Molecular Plant Pathology by M. Dickinson

* Publisher: BIOS Scientific Publ
* Number Of Pages: 256
* Publication Date: 2003-11-12
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1859960448
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781859960448
* Binding: Paperback
Book Description:
The Advanced Text series is designed for students taking advanced-level courses, including final year undergraduates and taught MSc. Titles in this series will also be invaluable to researchers new to the field, and to established researchers as a basic reference text.
Studies of the interactions between plants and their viral, bacterial and fungal pathogens are of major importance in plant and crop production. More than 10% of potential agricultural yield is lost to these organisms annually worldwide, and major epidemics can cause significant local economic and environmental damage.
Molecular Plant Pathology addresses the underlying molecular principles of plant/pathogen interactions, in a readily-accessible textbook format.

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology: Societal Context and the Future of Agriculture by Denis Murphy
* Publisher:
* Number Of Pages: 452
* Publication Date: 2007-09-17
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0521823897
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780521823890
* Binding: Hardcover
Book Description:
This comprehensive survey of modern plant breeding traces its history from the earliest experiments at the dawn of the scientific revolution in the seventeenth century to the present day and the existence of high tech agribusiness. Murphy tells the story from the perspective of a scientist working in this field, offering a rationale and evidence-based insight into its development. Crop improvement is examined from both a scientific and socio-economic perspective and the ways in which these factors interact and impact on agricultural development are discussed, including debates on genetically-modified food. Murphy highlights concerns over the future of plant breeding, as well as potential options to enable us to meet the challenges of feeding the world in the 21st century. This thoroughly interdisciplinary and balanced account serves as an essential resource for everyone involved with plant breeding research, policy and funding, as well as those wishing to engage with current debates.

Plant Surface Microbiology by Ajit Varma, Lynette Abbott, Dietrich Werner, RĂ¼diger Hampp
* Publisher: Springer
* Number Of Pages: 628
* Publication Date: 2007-12-06
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 3540740503
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9783540740506
* Binding: Paperback
Book Description:
Most plants rely on the co-existence with microorganisms: both groups benefit from these symbioses. It has been shown that a large number of specific genes in plants and microorganisms are only activated during these interactions. Of course, various microbes also act as pathogens.
Interactions between plants and microorganisms are often located on plant surfaces, such as leaf cuticles, seeds and mainly on the roots. The communication between plants and microbes is the main topic treated in "Plant Surface Microbiology", such as the signaling within a symbiosis, the molecular differences between symbiotic and pathogenic microorganisms, the role of microorganisms in the development of plants or in plant protection against deleterious agents. Further contributions are devoted to: the analysis of bacterial communities in the rhizosphere; microbial population genetics; aspects of mycorrhizal symbiosis; functional genomic approaches and the use of microorganisms as bio-indicator of soil disturbance.

Book Description:
Plant growth is regulated by developmental programmes that can be modified by environmental cues acting through endogenous signaling molecules including plant hormones. This volume provides an overview of the biosynthesis, catabolism, perception and signal transduction of the individual hormone classes, followed by chapters on hormone distribution and transport, and the roles of hormone signaling in specific developmental processes. Particular attention is paid to the regulation of hormone signaling by environmental and developmental cues, sites of hormone metabolism and action, and interactions between hormone signaling pathways. The book is directed at researchers and professionals in plant biochemistry and molecular biology.

Handbook of Plant Nutrition by Allen V. Barker (Editor), David J. Pilbeam (Editor)
* Publisher: CRC
* Number Of Pages: 632
* Publication Date: 2006-08-28
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0824759044
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780824759049
* Binding: Hardcover
Product Description:
The Handbook of Plant Nutrition provides a readily accessible source of current information on the nutritional requirements of significant crops. The editors provide an overview of plant nutrients and beneficial elements, explaining the diagnostic criteria and research approaches currently being applied by investigators. What then follows are twenty chapters, each one dedicated to an essential nutrient, or beneficial element. Written by eminent researchers, each chapter offers historical information on the specific nutrient, explains how a plant's appearance and composition can be used to assess nutritional status, discusses the value of soil tests, and recommends remedial fertilizers.

Book Description:
This book provides current information on synthesis of plant hormones, how their concentrations are regulated, and how they modulate various plant processes. It details how plants sense and tolerate such factors as drought, salinity, and cold temperature, factors that limit plant productivity on earth. It also explains how plants sense two other environmental signals, light and gravity, and modify their developmental patterns in response to those signals. This book takes the reader from basic concepts to the most up-to-date thinking on these topics.
* Provides clear synthesis and review of hormonal and environmental regulation of plant growth and development
* Contains more than 600 illustrations
supplementary information on techniques and/or related topics of interest
* Single-authored text provides uniformity of presentation and integration of the subject matter
* References listed alphabetically in each section
