Molecular Genetics, Genomics and Biotechnology of Crop Plants Breeding
This Special Issue on molecular genetics, genomics, and biotechnology in crop plant breeding seeks to encourage the use of the tools currently available. It features nine research papers that address quality traits, grain yield, and mutations by exploring cytoplasmic male sterility, the delicate control of flowering in rice, the removal of anti-nutritional factors, the use and development of new technologies for non-model species marker technology, site-directed mutagenesis and GMO regulation, genomics selection and genome-wide association studies, how to cope with abiotic stress, and an exploration of fruit trees adapted to harsh environments for breeding purposes. A further four papers review the genetics of pre-harvest spouting, readiness for climate-smart crop development, genomic selection in the breeding of cereal crops, and the large numbers of mutants in straw lignin biosynthesis and deposition.
Genomics and Breeding for Climate-Resilient Crops
Climate change is expected to have a drastic impact on agronomic conditions including temperature, precipitation, soil nutrients, and the incidence of disease pests, to name a few. To face this looming threat, significant progress in developing new breeding strategies has been made over the last few decades. The first volume of Genomics and Breeding for Climate-Resilient Crops presents the basic concepts and strategies for developing climate-resilient crop varieties. Topics covered include: conservation, evaluation and utilization of biodiversity; identification of traits, genes and crops of the future; genomic and molecular tools; genetic engineering; participatory and evolutionary breeding; bioinformatics tools to support breeding; funding and networking support; and intellectual property, regulatory issues, social and political dimensions.
Soul Crime. New York
Se hai paura sei fottuto. Perché il cacciatore sente sempre l'odore della sua preda. Non ci sarà nessuno a proteggerti questa notte. Il fiume scorre lento e fa eco ai passi che si nascondono oltre il cono di luce del lampione. Otto storie di violenza, passione, paura e fascino del male raccontano la metropoli più affascinante, dannata e controversa del mondo. New york city non è solo questo, certo. Una bellezza profonda si è ficcata fin dentro l'anima di questa città. Ne siamo consapevoli e coscienti. Ma le matite e gli appunti di giovani autori di crime story, stanotte, ti porteranno oltre le luci dei grattaceli e oltre i fumosi bar aperti solo dopo mezzanotte. Stanotte si naviga a vista attraverso l'East River che porta lontano tra segreti e paure. C'è una luna strana che aiuta e affina l'odore e il piacere. È tempo di muoversi, la notte non aspetta. La caccia è iniziata.
Dirty money
Dirty Money tells the story of Dotun Oloko, a whistleblower who tries to expose what he suspected was the involvement of the British government and European institutions in the laundering of millions of dollars of money stolen from Nigera by James Ibori, the corrupt former governor of one of the country's oil rich states. Suspecting colossal fraud and corruption, Oloko reports the facts to the UK Department for International development and the European Investment Bank - only to find his family placed under covert surveillance. In the end, Ibori will be sentenced by a London court for fraud and money laundering. But the Western institutions that Oloko alleged were complicit are still in business.
Cellular Oxidative Stress
This book collects 17 original research papers and 9 reviews that are part of the Special Issue “Cellular Oxidative Stress”, published in the journal Antioxidants. Oxidative stress on a cellular level affects the function of tissues and organs and may eventually lead to disease. Therefore, a precise understanding of how oxidative stress develops and can be counteracted is of utmost importance. The scope of the book is to emphasize the latest findings on the cellular targets of oxidative stress and the potential beneficial effect of antioxidants on human health.
The Almond Tree Genome
This book brings together the latest information on almond genomics and transcriptomics, with a particular focus on cutting-edge findings, tools, and strategies employed in genome sequencing and analysis with regard to the most important agronomic traits. Cultivated almond [(Prunus dulcis (Miller) D. A. Webb, syn. Prunus amygdalus Batsch., Amygdalus communis L., Amygdalus dulcis Mill.)] is a tree crop producing seeds of great economic interest, and adapted to hot and dry climates. Domesticated in Southeast Asia, its small diploid genome and phenotypic diversity make it an ideal model to complement genomics studies on peach, generally considered to be the reference Prunus species. Both represent consanguineous species that evolved in two distinct environments: warmer and more humid in the case of peach, and colder and xerophytic for almond. The advent of affordable whole-genome sequencing, in combination with existing Prunus functional genomics data, has now made it possible to leverage the novel diversity found in almond, providing an unmatched resource for the genetic improvement of this species.
Biotrophic Plant-Microbe Interactions
Throughout their life, plants interact with all sorts of microbes. Some of these are detrimental and cause disease; some interactions are mutually beneficial for both partners. It is clear that most, if not all, of the interactions are regulated by highly complex checks and balances sustained by signalling and exchange of messengers and nutrients. The interactions where both partners are alive for a significant part of their time together are called biotrophic. In this e-book we bring together 33 articles representing the current state-of-the-art in research about diverse biotrophic plant-microbe associations aimed at describing and understanding how these complex and ubiquitous partnerships work and ultimately support much of the land-based biosphere.
