Starch
The third edition of this long-serving successful reference work is a 'must-have' reference for anyone needing or desiring an understanding of the structure, chemistry, properties, production and uses of starches and their derivatives.* Includes specific information on corn, wheat, potato, rice, and new chapters on rye, oat and barley (including waxy barley) starches * Covers the isolation processes, properties, functionalities, and uses of the most commonly used starches. * Explores the genetics, biochemistry, and physical structure of starches * Presents current and emerging application trends for starch
Advances in Wheat Genetics: From Genome to Field
This proceedings is a collection of 46 selected papers that were presented at the 12th International Wheat Genetics Symposium (IWGS). Since the launch of the wheat genome sequencing project in 2005, the arrival of draft genome sequences has marked a new era in wheat genetics and genomics, catalyzing rapid advancement in the field. This book provides a comprehensive review of the forefront of wheat research, across various important topics such as germplasm and genetic diversity, cytogenetics and allopolyploid evolution, genome sequencing, structural and functional genomics, gene function and molecular biology, biotic stress, abiotic stress, grain quality, and classical and molecular breeding...
Advances in Psychoneuroimmunology
Proceedings of the Third Hans Selye Symposium on Neuroendocrinology and Stress held in Budapest, Hungary, August 17-21, 1992.
Clinical Nutrition
Scientists from the fields of biochemistry, body composition, intensive care, medicine, nutrition, pediatrics, physiology, and surgery provided the 17 papers that were first presented at the 2001 workshop (exact date not noted). They discuss the administration of nutritional support, in particular, the questions of timing, composition, and clinical settings of such support in light of emerging evidence about the immunomodulatory effects of specific nutrients and their influence on the inflammatory response. Specific topics include fatty acids and gene expression related to inflammation, intravenous supply of functional lipid components, the contribution of trace elements to the efficacy of nutritional support, and signaling factors for gut adaptation.

Genomics of Plant Genetic Resources
Our lives and well being intimately depend on the exploitation of the plant genetic resources available to our breeding programs. Therefore, more extensive exploration and effective exploitation of plant genetic resources are essential prerequisites for the release of improved cultivars. Accordingly, the remarkable progress in genomics approaches and more recently in sequencing and bioinformatics offers unprecedented opportunities for mining germplasm collections, mapping and cloning loci of interest, identifying novel alleles and deploying them for breeding purposes. This book collects 48 highly interdisciplinary articles describing how genomics improves our capacity to characterize and harness natural and artificially induced variation in order to boost crop productivity and provide consumers with high-quality food. This book will be an invaluable reference for all those interested in managing, mining and harnessing the genetic richness of plant genetic resources.
Starch
The history of starches and investigations of starch containing raw materials goes back many centuries, (ii) steady progress in the understanding of processing and modification processes of starches awaits further elucidation. Fortunately, the cluster model of native starch granules is now generally accepted. The remaining problems concerning physics and chemistry, biochemistry and genetics, and processing and modification of starches are dealt with annually at different conferences and symposiums by experts in various fields. The numerous questions concerning structural organisation of starch granules, their behaviour in different thermodynamic conditions (temperature, water content, pressure) during biosynthesis and in different solvents at processing of both starch and starch containing raw material deserve further study because they are not yetentirely understood. With this purpose in mind, scientists from different countries continue to discuss the problems of starch science.
Marine Toxins as Research Tools
Marine organisms produce a wide array of toxins, many of which are not only structurally unusual, but also show potent and interesting modes of action. Since the discovery of tetrodotoxin, a pufferfish toxin, as a potent and selective blocker of Na+ channels in 1964, it has been widely used as a research tool in pharmacological and physiological research. This has led to the identification of a number of important biological functions for Na+ channels. In recent years, much biological research has been carried out at molecular and cellular levels, and therefore selective inhibitors of enzymes and selective antagonist/agonists of receptors and channels have become increasingly important research tools. Accordingly, interest in using such compounds as reagents has increased. Marine toxins are some of the most popular research tools and have already contributed much to our understanding of biological processes and disease mechanisms.
Glial Cell Function (Paperback)
Although knowledge of the development and differentiation of glial cells has significantly increased in recent years, there are still many questions unanswered. The first section of the book is devoted to this very active topic and includes contributions on Schwann cells, oligodendrocytes, astroglia and microglia. The second section of the book covers cellular interactions, the role they play on myelination and remyelination, how these interactions take place and the molecules involved. The third section of this volume focuses on the interactions of neurons with glial cells and their role in brain function. Neuron-glia cross talk appears to be fundamental for synaptic transmission and severa...
