Transgenic Crops IV (Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry, Vol. 59)
Genetic engineering is a strong device for crop development. Crop biotechnology prior to 2001 was once reviewed in Transgenic vegetation I-III, yet contemporary advances in plant mobile and molecular biology have brought on the necessity for brand new volumes. Transgenic plants IV bargains with cereals, greens, root plants, herbs and spices.

Controversy on their life habits continues, but their abundance does seem to vary independently of the 'normal' benthos. Many Oxford Clay bivalves occur in shell-beds, some of which are mere winnowed concentrations, but others formed distinct habitats, notably the Gryphaea shell-beds of the lower part of the Lower Oxford Clay. Bivalves requiring a firm sea-floor, including Gryphaea and most infaunal filter-feeders, are poorly represented in the main part of the Lower Oxford Clay, but re-appear in the Middle and Upper divisions, where diversity increases but abundance decreases.

5 Description. Small to medium-sized species (4-13 mm high), of subovate to suborbicular outline, known only from right valves. Similar to E. corneolum but differs in possessing a well developed byssal notch beneath the anterior auricle of the right valve; ctenolium absent. Remarks. This species occurs frequently in the coronatum Zone Lower Oxford Clay of central England, but is rare at all other horizons. Specimens are normally covered with a coating of secondary calcite on their external surface, preventing a view of the ornament, but it is likely that the species is smooth shelled.
