Download or read book Hybrid written by Noel Kingsbury and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disheartened by the shrink-wrapped, Styrofoam-packed state of contemporary supermarket fruits and vegetables, many shoppers hark back to a more innocent time, to visions of succulent red tomatoes plucked straight from the vine, gleaming orange carrots pulled from loamy brown soil, swirling heads of green lettuce basking in the sun. With Hybrid, Noel Kingsbury reveals that even those imaginary perfect foods are themselves far from anything that could properly be called natural; rather, they represent the end of a millennia-long history of selective breeding and hybridization. Starting his story at the birth of agriculture, Kingsbury traces the history of human attempts to make plants more reliable, productive, and nutritious—a story that owes as much to accident and error as to innovation and experiment. Drawing on historical and scientific accounts, as well as a rich trove of anecdotes, Kingsbury shows how scientists, amateur breeders, and countless anonymous farmers and gardeners slowly caused the evolutionary pressures of nature to be supplanted by those of human needs—and thus led us from sparse wild grasses to succulent corn cobs, and from mealy, white wild carrots to the juicy vegetables we enjoy today. At the same time, Kingsbury reminds us that contemporary controversies over the Green Revolution and genetically modified crops are not new; plant breeding has always had a political dimension. A powerful reminder of the complicated and ever-evolving relationship between humans and the natural world, Hybrid will give readers a thoughtful new perspective on—and a renewed appreciation of—the cereal crops, vegetables, fruits, and flowers that are central to our way of life.
Book Synopsis The Business of Breeding by : Deborah Kay Fitzgerald

Book excerpt: Fitzgerald (history of technology, MIT) studies the development of one agricultural commodity as a vehicle for delineating the complexities of agricultural history. The ambiguous role of agricultural science as a scientific discipline engaged in the practical application of scientific knowledge to social and economic problems is expressed in the politics and goals of land-grant universities, agribusiness, and farmers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Professor's Story of Hybrid Corn Many students of the origin of crop plants have accepted the hypothesis of the Russian scientist, Vavilov, that the region of greatest diversity of types is usually the region of origin. Mangelsdorf and Reeves (1939, Mangelsdorf and Mangelsdorf and Smith have made extensive studies of the origin of corn, and their conclusions have been rather generally accepted, although others have different viewpoints regarding certain phases. The views of Mangelsdorf and co workers have been followed in this summary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Maize by : Jeff L. Bennetzen
Download or read book Handbook of Maize written by Jeff L. Bennetzen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-01-16 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maize is one of the world’s highest value crops, with a multibillion dollar annual contribution to agriculture. The great adaptability and high yields available for maize as a food, feed and forage crop have led to its current production on over 140 million hectares worldwide, with acreage continuing to grow at the expense of other crops. In terms of tons of cereal grain produced worldwide, maize has been number one for many years. Moreover, maize is expanding its contribution to non-food uses, including as a major source of ethanol as a fuel additive or fuel alternative in the US. In addition, maize has been at the center of the transgenic plant controversy, serving as the first food crop with released transgenic varieties. By 2008, maize will have its genome sequence released, providing the sequence of the first average-size plant genome (the four plant genomes that are now sequenced come from unusually tiny genomes) and of the most complex genome sequenced from any organism. Among plant science researchers, maize has the second largest and most productive research community, trailing only the Arabidopsis community in scale and significance. At the applied research and commercial improvement levels, maize has no peers in agriculture, and consists of thousands of contributors worthwhile. A comprehensive book on the biology of maize has not been published. The "Handbook of Maize: the Genetics and Genomics" center on the past, present and future of maize as a model for plant science research and crop improvement. The books include brief, focused chapters from the foremost maize experts and feature a succinct collection of informative images representing the maize germplasm collection.
