Book Synopsis Cultivation of Neglected Tropical Fruits with Promise by : Simón E. Malo
Download or read book Cultivation of Neglected Tropical Fruits with Promise written by Simón E. Malo and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The durian, Durio zibethinus Murray, is the most controversial fruit of the Tropics because of its strong, offensive odor and its rich, filling taste. It is a fruit tree of the tropical rain forests of the Malaysian Archipelago and adjoining areas and is popular in many parts of Southeast Asia. The fruit is a large, spiny capsule that opens into five segments containing seeds covered with a pulpy, edible aril. The durian is highly prized both as a fresh fruit and as processed dishes and sweet preserves. The plant is cultivated only where the rainy season is long and well distributed without a marked dry season. Seed viability is short, and superior cultivars have to be propagated by grafting. The tree needs at least 12- by 12-m spacing and a well-drained soil that should be maintained constantly moist. Grafted trees produce in as little as 4 years, but seedling may take as long as 10. When mature, the fruit drops to the ground, but it can be carefully harvested before this occurs and ripened in 4 to 6 days. The durian is an exceptionally nutritious fruit with a high protein, carbohydrate, and vitamin content. It merits large-scale trials in the Tropics of the Western Hemisphere, where it is known to be well adapted to many humid localities.

Book Synopsis Recent Advances in Flowering Time Control by : Christian Jung
Download or read book Recent Advances in Flowering Time Control written by Christian Jung and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-03-10 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The onset of flowering is an important step during the lifetime of a flowering plant. During the past two decades, there has been enormous progress in our understanding of how internal and external (environmental) cues control the transition to reproductive growth in plants. Many flowering time regulators have been identified from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Most of them are assembled in regulatory pathways, which converge to central integrators which trigger the transition of the vegetative into an inflorescence meristem. For crop cultivation, the time of flowering is of upmost importance, because it determines yield. Phenotypic variation for this trait is largely controlled by genes, which were often modified during domestication or crop improvement. Understanding the genetic basis of flowering time regulation offers new opportunities for selection in plant breeding and for genome editing and genetic modification of crop species.
Book Synopsis Root Distribution of Durian (Durio Zibethinus Murr.) Grown in Different Environmental Conditions by : M. Masri
Download or read book Root Distribution of Durian (Durio Zibethinus Murr.) Grown in Different Environmental Conditions written by M. Masri and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Root length density (RLD) distributions of budded D24 durian clone grown in different environmental conditions were studied. Root densities declined both horizontally towards the edge of the canopy and vertically with soil depths. Relatively about 34-49% of total RLD were found within the first quarter of the canopy radius while 20-30% were located in the second and third quarter. Only less than 15% of total RLD were found in the last quarter of the canopy radius. Vertically, about 72-87% of RLD were located in the top 45 cm from the soil surface with about 31-42% were on the top first 15 cm. Penetration of roots were small beyond the 75 cm soil depth. This study showed that RLD distribution of budded D24 durian clone were dependent on the environment and results also showed that the pattern did conform to some general pattern of distribution.

Download or read book Pollinators and Pollination written by Jeff Ollerton and published by Pelagic Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-18 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique and personal insight into the ecology and evolution of pollinators, their relationships with flowers, and their conservation in a rapidly changing world. The pollination of flowers by insects, birds and other animals is a fundamentally important ecological function that supports both the natural world and human society. Without pollinators to facilitate the sexual reproduction of plants, the world would be a biologically poorer place in which to live, there would be an impact on food security, and human health would suffer. Written by one of the world’s leading pollination ecologists, this book provides an introduction to what pollinators are, how their interactions with flowers have evolved, and the fundamental ecology of these relationships. It explores the pollination of wild and agricultural plants in a variety of habitats and contexts, including urban, rural and agricultural environments. The author also provides practical advice on how individuals and organisations can study, and support, pollinators. As well as covering the natural history of pollinators and flowers, the author discusses their cultural importance, and the ways in which pollinator conservation has been portrayed from a political perspective. The book draws on field work experiences in South America, Africa, Australia, the Canary Islands and the UK. For over 30 years the author has spent his career researching how plants and pollinators evolve relationships, how these interactions function ecologically, their importance for society, and how we can conserve them in a rapidly changing world. This book offers a unique and personal insight into the science of pollinators and pollination, aimed at anyone who is interested in understanding these fascinating and crucial ecological interactions.

Book Synopsis Bats in the Anthropocene: Conservation of Bats in a Changing World by : Christian C. Voigt
Download or read book Bats in the Anthropocene: Conservation of Bats in a Changing World written by Christian C. Voigt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on central themes related to the conservation of bats. It details their response to land-use change and management practices, intensified urbanization and roost disturbance and loss. Increasing interactions between humans and bats as a result of hunting, disease relationships, occupation of human dwellings, and conflict over fruit crops are explored in depth. Finally, contributors highlight the roles that taxonomy, conservation networks and conservation psychology have to play in conserving this imperilled but vital taxon. With over 1300 species, bats are the second largest order of mammals, yet as the Anthropocene dawns, bat populations around the world are in decline. Greater understanding of the anthropogenic drivers of this decline and exploration of possible mitigation measures are urgently needed if we are to retain global bat diversity in the coming decades. This book brings together teams of international experts to provide a global review of current understanding and recommend directions for future research and mitigation.

Book Synopsis Genetic control of self-incompatibility and reproductive development in flowering plants by : Elizabeth G. Williams
Download or read book Genetic control of self-incompatibility and reproductive development in flowering plants written by Elizabeth G. Williams and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant reproductive biology has undergone a revolution during the past five years, with the cloning, sequencing and localization of the genes important in reproduction. These advantages in plant molecular biology have led to exciting applications in plant biotechnology, including the genetic engineering of male sterility and other reproductive processes. This book presents an interesting and contemporary account of these new developments from the scientists in whose laboratories they have been made. The chapters focus on two areas: the molecular biology of self-incompatibility, which is the system of self-recognition controlled by the S-gene and related genes; and the cellular and molecular biology of pollen development and genetic dissection of male sterility. Some chapters feature Arabidopsis, with its unique genetic system. Reproduction is vital for seed production in crop plants, and this book presents new approaches to manipulate plant breeding systems for the 21st century.

Book Synopsis Cities as Sustainable Ecosystems by : Peter Newman
Download or read book Cities as Sustainable Ecosystems written by Peter Newman and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-09-26 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern city dwellers are largely detached from the environmental effects of their daily lives. The sources of the water they drink, the food they eat, and the energy they consume are all but invisible, often coming from other continents, and their waste ends up in places beyond their city boundaries. Cities as Sustainable Ecosystems shows how cities and their residents can begin to reintegrate into their bioregional environment, and how cities themselves can be planned with nature’s organizing principles in mind. Taking cues from living systems for sustainability strategies, Newman and Jennings reassess urban design by exploring flows of energy, materials, and information, along with the interactions between human and non-human parts of the system. Drawing on examples from all corners of the world, the authors explore natural patterns and processes that cities can emulate in order to move toward sustainability. Some cities have adopted simple strategies such as harvesting rainwater, greening roofs, and producing renewable energy. Others have created biodiversity parks for endangered species, community gardens that support a connection to their foodshed, and pedestrian-friendly spaces that encourage walking and cycling. A powerful model for urban redevelopment, Cities as Sustainable Ecosystems describes aspects of urban ecosystems from the visioning process to achieving economic security to fostering a sense of place.
