Mutagenesis, Cytotoxicity and Crop Improvement
Induced mutagenesis is a common and promising method for the screening of new crops with improved production methods, and has made a tremendous contribution to crop improvement. Now, as the techniques of molecular biology become more widely adopted by plant breeders, this comprehensive summary sets mutation breeding within a contemporary context and relates it to other breeding techniques. This book opens a new chapter of inducing mutations at the gene level, and details techniques that can be used to harvest and exploit such mutation to improve the productivity of crops, particularly cereals, grains and vegetables. The chapters within this volume are supported by diagrams, tables and graphs to make the content more comprehensible. The book will be extremely useful for advanced undergraduates, graduates, postgraduate students, and research scientists of botany, agriculture, horticulture, genetics, biotechnology, biochemistry and agronomy.
The Fury of Hunger
How does one deal with the paradox of bonded labour in a free country? Why do farm workers who feed the richest country in the world go to sleep hungry? What can we do to bring hope and justice in the lives of the poor and oppressed? These are the hard-hitting questions that Vivek Pandit raised and sought answers to and which form the basis of The Fury of Hunger. This book weaves together the author’s life experiences of organising Adivasis and Dalits for liberation from their lives of bondage and oppression in India, with his first-hand observations of the civil rights movement and the movement of farm workers in America. The stories lay bare the inner struggles of the activist faced with the sorrows of the oppressed. They capture not just the long and hard struggle against bondage, hunger and hopelessness but also the dazzling moments of victory and freedom. Pandit communicates a range of emotions from helplessness and hopelessness to humour and righteous anger. Without being pedantic, they touch upon the universal themes of the human urge for dignity and justice and the collective pursuit of a world free of hunger and fear.
Mutagenesis: exploring genetic diversity of crops
In the present era various international organizations, such as FAO, UNO, IAEA, FNCA, etc., have unanimously agreed that millions of people in both developing and developed countries are not only facing a shortage of food, but also non-availability of nutrients. The main reason put forward by these agencies is that there is less genetic diversity prevalent in the major crops, which has been further diminished since the inception of conventional plant breeding. Since the first decade of the last century the mutation breeding approach has been pivotal in enhancing the genetic diversity of crops, thereby enriching the genetic pool. ‘Mutagenesis: exploring genetic diversity of crops’ describ...
