Water Use Efficiency in Plant Biology
Av Bacon, Mark Bacon
Inbunden, 2004
3348 kr
Lägg i varukorg
This is the first volume to provide comprehensive coverage of the biology of water use efficiency at molecular, cellular, whole plant and community levels. While several works have included the phenomenon of water use efficiency, and others have concentrated on an agronomic framework, this book …
Plant Lipids
Biology, Utilisation and Manipulation
Inbunden, 2004
3636 kr
Lägg i varukorg
New research tools have revealed many surprising aspects of the dynamic nature of lipids and their participation in processes such as recognition, intra- and inter-cellular signalling, deterrence and defence against pathogens, membrane trafficking and protein function. This is in addition to new …
Plant Nutritional Genomics
Inbunden, 2005
3750 kr
Lägg i varukorg
A ‘textbook’ plant typically comprises about 85% water and 13.5% carbohydrates. The remaining fraction contains at least 14 mineral elements, without which plants would be unable to complete their life cycles. Understanding plant nutrition and applying this knowledge to practical use is important …
Gene Flow from GM Plants
Inbunden, 2005
2994 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Gene flow is not unique to genetically modified (GM) crops, but the possibility of the spread of transgenic DNA to wild and domesticated relatives raises a new set of issues for scientists and policymakers to consider. Unfortunately, we are still too often unable to quantify the risks of ecological …
Antioxidants and Reactive Oxygen Species in Plants
Av Smirnoff, Nicholas Smirnoff
Inbunden, 2005
2994 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced during the interaction of metabolism with oxygen. As ROS have the potential to cause oxidative damage by reacting with biomolecules, research on ROS has concentrated on the oxidative damage that results from exposure to environmental stresses and on the …
Plant Growth and Climate Change
Av James I. L. Morison, Michael D. Morecroft
Inbunden, 2006
3314 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Evidence grows daily of the changing climate and its impact on plants and animals. Plant function is inextricably linked to climate and atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. On the shortest and smallest scales, the climate affects the plant’s immediate environment and so directly influences …
Meristematic Tissues in Plant Growth and Development
Av Michael T. McManus, Bruce Veit
Inbunden, 2002
2796 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Whereas the adult body plan of an animal is established largely during embryogenesis, the body plan of a plant is elaborated throughout its life, through the activity of meristematic tissues. Although many of the patterning mechanisms that operate during embryogenesis in animal systems are becoming …
Wood Quality and its Biological Basis
Av John Barnett, George Jeronimidis
Inbunden, 2003
2644 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Wood is the most versatile raw material available to man. It is burned as fuel, shaped into utensils, used as a structural engineering material, converted into fibres for paper production, and put to newer uses as a source of industrial chemicals. Its quality results largely from the chemical and …
Plant Molecular Breeding
Av H. John Newbury, H. John Newbury
Inbunden, 2003
2866 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Plant Molecular Breeding Plant Molecular Breeding Edited by H. John Newbury The last few years have seen an explosion of new information and resources in the areas of plant molecular genetics and genomics. As a result of developments such as high throughput sequencing, we now have available huge …
Plant Cell Cycle and its Interfaces
Inbunden, 2001
1524 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Cell division is a critical process in plant growth, and an understanding of how it is regulated is of both inherent scientific interest and commercial application. This volume provides an overview of the factors that influence the timing of the plant cell cycle and considers how these events may …
Pectins and their Manipulation
Inbunden, 2002
1910 kr
Tillfälligt slut
Pectins are the most structurally complex polysaccharides in plant cell walls and determining their chemical structure and precise biological roles still provides a significant challenge. However, in the last decade, the information available on pectin structure has increased considerably, and our …
Programmed Cell Death in Plants
Av John Gray
Inbunden, 2003
1999 kr
Tillfälligt slut
The recognition of cell death as an active process has changed the way in which biologists view living things. Geneticists re-evaluate long known mutants, research strategies are redesigned, and new model systems are sought. This volume reviews our new understanding of programmed cell death as it …
