Chemical Grouting and Soil Stabilization (Civil and Environmental Engineering)

Following moving traits from remedial to preventive makes use of of grouting practices, this 3rd variation covers all elements of chemical grouting tools and functions. This reference highlights new floor development strategies in addition to fresh techniques in soil amendment and stabilization tactics.

Medicinal and Aromatic Plants IV

This quantity includes 28 chapters on biotechnology of medicinal and fragrant crops, and bargains with the distribution, financial significance, traditional propagation, micropropagation, evaluate of tissue tradition paintings, and the in vitro creation of pharmaceutical compounds in numerous species of Ammi, Bergenia, Canavalia, Capsicum, Cassia, Cephaelis, Cornus, Cucurbita, Elettaria, Eupatorium, Genipa, Gentiana, Gypsophila, Hygrophila, Leontopodium, Nerium, Picrasma, Polygonum, Ptelea, Rheum, Scopolia, Silene, Solanum, Strophanthus, Tagetes, Thymus, and Uncaria.

Post-Transcriptional Control of Gene Expression in Plants

A up to date quantity of this sequence (Signals and sign TransductionPathways in vegetation (K. Palme, ed. ) Plant Molecular Biology26, 1237-1679) defined the relay races through which signs are transported in crops from the websites of stimuli to the gene expression equipment of the mobile. a part of this equipment, the transcription equipment, has been good studied within the final 20 years, and lots of very important mechanisms controlling gene expression on the transcriptional point were elucidated.

Vegetation of the Tropical Pacific Islands

Written by means of the best professionals at the plant range and ecology of the Pacific islands, this e-book is a magisterial synthesis of the crops and landscapes of the islands of the Pacific Ocean. it's equipped by means of island workforce, and comprises details on geography, geology, phytogeographic relationships, and human impacts on crops.

Sample text

Currently, we do not have an apomictic grain crop available to test all of these hypotheses, with the possible exception of breeding procedures that can be tested on model tropical forage species like Brachiaria (see Section IIIB). Koltunow et al. (1995) mentioned that apomixis could naively be viewed as a threat to seed companies, as farmers could plant their own apomictic seeds. These authors point out, however, that the evolution of intellectual property rights and patents should protect the inventors, regardless of the cultivar's method of propagation.

The size of flower/plant population analyzed. Burton et al. (1973), for example, found 80% of obligate apomicts among accessions of P. maximum, while Savidan (1982b) found only 20%, the former using la-plant progeny tests, the latter using 100 ovules/accession. The screening tools (see previous example). Different genotypes may not necessarily result in different phenotypes if the latter are scored on the basis of a few morphological descriptors. In other words, molecular tools may detect more facultativeness than embryo-sac analyses that detect more facultativeness than progeny 24 Y.

3. Or no Gene? Carman's Hypothesis. e not from specific apomictic genes or alleles. Carman bases his model on two major assumptions. e. most likely from allopolyploids as defined in Rieger et al. (1976). The second assumption is that there is a series of observations from interspecific or intergeneric crosses producing abnormalities in plant reproduction mimicking at least part of an apomictic development. It is possible that a majority of apomicts are allopolyploids, but we argued earlier (Section IB3) that autopolyploidy has probably been largely overlooked in previous reviews.
