As the new and powerful technologies of molecular genetics are brought to bear on photoperiodism, it becomes particularly important to place new work in the context of the considerable amount of physiological information which already exists on the subject. This innovative book will be of interest to a wide range of plant scientists, from those interested in fundamental plant physiology and molecular biology to agronomists and crop physiologists. - Provides a self-sufficient account of all the important subjects and key literature references for photoperiodism - Includes research of the last twenty years since the publication of the First Edition - Includes details of molecular genetic techniques brought to bear on photoperiodism
Download or read book Understanding Options for Agricultural Production written by G.Y. Tsuji and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first premise of this book is that farmers need access to options for improving their situation. In agricultural terms, these options might be manage ment alternatives or different crops to grow, that can stabilize or increase household income, that reduce soil degradation and dependence on off-farm inputs, or that exploit local market opportunities. Farmers need a facilitating environment, in which affordable credit is available if needed, in which policies are conducive to judicious management of natural resources, and in which costs and prices of production are stable. Another key ingredient of this facilitating environment is information: an understanding of which options are viable, how these operate at the farm level, and what their impact may be on the things that farmers perceive as being important. The second premise is that systems analysis and simulation have an impor tant role to play in fostering this understanding of options, traditional field experimentation being time-consuming and costly. This book summarizes the activities of the International Benchmark Sites Network for Agrotechnology Transfer (IBSNAT) project, an international initiative funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). IBSNAT was an attempt to demonstrate the effectiveness of understanding options through systems analysis and simulation for the ultimate benefit of farm households in the tropics and subtropics. The idea for the book was first suggested at one of the last IBSNAT group meetings held at the University of Hawaii in 1993.
Download or read book Plant Physiology And Metabolism written by Dr. H M Patil and published by AG PUBLISHING HOUSE (AGPH Books). This book was released on 2022-12-16 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of the inner workings of plants, or their physiology, is known as plant physiology. It is a sub-discipline of botany. Breathing, hormone functions, photosynthesis, feeding, nastic motions, tropisms, parthenogenesis, phototropism, as well as circadian rhythms are some of the primary activities discussed. Environmental stress physiology, seed germination, stomatal function, and dormancy are also covered. Besides, the topic is strongly associated with the sciences like plant morphology, plant ecology, phytochemistry, genetics, biophysics, molecular biology and cell biology. Plant physiology focuses on examining every internal action of the plant. The major physical and chemical processes are explored in the topic. This includes events that occur on a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. In other words, the study examines molecular interactions like photosynthesis and also the internal transport of water, minerals, and nutrients. There are also large-scale processes, such as changing the seasons, the growth of plants, the regulation of reproduction, and hibernation. The physiology of plants is a vital field of study for farmers. How plants are grown is an art form. Agriculture is the bedrock upon which human civilization was built. Domesticated species farming creates food surpluses that allow city dwellers to have a better standard of living. Plant genetics, agronomy, and also the use of the agrochemicals like fertilisers and pesticides are all part of today's agriculture.
