Hardbound. Condición: As New. New. Botany is a branch of biological science which embraces the study of plants and plant life. Botanical studies may range from microscopic observations of the smallest and obscurest plants to the study of the trees of the forest. One botanist may be interested mainly in the relationships among plants and in their geographic distribution whereas another may be primarily concerned with structure or with the study of the life processes taking place in plants. Botany may be divided by subject matter into several specialties such as plant anatomy plant chemistry plant cytology plant ecology (including autecology and synecology) plant embryology plant genetics plant morphology plant physiology plant taxonomy ethnobotany and paleobotany. It may also be divided according to the group of plants being studied for example agostology the study of grasses alogology (phycology) the study of algae bryology the study of mosses mycology the study of fungi and pteridology the study of ferns. Bacteriology and virology are also parts of botany in a broad sense. Furthermore a number of agricultural subjects have botany as their foundation. Among there are agronomy floriculture forestry horticulture landscape architecture and plant breeding. This dictionary covers all aspects of pure and applied plant science including the taxonomy and classification of plants with entries for the higher ranking taxa. 228 pp.…

Biotechnology in livestock production. 6. Biotechnology for food security. 7. Applications of marine biotechnology. 8. Industrial applications of biotechnology. 9. Applications of biotechnology in health care. 10. Biotechnological applications in environment. 11. Impact of biotechnology on biodiversity. Bibliography. Index. Biotechnology is the culmination of more than 8000 years of human experience using live organisms and the process of fermentation to make useful products. It can be viewed as a group of useful enabling technologies with wide and diverse applications in the industry commerce and environment. Historically biotechnology evolved as an artisanal skill rather than a science exemplified in the manufacture of beers wines cheese etc. Today biotechnology is applied to manufacturing processes used in health care food and agriculture industrial processes and environmental cleanup among other applications. This book offers a comprehensive description of the applications of biotechnology in various fields including agriculture industrial processes healthcare food and environmental cleanup. The book will be appropriate as a guide for upper level undergraduate courses and as a comprehensive resource for those engaged in professional practice and research in biotechnology. 280 pp.…

Genetic markers for plant transformation. 5. Advances of fruit tree transformation. 6. Genetically modified crops promises and challenges. 7. Benefits to rice biotechnology. 8. Plant conservation through biotechnology. 9. Safety evaluation of genetically modified plant products. 10. Intellectual property issues in plant biotechnology. Bibliography. Index. Genetic transformation is the transfer of isolated and cloned genes into the DNA usually the chromosomal DNA of another organism. The aim is to introduce new characteristics such as making a crop resistant to a herbicide introducing a novel trait or producing a new protein or enzyme. This genetic modification technology is enabling scientists to pursue exciting novel strategies for plant improvement most of which would be impossible using traditional plant breeding methodologies. This new line of investigation has great potential to benefit farmers consumers and societies worldwide. The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of the production of genetically modified plants highlighting the key scientific and technical advances that underpin their development. Topics such as promises and risks of genetic modification of plants intellectual property issues of plant biotechnology nature conservation through plant biotechnology etc. are also described in detail. This book is written for plant biochemists food scientists plant geneticists and students and teachers of biotechnology. 296 pp.…

Modern food technology. 7. Transgenic technologies. 8. Use of communication technology in biotechnology. 9. Sustainable use of biotechnology. Bibliography. Index. Biotechnology seems to be leading a sudden new biological revolution. It has brought us to the brink of a world of engineered products that are based in the natural world rather than on chemical and industrial processes. Biotechnology is currently being used in many areas including agriculture bioremediation food processing and energy production. Biotechnology derived products have the potential to positively change our society from improving health care and increasing agricultural products to producing a cleaner environment. This book discuss the cutting edge developments in the field of biotechnology and its impacts in society. It guides readers through multi staged biotechnical applications and explores biotechnology's effects on today's society and on future generations. Besides students teachers and researchers of biotechnology the contents of the book will also be valuable to all who wish to improve their knowledge in biotechnology. 294 pp. …

Hardbound. Condición: As New. New. The use of biological processes as through the exploitation and manipulation of living organisms or biological systems in the development or manufacture of a product or in the technological solution to a problem. As such biotechnology is a general category that has applications in pharmacology medicine agriculture and many other fields. The techniques of genetic engineering have been used to manipulate the DNA (genetic material see nucleic acid) of bacteria and other organisms to manufacture biological products such as drugs (insulin interferon and growth hormones). A common technique involved in this process in gene splicing in which a gene that produces a desired product can be inserted into bacterial DNA. Bacteria can then be grown in large quantities and processed to extract the desired substance specially cultured plant and animal cells can be similarly grown and processed. Hybrids of cancer and antibody producing cells (hybridomas) have been cloned in the laboratory to mass produce experimental monoclonal antibodies which are being studied for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Bacteria have also been altered to break down oil slicks and industrial waste products. This dictionary is designed to be a comprehensive reference tool for biotechnology professionals students and laymen interested in biotechnology. The book will be an authoritative source to which one can turn with confidence for meaning and knowledge of the common specialized and latest terms in biotechnology and allied fields. 352 pp.…

Hardbound. Condición: As New. New. The art and science of crop and livestock production. In its broadest sense agriculture comprises the entire range of technologies associated with the production of useful products from plants and animals including soil cultivation crop and livestock management and the activities of processing and marketing. The term agribusiness has been coined to include all the technologies that mesh in the total inputs and outputs of the farming sector. In this light agriculture encompasses the whole range of economic activities involved in manufacturing and distributing the industrial inputs used in farming the farm production of crops animals and animal products the processing of these materials into finished products and the provision of products at a time and place demanded by consumers. This dictionary provides clear up to date and comprehensive coverage of agricultural terms. Subjects covered include cultivation machinery livestock crops pesticides and herbicides fertilizers organic farming and veterinary science. Jargon free definitions make this dictionary particularly suitable for users with or without a background in agriculture. 334 pp.…
