Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometime around 1500 AD, an African farmer planted a maize seed imported from the New World. That act set in motion the remarkable saga of one of the world’s most influential crops—one that would transform the future of Africa and of the Atlantic world. Africa’s experience with maize is distinctive but also instructive from a global perspective: experts predict that by 2020 maize will become the world’s most cultivated crop. James C. McCann moves easily from the village level to the continental scale, from the medieval to the modern, as he explains the science of maize production and explores how the crop has imprinted itself on Africa’s agrarian and urban landscapes. Today, maize accounts for more than half the calories people consume in many African countries. During the twentieth century, a tidal wave of maize engulfed the continent, and supplanted Africa’s own historical grain crops—sorghum, millet, and rice. In the metamorphosis of maize from an exotic visitor into a quintessentially African crop, in its transformation from vegetable to grain, and from curiosity to staple, lies a revealing story of cultural adaptation. As it unfolds, we see how this sixteenth-century stranger has become indispensable to Africa’s fields, storehouses, and diets, and has embedded itself in Africa’s political, economic, and social relations. The recent spread of maize has been alarmingly fast, with implications largely overlooked by the media and policymakers. McCann’s compelling history offers insight into the profound influence of a single crop on African culture, health, technological innovation, and the future of the world’s food supply.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The colossal importance of various field crops to satisfy hunger and other requirement of human beings is well known. The roles of cereals and pulses on human nutrition deserves special emphasis for billions of human populations in the world. The present books brief accounts of various aspects of important cereal crops, sugarcane, various legumes, oil seed crops, and fiber yielding crops of the world in different chapters with illustrations. It deals origin and domestication, systematic positions, utilization, botanical description, vegetative and reproductive growth, physiology, mineral nutrition productivity and abiotic stress resistance of most of the crops and also discusses the mechanism of tolerance to drought and salinity. The book also deals with various aspects of fiber crops. In the last two chapters are discussed researches undertaken on salinity tolerance of few crops. Therefore, the book deals in brief the major aspects of most of the field crops in the world. Not a single book is available in the market dealing with so many aspects all together. The book can serve as a text book in economic botany, agriculture and serve the needs of researcher’s working on various crops with research advances obtained on these crops.

This book was released on 2008-11-14 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, there has been tremendous progress in maize biotechnology. This volume provides an overview of our current knowledge of maize molecular genetics, how it is being used to improve the crop, and future possibilities for crop enhancement. Several chapters deal with genetically engineered traits that are currently, or soon will be, in commercial production. Technical approaches for introducing novel genes into the maize genome, the regeneration of plants from transformed cells, and the creation of transgenic lines for field production are covered. Further, the authors describe how molecular genetic techniques are being used to identify genes and characterize their function, and how these procedures are utilized to develop elite maize germplasm. Moreover, molecular biology and physiological studies of corn as a basis for the improvement of its nutritional and food-making properties are included. Finally, the growing use of corn as biomass for energy production is discussed.
