Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guayule (Parthenium Argentatum Gray): Rubber-Plant of the of Desert the Desert In 1907 the author of the present paper was engaged by the Continental-Mexican Rubber Company and the Intercontinental Rubber Company to organize investigations looking toward the successful cultivation of a Mexican desert rubber plant, the guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray). Dr. Theodore Whittelsey and Dr. J. E. Kirkwood later became identified with this undertaking, the former as chemist, the latter as assistant botanist. The headquarters for the investigations were established at the Hacienda de Cedros, Partido de Mazapil, Zacatecas, Mexico. It was not a matter for congratulation that, at the close of a year, the directors found it inadvisable, for financial reasons consequent on the panic of 1907, to continue the department of investigation. By the courtesy of the company, however, the author carried on his studies for some three months beyond the termination of his business relations with it, and this period, falling during the growing season of 1908, brought to light many important facts. Still further observations of capital importance, in part on experiments begun in 1907 and 1908, were made by the writer in April 1909, while representing the United States Rubber Company, a commission which could not have been prosecuted without the kind concurrence of President C. C. Thach and a number of the writers colleagues at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. As silence was not imposed by the United States Rubber Company, it has been possible to include these observations. No less than hearty recognition is due also to Mr. W. H. Stay ton, formerly captain, U. S. Navy, sometime president of the Continental-Mexican Rubber Company, and now president of the Texas Rubber Company. It is stating an open secret to say that it was through the initiative and enthusiasm of this gentleman that the work of the investigation was undertaken and would have been continued but for circumstances beyond his control. Mr. Stayton has shown a liberal and scientific spirit, qualities not of necessity nor at all times associated. Thanks are due further to Prof. J. C. Arthur and Prof. W. G. Farlow for reports on various pathological matters; to Dr. M. T. Cook for contributing manuscript on the galls found on guayule; to Dr. A. D. Hopkins for a report on the guayule bark-borer; to Dr. L. O. Howard and Dr. J. G. Sanders for the identification of certain insects; and to Prof. B. L. Robinson for his courtesy in causing a photograph of the type specimen of guayule to be made. Mr. Charles S. Ridgway has rendered substantial aid in the preparation of certain figures. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the development of innovative modern methodologies towards augmenting conventional plant breeding, in individual crops, for the production of new crop varieties under the increasingly limiting environmental and cultivation factors to achieve sustainable agricultural production, enhanced food security, in addition to providing raw materials for innovative industrial products and pharmaceuticals. This is Vol 6, subtitled Industrial and Food Crops, which consists of two parts. Included in Part I are 11 industrial plant species utilized as sources of raw materials for the production of industrial products including pulp and wood crops (acacia), fiber (cotton, jute and ramie), rubber (guayule and rubber tree), oil (jojoba and flax), biofuels and pharmaceutical (agave) and sugar source (sugarcane). Part II covers 7 food plants selected for their utilization in food industries for the production of chocolate (cacao), cooking oil (oil palm, safflower, sesame and sunflower) and natural flavors and aroma (saffron and vanilla). This volume is contributed by 60 internationally reputable scientists from 14 countries. Each chapter comprehensively reviews the modern literature on the subject and reflects the authors own experience.

Download or read book Biology of Hevea Rubber written by P.M. Priyadarshan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-09 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second edition of this book, the origin, upkeep and latex harvest from the Hevea rubber tree are dealt with succinctly. New chapters have been included on Propagation Systems and Genetic Resources. The importance of Heterozygosis and Breeding is a new theme for the section on Breeding. A new chapter on Genomics and Molecular Breeding that focuses on the latest advancements on gene mapping, marker assisted selection and stimulation has been added. Lastly, ‘textboxes’ that highlight points and topics of significant interest are included in the new addition. Natural rubber has been an essential commodity not only for the tire industry but also for more than 50,000 products that holds elasticity as an attribute. The prime source of natural rubber worldwide is Hevea brasiliensis. Hevea rubber tree is an excellent example of how a soil-tree-atmosphere system can work in tandem. The retrieval of rubber through ‘injuring’ the tree on alternate days or once in three days or once in seven days, is indeed a unique arrangement followed universally that ensures income to the planter almost throughout the year. Every molecule of rubber is the end result of meticulous biochemical changes. Therefore the biology of Hevea rubber tree itself is a subject that aggregates science and technology for the realization of its industrial utility.

Book excerpt: The demand for plant-based industrial raw materials has increased as well as research into expanding the utility of plants for current and future uses. Plants are renewable, have limited or positive environmental impact and have the potential to yield a wide range of products in contrast to petroleum-based materials. Plants can be used in a variety of different industries and products including bioenergy, industrial oil and starch, fibre and dye, rubber and related compounds, insecticide and land rehabilitation. This title offers a comprehensive coverage of each of these uses. Chapters discuss.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Woody plants such as trees have a significant economic and climatic influence on global economies and ecologies. This completely revised classic book is an up-to-date synthesis of the intensive research devoted to woody plants published in the second edition, with additional important aspects from the authors' previous book, Growth Control in Woody Plants. Intended primarily as a reference for researchers, the interdisciplinary nature of the book makes it useful to a broad range of scientists and researchers from agroforesters, agronomists, and arborists to plant pathologists and soil scientists. This third edition provides crutial updates to many chapters, including: responses of plants to elevated CO2; the process and regulation of cambial growth; photoinhibition and photoprotection of photosynthesis; nitrogen metabolism and internal recycling, and more. Revised chapters focus on emerging discoveries of the patterns and processes of woody plant physiology.* The only book to provide recommendations for the use of specific management practices and experimental procedures and equipment*Updated coverage of nearly all topics of interest to woody plant physiologists* Extensive revisions of chapters relating to key processes in growth, photosynthesis, and water relations* More than 500 new references * Examples of molecular-level evidence incorporated in discussion of the role of expansion proteins in plant growth; mechanism of ATP production by coupling factor in photosynthesis; the role of cellulose synthase in cell wall construction; structure-function relationships for aquaporin proteins
