Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achieving science literacy for every student is the common goal of all science educators. It requires leaders from a broad specturm of the science educaiton field to band together and clearly define how to achieve this goal and provide the tools for getting there. The authors of the essays in Science Education leadership: Best Practices for the New Centruy make a compelling case for the importance of these leaders to forge a coalition and address issues of science education. They outline practical approaches needed for laying the foundation on which science education leaders at all levels can work together to develop a more science literate world. As such, this book will be invaluable to those who want to broaden the scope of their leadership roles. The book shares the research, ideas, insights, and experiences of individuals representing a wide array of consistent groups, ranging from science teachers to science supervisors to university personnel to those who work for agencies representing the science education field. The chapters are organized around five themes: The Science Education Challenge; School and District Science Leadership for Building Instructional Capacity; Science Education Leadership; School Improvement Processes and Practices; and Leadership that Engages the Public Understanding of Science. Science Education Leadership captures the best thinking and best practices for sicence education leaders. Science educators can use it to vitalize their work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aim Of This Book Is Twofold: First, To Give An Introduction To The Essential Principles Of Genetics And Cytology, And Secondly, To Give An Account Of Recent Results In Relation To Horticulture. The Science Of Genetics Has A Wide Horticultural Application; It Is Of Value To The Plant-Breeder, Seeds-Man And Gardener In Providing A Detailed Knowledge Of Variation And Heredity, And Guidance In The Maintenance Of Purity In Their Stocks. Genetics May Also Be Of Value To The Nurseryman Whose Business Lies In The Vegetative Reproduction Of Plants. Our Knowledge Of The Genetics Of Polyploids Has Been Largely Developed From Investigations With Horticultural Plants, Hence The Genetics Of Garden Plants Is Of Direct Interest To The Student Of Genetics As Well As Of Use To The Plant-Breeder And Horticulturist. The Book Describe Principles As Simply As The Technicalities Of Subject Will Allow, Illustrating Them With Typical Examples From A Range Of Flowers, Fruits And Vegetables, And To Give Reference To The Original Sources Of Information Which May Be Of Interest To The Scientists Or Students.

Book excerpt: The revised edition of the bestselling textbook, covering both classical and molecular plant breeding Principles of Plant Genetics and Breeding integrates theory and practice to provide an insightful examination of the fundamental principles and advanced techniques of modern plant breeding. Combining both classical and molecular tools, this comprehensive textbook describes the multidisciplinary strategies used to produce new varieties of crops and plants, particularly in response to the increasing demands to of growing populations. Illustrated chapters cover a wide range of topics, including plant reproductive systems, germplasm for breeding, molecular breeding, the common objectives of plant breeders, marketing and societal issues, and more. Now in its third edition, this essential textbook contains extensively revised content that reflects recent advances and current practices. Substantial updates have been made to its molecular genetics and breeding sections, including discussions of new breeding techniques such as zinc finger nuclease, oligonucleotide directed mutagenesis, RNA-dependent DNA methylation, reverse breeding, genome editing, and others. A new table enables efficient comparison of an expanded list of molecular markers, including Allozyme, RFLPs, RAPD, SSR, ISSR, DAMD, AFLP, SNPs and ESTs. Also, new and updated “Industry Highlights” sections provide examples of the practical application of plant breeding methods to real-world problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant Genes, Genomes and Genetics provides a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of plant gene expression. Unique in explaining the subject from a plant perspective, it highlights the importance of key processes, many first discovered in plants, that impact how plants develop and interact with the environment. This text covers topics ranging from plant genome structure and the key control points in how genes are expressed, to the mechanisms by which proteins are generated and how their activities are controlled and altered by posttranslational modifications. Written by a highly respected team of specialists in plant biology with extensive experience in teaching at undergraduate and graduate level, this textbook will be invaluable for students and instructors alike. Plant Genes, Genomes and Genetics also includes: specific examples that highlight when and how plants operate differently from other organisms special sections that provide in-depth discussions of particular issues end-of-chapter problems to help students recapitulate the main concepts rich, full-colour illustrations and diagrams clearly showing important processes in plant gene expression a companion website with PowerPoint slides, downloadable figures, and answers to the questions posed in the book Aimed at upper level undergraduates and graduate students in plant biology, this text is equally suited for advanced agronomy and crop science students inclined to understand molecular aspects of organismal phenomena. It is also an invaluable starting point for professionals entering the field of plant biology.
