This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The formation, dispersal and germination of seeds are crucial stages in the life cycles of gymnosperm and angiosperm plants. The unique properties of seeds, particularly their tolerance to desiccation, their mobility, and their ability to schedule their germination to coincide with times when environmental conditions are favorable to their survival as seedlings, have no doubt contributed significantly to the success of seed-bearing plants. Humans are also dependent upon seeds, which constitute the majority of the world’s staple foods (e.g., cereals and legumes). Seeds are an excellent system for studying fundamental developmental processes in plant biology, as they develop from a single fertilized zygote into an embryo and endosperm, in association with the surrounding maternal tissues. As genetic and molecular approaches have become increasingly powerful tools for biological research, seeds have become an attractive system in which to study a wide array of metabolic processes and regulatory systems. Seed Development, Dormancy and Germination provides a comprehensive overview of seed biology from the point of view of the developmental and regulatory processes that are involved in the transition from a developing seed through dormancy and into germination and seedling growth. It examines the complexity of the environmental, physiological, molecular and genetic interactions that occur through the life cycle of seeds, along with the concepts and approaches used to analyze seed dormancy and germination behavior. It also identifies the current challenges and remaining questions for future research. The book is directed at plant developmental biologists, geneticists, plant breeders, seed biologists and graduate students.

Book excerpt: Seed and Growth by Sister Mary Thomas Lillis is the simple and courageous story of the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose from the foundation of their religious congregation in San Francisco, California, in 1876, to its outreach to both Germany and Mexico. Rooted in the late19th century and extending to the beginning of Vatican II (1962), the book gives a feel for religious life over this expanse of time and chronicles the difficulties of establishing foundations for the service of the poor, the young and the vulnerable. Following in the spirit of St. Dominic, three young women (the oldest was 24) traveled by train from Brooklyn, New York, to San Francisco, to work among the German immigrants. Meeting financial difficulties and opposition from several clergy with unparalled trust, the young founder Mother Maria Pia Backes started schools and orphanages in northern and southern California and Oregon. While the desire of this small band of sisters was to stay connected to their original foundation in Amityville, New York, the distance, given travel and communication at the time, proved too difficult. Over time the Congregation's outreach would extend to large and small cities in California, Oregon, Texas, Mexico, and Germany, never without challenges. The book gives insight into the lives of the sisters in the early days as they did their own weaving and sewing, printing and farming, making of olive oil and harvesting of honey. The community would be enriched by artists in the making of church vestments and sculptures, masters of Gregorian chant, and scholars. The book also shows the sisters' dedication to education. And all of this was done against the background of a rich liturgical and private prayer life and a strong sense of community. The book is a strong testament to Mother Pia's legacy to this young congregation, a legacy that included the gift of daily praying the Liturgy of the Hours, the Church's official prayer., and papal approbation. Another part of it is summed up so well in her often quoted words that filled all that she did: "God alone."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of an established title examines the determination of grain crop yield from a unique perspective, by concentrating on the influence of the seed itself. As the food supply for an expanding world population is based on grain crops harvested for their seeds, understanding the process of seed growth and its regulation is crucial to our efforts to increase production and meet the needs of that population. Yield of grain crops is determined by their assimilatory processes such as photosynthesis and the biosynthetic processes in the seed, which are partly regulated within the seed itself. Substantially updated with new research and further developments of the practical applications of the concepts explored, this book is essential reading for those concerned with seed science and crop yield, including agronomists, crop physiologists, plant breeders, and extension workers. It is also a valuable source of information for lecturers and graduate students of agronomy and plant physiology.

Book excerpt: This book is a collection of comprehensive reviewed chapters covering major physiological aspects, both production as well as biochemical aspects, of a plant under low temperature stress. Low temperature stress has been dealt in two parts, first between 10 to 00 C and secondly between 0 to -400 C. This book highlights the physiological aspects of plants under low temperature stress and explains the various adaptive measures plants undergo to tolerate low temperature stress. Essential information is provided on germination, growth and development, dry matter accumulation, partitioning and final yield of a crop plant. As physiology deals with morphological and biochemical aspect of all the basic processes, therefore an in depth understanding the major physiological issues in plants under high temperature will help plant breeders to tailor different crop plants with desirable physiological traits to do better under higher temperature. The present book is intended to cover the effects of low temperature stress on the various physiological aspects in plants. Not only in production physiology, this book also deals with major biochemical processes, like photosynthesis, nitrogen and lipid metabolism, mineral nutrition and plant growth hormones. Efforts have been made deal with different measures to mitigate the effects of low temperature stress on plants. This book will be an asset for post graduate students, faculty members, researchers engaged in not only in physiological studies but also agronomy, plant breeding and like subjects. In depth analysis of the major physiological processes in plants under low temperature stress that are presented in this book will help plant breeders for tailoring crops for desirable physiological traits needed to survive and to give better economic return under the threats of low temperature stress. This book is also helpful for policy planners and industries engaged in agribusiness in short term as well as long term gain.
