Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sunflower Plant: Its Cultivation, Composition and Uses The introduction and successful establishment of new agricultural industries can not fail to be of benefit to the general agricultural interests of the country, which as a rule are the more prosperous as they are more diversified. Numerous inquiries have been addressed to the Department of Agriculture in the last two years in regard to the growth of sunflowers for economical purposes and the manufacture of oil from their seed, indicating a large and growing popular interest in the subject. It has been found impossible to give the desired information to correspondents in an epistolary form. For the purpose of giving to those interested in the matter all the information available some investigations have been made in the composition of the sunflower, the methods of culture, and the manufacture of oil from the seed. The results of these investigations are contained in the present bulletin. By the courtesy of the Statistician, a circular was sent to the correspondents of the Department for the purpose of ascertaining the acreage cultivated in sunflowers, and the disposition made of the crop. Many replies have been received in response to this circular, which have enabled us to definitely point out those areas in the United States in which the sunflower is now cultivated as an agricultural crop, and also to give some valuable data in regard to the methods of cultivation and harvesting employed. The answers to these circulars, however, failed to give any definite information in regard to the extraction of oil from the seeds of the sunflower for commercial purposes. It is not believed that any oil factory devoted exclusively to the manufacture of oil from sunflower seeds is in operation in this country. As will appear from a discussion of the data which have been collected, it is evident that the product of sunflowers at the present time, so far as seeds are concerned, is devoted chiefly to the feeding of birds and poultry, and in some instances to medicinal purposes for cattle and horses.

Download or read book Mutagenesis exploring genetic diversity of crops written by N.B. Tomlekova and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the present era various international organizations, such as FAO, UNO, IAEA, FNCA, etc., have unanimously agreed that millions of people in both developing and developed countries are not only facing a shortage of food, but also non-availability of nutrients. The main reason put forward by these agencies is that there is less genetic diversity prevalent in the major crops, which has been further diminished since the inception of conventional plant breeding. Since the first decade of the last century the mutation breeding approach has been pivotal in enhancing the genetic diversity of crops, thereby enriching the genetic pool. ‘Mutagenesis: exploring genetic diversity of crops’ describes the latest achievements in mutation breeding, with a particular focus on the development of novel mutant varieties and F1 hybrids of crops highly superior to the parental ones. The book details experimental as well as literary studies of induced mutagenesis and its role in developing the new potent varieties. The book will be useful for agricultural policy making authorities in countries of agricultural importance, scientific researchers, breeders, teachers and students keen to use mutation breeding and to explore its hidden potential to secure food and nutrient availability for the growing world population.

Download or read book Compendium of Crop Genome Designing for Nutraceuticals written by Chittaranjan Kole and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 1630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crop plants cater not only to our basic F5 (food, feed, fiber, fuel, and furniture) needs but also provide a number of nutraceuticals with potential nutritional, safety and therapeutic properties. Many crop plants provide an array of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidant-rich bioactive phytochemicals. Increasing incidences of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and HIV, and malnutrition necessitate global attention to health and nutrition security with equal emphasis to food security. This compendium compiles results of researches on biochemical, physiological and genetic mechanisms underlying biosynthesis of the health and nutrition related nutraceuticals. It also explores the precise breeding strategies for augmentation of their content and amelioration of their quality in crop plants under all commodity categories including cereals and millets, oilseeds, pulses, fruits and nuts, and vegetables. The compendium comprise 5 sections dedicated to these 5 commodity groups and presents enumeration on the concepts, strategies, tools and techniques of nutraceutomics. These sections include 50 chapters devoted to even number of major crop plants. These chapters present deliberations on the biochemistry and medicinal properties of the nutracuticals contained; genetic variation in their contents; classical genetics and breeding for their quantitative and qualitative improvement; tissue culture and genetic engineering for augmentation of productivity and quality; and sources of genes underlying their biosynthesis. They also include comprehensive enumeration on genetic mapping of the genes and QTLs controlling the contents and profile of the nutraceuticals and molecular breeding for their further improvement through marker assisted selection and backcross breeding tools. Prospects of post-genomic precise breeding strategies including genome-wide association mapping, genomic selection, allele mining, and genome editing are also discussed. This compendium fills the gap in academia, and research and development wings of the private sector industries interested in an array of subjects including genetics, genomics, tissue culture, genetic engineering, molecular breeding, genomics-assisted breeding, bioinformatics, biochemistry, physiology, pathology, entomology, pharmacognosy, IPR, etc., and will also facilitate understanding of the policy making agencies and people in the socio-economic domain and research sponsoring agencies.
