Signal Transduction in Plants
An understanding of the mechanisms by which plants perceive environmental cues, both physical and chemical, and transduce the signals that influence specific expression of genes, is an area of intensive scientific research. With the completion of the genome sequence of Arabidopsis it is understood now that a larger number of genes encode for proteins involved in signalling cascades and transcription factors. In this volume, different chapters deal with plant receptors, second messengers like calcium ions, phosphoinositides, salicylic acid and nitrous oxide, calcium binding proteins and kinases. In addition to dealing with the response of plants to light, hormones, pathogens, heat, etc. on cellular activity, work currently going on in apoptosis, cell division, and plastid gene expression is also covered in this book.
Mechanisms of Plant Growth and Improved Productivity Modern Approaches
Discusses the mechanisms of plant productivity and the factors limiting net photosynthesis, describing techniques to isolate, characterize and manipulate specific plant genes in order to enhance productivity. The uptake of carbon and the practical aspects of plant nutrition are discussed.
Handbook of Ayurvedic Medicinal Plants
This handbook is filled with over 50 illustrations and descriptions of approximately 250 plants which are used for herbal medicine. It includes information on medicinal plants ranging from Abies spectabilis to Zizyphus vulgaris. The purpose of this handbook is to make available a reference for easy, accurate identification of these herbs. Derived from India, ""Ayurveda"" is the foundation stone of their ancient medical science. Approximately 80 percent of the population of India and other countries in the East continue to utilize this system of medicinal treatment. It is believed that the key to successful medication is the use of the correct herb. This is an indispensable resource for all physicians, pharmacists, drug collectors, and those interested in the healing arts.
Comparative Embryology of Angiosperms Vol. 1/2
COMPARATIVE EMBRYOLOGY OF ANGIOSPERMS is a review of the developmental processes leading to sexual reproduction in flowering plants. On the basis of embryological data and certain evidences from other areas of study, it lays special emphasis on the relationship among and within the families and orders of angiosperms. Occasionally, inaccuracies in observation and interpretation are pointed out, alternative interpretations offered, gaps in our knowledge highlighted, and prospects outlined. The text is documented with 36 tables, 376 figures, and about 5000 literature citations, which contribute to making this book comprehensive. Besides students and research workers interested in angiosperm embyology, taxonomists, plant breeders, agriculturists, and horticulturists will also find much useful information in this treatise.
Plant Tissue Culture
Plant Tissue Culture In One Form Or Another Has Become One Of The Most Promising Branches Of Plant Science. Arising From The Totipotency Of Plant Cells, It Now Occupies A Key Position In Plant Breeding, Plant Propagation And Plant Biotechnology.Plant Tissue Culture - Basic And Applied Brings To The Student Accessible, Up-To-Date Information On This Subject. Basic Knowledge Of Tissue Culture Methods Such As Isolation Of Suitable Tissues From The Mother Plant, Maintenance Of The Tissues Under In Vitro Condition In An Undifferentiated Or De-Differentiated Stage, Methods Of Genetic Engineering And Gene Transfer, Chromosomal Studies And The Handling Of In Vitro Micro Plants Are Described In Detail In This Book. Similarly, Application Aspects Of Micropropagation, Haploid Cell Culture, Protoplast Culture, Embryo Culture, Somatic Embryogenesis And Artificial Seeds Are Also Discussed.
Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 25
Plant Breeding Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. Many of the crops widely grown today stem from a very narrow genetic base. Understanding and preserving crop genetic resources is vital to the security of food systems worldwide.
Plant Physiology at a Glance
This book provides basic and quick information about various important concepts in plant and crop physiology. It would help the post graduate and undergraduate students best. Can act as ready reckoner of basic plant physiology for various competitive examinations.

Nutritional and Physiological Disorders in Crop Plants
The book on Nutritional and physiol-ogical disorders in crop plants deals with Classification of plant nutrients according to relative requirements for plant growth, their biochemical behaviour, physiological function, functional basis of elements; functions and importance of various plant nutrients; predisposing factors for the occurrence of nutrient deficiencies; diagnosis of plant deficiency symptoms in cereals, pulses, oilseeds, fibers, sugars, fruits, vegetables, flowers, plantation crops and narcotics covering 43 crops with photographs of symptoms; commonly occurring physiological disorders in selected crops, and remedial measures. The book will be useful to the undergraduate students of Agriculture & Horticulture to update their knowledge on nutritional and physiological disorders in crop plants. It will also provide a suitable basis for those engaged in the profession of Agriculture viz., extension functionaries & farmers.
