Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although plants comprise more than 90% of all visible life, and land plants and algae collectively make up the most morphologically, physiologically, and ecologically diverse group of organisms on earth, books on evolution instead tend to focus on animals. This organismal bias has led to an incomplete and often erroneous understanding of evolutionary theory. Because plants grow and reproduce differently than animals, they have evolved differently, and generally accepted evolutionary views—as, for example, the standard models of speciation—often fail to hold when applied to them. Tapping such wide-ranging topics as genetics, gene regulatory networks, phenotype mapping, and multicellularity, as well as paleobotany, Karl J. Niklas’s Plant Evolution offers fresh insight into these differences. Following up on his landmark book The Evolutionary Biology of Plants—in which he drew on cutting-edge computer simulations that used plants as models to illuminate key evolutionary theories—Niklas incorporates data from more than a decade of new research in the flourishing field of molecular biology, conveying not only why the study of evolution is so important, but also why the study of plants is essential to our understanding of evolutionary processes. Niklas shows us that investigating the intricacies of plant development, the diversification of early vascular land plants, and larger patterns in plant evolution is not just a botanical pursuit: it is vital to our comprehension of the history of all life on this green planet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heredity and Evolution in Plants The present little book was originally intended to be merely a reprint of Chapters XXXI to XXXVIII of the authors Fundamentals of Botany. The reprinting of those chapters was suggested by comments received from various correspondents, who pointed out that the subject matter which they cover had not been elsewhere presented in so concise a treatment in one volume, and in a manner suited, not only to beginning students, but also to more general readers. The chapter on Experimental Evolution has received the approval of the author of the mutation theory, as being an accurate presentation of the essentials of that theory. "I have especially appreciated," writes Professor de Vries, "the statement of the difference between fluctuating and saltative variation, which is, to my mind, the real empirical basis for the theory, far more than the experiments on mutation with single plants. The relation of my view to Darwinism is misunderstood by many authors, and it is a great satisfaction to me that you have outlined it in such a plain way." In the preparation of the copy for reprinting, considerable new matter has been added, certain sentences and paragraphs, pertinent only to an elementary text-book, have been omitted, and others recast, and several fresh illustrations have been introduced, either as new or as substitutes.

Book Synopsis Safety of Genetically Engineered Foods by : National Research Council
Download or read book Safety of Genetically Engineered Foods written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-07-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assists policymakers in evaluating the appropriate scientific methods for detecting unintended changes in food and assessing the potential for adverse health effects from genetically modified products. In this book, the committee recommended that greater scrutiny should be given to foods containing new compounds or unusual amounts of naturally occurring substances, regardless of the method used to create them. The book offers a framework to guide federal agencies in selecting the route of safety assessment. It identifies and recommends several pre- and post-market approaches to guide the assessment of unintended compositional changes that could result from genetically modified foods and research avenues to fill the knowledge gaps.
Book Synopsis The Role of Chromosomal Change in Plant Evolution by : Donald A. Levin
Download or read book The Role of Chromosomal Change in Plant Evolution written by Donald A. Levin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-11-28 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application of new molecular technology has greatly increased our understanding of the role of chromosomal change in plant evolution. There is now a broad database on genome size variation within and among species and a wide array of nuclear and cytoplasmic genetic markers. There is a variety of literatures addressing this subject but much of it is scattered. This book created a contemporary synthesis or work in this area and addresses issues such as herogeneity, polyploidy, chromosomal rearrangements within species and phenotypic consequences of chromosome doubling.

Book Synopsis Evolution and Speciation of Island Plants by : Tod F. Stuessy
Download or read book Evolution and Speciation of Island Plants written by Tod F. Stuessy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-12-03 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oceanic island archipelagos provide many clues about evolutionary patterns and processes, and may rightly be considered as among the best places on earth to seek an understanding of the origin and elaboration of biological diversity. This volume brings together contributions covering a range of important issues in contemporary oceanic island plant biology, focusing on patterns and processes in various island groups (with emphasis on the Bonin, Hawaiian and Juan Fernandez Islands) to provide a stimulating view of the current state of research and a possible agenda for future investigations. Topics addressed include chromosomal variation, macromolecular divergence, island biogeography theory, isolating mechanisms, modes of speciation and evolution of secondary plant products. The result is a volume that reveals the special opportunities offered by oceanic archipelagos for investigating evolutionary phenomena in vascular plants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant genetics is the study of the evolution and heredity of plants. Plant genetics follows two major procedures - gene gun method and the agrobacterium method. Crop yields have significantly altered since the introduction of genetically modified plants. Such plants remain fresh and pest free for long periods of time. This book on plant genetics and evolution discusses the vital concepts and methods related to this field. It will help new researchers by foregrounding their knowledge in this branch. A number of latest researches have been included herein to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study.

Download or read book The Heredity of Acquired Characters in Plants written by George Henslow and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heredity of Acquired Characters in Plants The object of this book is to prove that Evolution - so far as Plants are concerned - depends upon the Inheritance of Acquired Characters. This was Darwin's contention. Dr Weismann and his followers assert that no such characters can ever be hereditary unless the influence of the environment can reach and affect the reproductive organs, or his hypothetical substance "germ-plasm." As all the characters of the vegetative system, or the soma of plants, which are regarded as specific, are acquired long before any reproductive organs exist at all, and therefore before any vegetative cell has begun to assume a reproductive character, Dr Weismann's proviso is inappplicable to plants.
