions online, is not only a window into the deep bonds they shared, but into the remarkable emotional capacities of animals. In this groundbreaking and entertaining book, primatologist Frans de Waal draws on his renowned studies of the social and emotional lives of chimpanzees, bonobos and other primates, and personal encounters with many other species, to illuminate new ideas and findings about animal emotions: joy, grief, shame, love, pain and happiness. Exploring the facial expressions of animals, human and animal politics, and animal consciousness, de Waal illustrates how profoundly we have underestimated animals' emotional experiences. He argues that emotions occupy a far more significant place in the way we organise our societies than a more rationalist approach would advocate. His radical proposal is that emotions are like organs: humans haven't a single organ that other animals don't have, and the same can be said of our emotions.
Climate Change and Plant Abiotic Stress Tolerance
In this ready reference, a global team of experts comprehensively cover molecular and cell biology-based approaches to the impact of increasing global temperatures on crop productivity. The work is divided into four parts. Following an introduction to the general challenges for agriculture around the globe due to climate change, part two discusses how the resulting increase of abiotic stress factors can be dealt with. The third part then outlines the different strategies and approaches to address the challenge of climate change, and the whole is rounded off by a number of specific examples of improvements to crop productivity. With its forward-looking focus on solutions, this book is an indispensable help for the agro-industry, policy makers and academia.
