Book 10 Years Plant Molecular Biology

Download or read book 10 Years Plant Molecular Biology written by R.A. Schilperoort and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is very clear nowadays that plants offer several opportunities for basic studies, e.g. on development and embryogenesis, and that the fundamental principles laid open contribute to the development of new tools for plant breeding. Within the scope of the present publication, the editors have had to make a difficult choice from the many important subjects that have contributed to the remarkable progress of our molecular biological understanding of complex biological problems. This has resulted in review papers showing the present state of the art in genetic engineering, gene expression and its manipulation, microbe and insect interactions with plants, transposable elements and gene tagging, plant and organ development, the function and structure of the genome chloroplasts, and lipid biosynthesis. All papers have been written in such a way that they are also useful for non-experts interested in a particular field, as well as for students following courses in plant molecular biology. Besides presenting the state of the art, each paper gives some historical background to the developments in the field as well as perspectives for further basic research and applications. Because of the latter, scientists and students engaged in plant breeding will also profit from this publication.

Book The Tomato Crop

Download or read book The Tomato Crop written by J. Atherton and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tomato is commercially important throughout the world both for the fresh fruit market and the processed food industries. It is grown in a wide range of climates in the field, under protection in plastic greenhouses and in heated glasshouses. Genetic, physiological and pathological investigations frequently adopt the tomato plant as a convenient subject. Hitherto, much of the information on tomatoes has been fragmented: tomatoes grown in the field and under protection have been considered separately and the more fundamental findings from research have often failed to reach those involved directly or indirectly in commercial crop production. Similarly, the research scientist is often unaware of the problems of commercial crop production and the possible relevance of his work to the crop. This book is an attempt to rectify that situation. By giving a thorough scientific review of all factors influencing tomato production systems, it is hoped that this book will prove useful to students, researchers and commercial producers alike. It gives the basis for the develop ment of improved cultivars, the formulation of strategies for managing pest, disease and disorder problems and the production of high yields of good quality fruit as well as suggesting important areas for scientific initiatives. The extensive bibliographies provide a comprehensive database for tomato researchers. Such a vast subject could not be covered with authority by anyone author.

Book Advances in Tomato Technology

Download or read book Advances in Tomato Technology written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tomato being a vegetable crop of high nutritional and medicinal value, extensive research has been conducted on diverse aspects of agronomy, physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, food biotechnology and health sciences. Various tools of biotechnology have been utilized to understand its food value and utilization in the crop improvement for productivity and resistance to salinity, drought, temperature, nutrition, radiation, pest, and disease stress factors. This includes general biotechnology, genes controlling specific traits such as fruit shape, quality, various physiological traits, marker assisted selection; genes controlling biotic and abiotic traits, gene cloning and molecular biology. Tools of biotechnology have been employed to build transgenic tomato with high yield and resistance to some biotic and abiotic stress constraints. This information may function as a model to study biotechnology of other crops. In this context and as an approach and opportunity to gather and end up with an updated research advances on biotechnology, biochemical genetics and molecular biology on tomato, this book encompasses a panoramic view on these subjects and its implications. Chapter 1 deals, in general, on tomato yield production, greenhouse cropping, herbicide effects, mycorrhiza association and benefits, and crop growth. Chapter 2 illustrates aspects of phylogeny and evolution in regard to gene expression, molecular sequencing and analysis. Chapter 3 describes aspects of seed germination and seedling establishment in regard to biotic and abiotic factors, growth regulators and genetics. Chapter 4 considers traits related to growth and development with respect to root, stem, leaf, reproductive structures, production systems and limiting factors, postharvest physiology and biotechnology, fruit growth and ripening. Chapter 5 concerns on research advances on physiological basis of crop growth considering processes such as transpiration, photosynthesis, photorespiration, plant hormones, enzyme signaling, proton pumping, cell wall and membrane activity, environmental constraints, mineral nutrition and heavy metals. Chapters 6, 7 and 8 focus on abiotic, insect and diseases, respectively, factors that regulate tomato productivity. In addition, biotechnology tools, mechanisms of adaptation and tolerance, and management control strategies are also addressed to enhance and understand fundamental processes of the adaptation to biotic and abiotic stress factors. Chapter 9 emphasizes research advances in food value and food chemistry of tomato fruit and food products. Research lines have been directed on nutritional value, postharvest physiology and processing. Effects of storage, factors affecting quality, food chemistry and biotechnology are addressed too. Chapter 10 advocates on the research advances in tomato biotechnology in aspects such as DNA and RNA regulation, gene regulation for specific traits and metabolic functions considering biotic and abiotic stress factors, transgenic and in vitro culture plant tissue. On each chapter, classical and recent references provide further details about specific topics, which allow the reader to be carried in the current research horizons. Although there are outstanding available books on tomato, the authors wish to mention that this book will assist and provide an opportunity to undergraduate and graduate students as well as post-doctorates and research scientists in agronomy, horticultural and plant sciences, biochemistry, genetics, medical and health sciences, and food technology engineering to current and state of the art research in tomato biotechnology. In addition, personnel of government and nongovernmental organizations involved in tomato research will be benefitted from this book since it provide and gather update research references, which sometimes is difficult to compile.

Book The Genetic Basis of Plant Physiological Processes

Download or read book The Genetic Basis of Plant Physiological Processes written by John King and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-10-03 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant molecular biology is rapidly becoming an important and successful component of the worldwide research challenge to apply basic biochemical, physiological and genetic techniques for the improvement of agricultural crops. This book shows how the study of fundamental plant physiological processes is being advanced through the science of genetics. The author has adopted a case study approach to illustrate how defined genetic materials in mutants and plant variants are being productively used to explore photosynthesis, stress tolerance, seed physiology, and flowering and reproductive morphology. This approach also helps avoid overwhelming readers who might be unfamiliar with the enormous detail now available in this burgeoning field. The case studies cover all major fields of plant physiology and are grouped in a format familiar to students of the discipline. Most take the form of a brief introduction followed by a discussion of the isolation and characterization of the mutants in question, and then by examples of how these mutants have been used to provide physiological insights. The aim is to make the information accessible to students with an elementary knowledge of plant physiology, genetics, and molecular biology, as well as other scientists and students who wish to know more about the application of the powerful tools provided by genetics.

Book Biochemical and Physiological Aspects of Ethylene Production in Lower and Higher Plants

Download or read book Biochemical and Physiological Aspects of Ethylene Production in Lower and Higher Plants written by H. Clijsters and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the demonstration of the "triple response" in plants by Neljubow at the turn of the century, ethylene has been identified as a substance specifically affecting plant growth. Yet it took a few more decades to show that ethylene is a naturally occurring product of plants having all the characteristics of a phytohormone. Ever since much effort has been devoted to a wide variety of physiological and biochemical problems relevant to ethylene. A first meeting was organized in Israel in 1984 to bring together many people active in this rapidly expanding field of experimental research. It is the aim of the present symposium to provide once more a forum at which researchers might expose and comment progress in their work over the last few years. Speakers were invi ted and their contri buti ons ordered ina number of sessions, each of which was centered on a particular topiC. Much of the benefit came from ensuing discussion sessions which were conducted with much competence and expertise by Anderson, Ben-Arie, Goren, Morgan and Osborne. All of these colleagues are recognized leaders in ethylene research today and the organizers owe a very special gratitude to them for their substantial contribution to the programme. It is well to remember the friendly atmosphere, so essential to the success of the whole meeting and so much enjoyed by every partiCipant. Prompt publi ca tion of the papers was made possi ble by the camera-ready procedure offered by the publisher.

Book excerpt: This book describes the strategy used for sequencing, assembling and annotating the tomato genome and presents the main characteristics of this sequence with a special focus on repeated sequences and the ancestral polyploidy events. It also includes the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a major crop plant as well as a model for fruit development, and the availability of the genome sequence has completely changed the paradigm of the species’ genetics and genomics. The book describes the numerous genetic and genomic resources available, the identified genes and quantitative trait locus (QTL) identified, as well as the strong synteny across Solanaceae species. Lastly, it discusses the consequences of the availability of a high-quality genome sequence of the cultivated species for the research community. It is a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in the genetics and genomics of tomato and Solanaceae.
