Somaclonal Variation and Induced Mutations in Crop Improvement
Genetic variability is an important parameter for plant breeders in any con ventional crop improvement programme. Very often the desired variation is un available in the right combination, or simply does not exist at all. However, plant breeders have successfully recombined the desired genes from cultivated crop gerrnplasm and related wild species by sexual hybridization, and have been able to develop new cultivars with desirable agronomie traits, such as high yield, disease, pest, and drought resistance. So far, conventional breeding methods have managed to feed the world's ever-growing population. Continued population growth, no further scope of expanding arable land, soil degradation, env...
Broadening the Genetic Base of Grain Cereals
This book offers comprehensive coverage of important grain cereals including their origin and distribution, crop gene pool, level of diversity, production constraints, traits of importance for genetic base widening, crop improvement methodologies, genome mapping, genomics for breeding, and future strategies. The chapters, contributed by eminent crop researchers from around the world, provide rare insights into the crop-specific constraints and prospects drawing from their substantial experience. As such, the book offers an essential source of information for grain cereals scientists, teachers, students, policy planners and developmental experts alike. Grain cereals, which comprise rice, whea...
In Vitro Haploid Production in Higher Plants
The 18 chapters making up In Vitro Haploid Production in Higher Plants are divided into two sections. Section 1 (eight chapters) covers historical and fundamental aspects of haploidy in crop improvement. Section 2 deals with methods of haploid production, including anther culture, micropore culture, ovary culture, pollination with irradiated pollen, in vitro pollination, and special culture techniques, including polyhaploid production in the Triticeae by sexual hybridization, the influence of ethylene and gelling agents on anther culture, conditional lethal markers, and methods of chromosome doubling.
Le théâtre en Ukraine
« Le théâtre est le miroir de la culture d'un peuple », disait Brecht. En Ukraine, le théâtre a été le reflet de l'histoire sociale, politique et culturelle de la nation, facteur essentiel de la formation de la conscience nationale. Constamment en lutte contre les autorités russes, il a traversé des conditions historiques difficiles. L'ouvrage retrace les trois siècles du théâtre ukrainien : depuis sa naissance en 1619 jusqu'à la fin du xixe siècle. Au fil des pages, on découvre l'art théâtral ancien, le théâtre scolaire à l'Académie de Kiev, le théâtre de serfs, les grandes figures de la dramaturgie ukrainienne du xixe siècle, créateurs du répertoire national, l'art scénique et enfin, le théâtre ukrainien dans le contexte esthétique européen.
Achieving sustainable management of boreal and temperate forests
Focuses on advances in understanding forest ecophysiology which underpin good management, including mechanisms of root and canopy development. Explores the key challenges in ensuring forest management is consistent with forest ecosystem services, particularly managing the transition from monocultures to complex stands Highlights ways of diversifying forest products, including novel uses of timber, biomass, non-timber products and recreational services.
Rice Genetics Ii (In 2 Parts) - Proceedings Of The Second International Rice Genetics Symposium
The Rice Genetics Collection of past symposia and other selected literature contains nearly 4,400 pages of searchable information on rice genetics and cytogenetics published by the IRRI and its partners since 1964. In addition to the five genetics symposia held at 5-year intervals since 1985, the collection contains classic publications that kicked off significant reporting on these subjects in the early 1960s. This collection is a comprehensive and historical documentation on the subject of rice genetics, spanning 45 years of research and scholarly work.Held in 1990 and published the following year, Rice Genetics II contains 65 chapters from various contributors on topics dealing with rice genetic research, including varietal differentiation and evolution; genetic markers, linkage groups, and aneuploids; genetics of stress tolerance, morphological and physiological traits, and disease and insect resistance; tissue and cell culture; molecular genetics of cytoplasmic and nuclear genomes, rice proteins, and disease resistance; RFLP analysis of rice genomes; and transformation techniques.
