a good reference
This is a good reference for anyone interested in information on theeffects of plant poisoning.It is obviously written for people in themedical profession and will be a bit over the top for anyone who isn'tfamiliar with medical vocabulary.The only shortcomings I have found withthis is the lack of definative information on the amounts necessary foreffects to be seen and the lack of emergency measures to be taken in caseof poisoning.It is a shame that this book is currently out of print.Itis certainly worth hunting down at the local library or used book store. ...

Product Description

This book provides both basic and advanced understanding of association mapping and an awareness of population genomics tools to facilitate mapping and identification of the underlying causes of quantitative trait variation in plants. It acts as a useful review of the marker technology, the statistical methodology, and the progress to date. It also offers guides to the use of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in association studies.

Product Description
The Monera and Protista Kingdoms contain species that form many different mineral types by varying processes at different cellular locations.This book identifies the underlying trends and processes common to each group. It discusses the controls, products, and functional significance of biomineralization for such simple organisms as algae, protozoans, bacteria, and lichens--information useful to botanists, zoologists, paleontologists, and research chemists. ...

Product Description
This benchmark text integrates the recent revolution in the molecular-developmental genetics of plants with mainstream evolutionary thought. There is increasing co-operation between strongly genomics-influenced researchers, with their strong grasp of technology, and evolutionary morphogenetists and systematics who are more deeply rooted in comparative biology and patterns of plant evolution. This book discusses our increasing understanding of gene function and expression, along with modern phylogenies integrating morphological and molecular data to highlight specific key transitions in plant evolution most worthy of intensive study. Furthermore, it explores increasing knowledge of the physical expression of plant development from disciplines such as anatomy and palaeobotany. Rather than focus on the technical aspects of plant genomics, this book provides genuinely integrated explanations of plant evolution.
This leading panel of contributors have succeeded in turning a demanding subject into an accessible volume for a wide range of professional botanists and postgraduate and senior undergraduates in developmental biology, applied molecular biology, molecular evolution, morphogenesis, organismal botany and theoretical systematics. ...

Product Description
The classification of plants at the infraspecific level poses a number of major problems.In this long-awaited volume, taxonomists in botany, horticulture, agriculture, and forestry explore the limitations of the present system of classification and consider ways to develop more satisfactory and workable systems for the future.The contributors examine such problems as continuous variation, merging populations and counterfeit hybrids, the classification of cultivated plants, and the rigidity of the International Code of Nomenclature. ...

Product Description
Based on a similarly named meeting in December 1999 organised by the British Society for Plant Pathology, this book considers the biology of interactions between host plants and the pathogens that infect them. This important topic has seen some significant advances in the past ten years, especially through the application of molecular techniques, which are extensively covered in this book. ... Read more

Product Description
Molecular Systematics and Plant Evolution discusses the diversity and evolution of plants, taking a molecular approach. It looks at population genetics, phylogeny (history of evolution) and developmental genetics, to provide a framework from which to understand evolutionary patterns and relationships amongst plants. The international (Europe and USA) panel of contributors are all respected systematists and evolutionary biologists, who have brought together a wide range of topics from the forefront of research whilst keeping the text accessible to students. It has been written for senior undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers in the fields of botany, systematics, population / conservation genetics, phylogenetics and evolutionary biology. ...

Specialists only
These are the proceedings of a science conference. The book contains a great many separate papers by specialists in not all that closely parallel fields. This is a book for libraries and specialists only.

Modern times
In a recent past times, the knowledge about the organisms was based upon morphological characters. They were agruped or separeted by yours diferences or similarities.Today, the morphological features yet posses a great amount, but the molecular data about the organisms in general sense, and the plants in a specific vision, bring to discussion a new view about the plant organization. The Hollingsworth et al. book's brings to botanical community, the most recent concepts about plant phylogeny and evolution. It serve to all botanists that wish maintain up-to-date in general plants systematics ... Read more

Product Description
Demand for the conservation of rapidly disappearing plants and ecological communities has provided botanists, systematists, and computer scientists with a unified goal--the production of a computer-based information checklist for all of the world's plants. Progress has been rapid in recent years.From a diverse array of disconnected systems and databases, there now exists a single, internationally supervised organization that is working to create an Internet accessible "common directory" of existing databases and a computer-based vascular plants action list. This book details the proceedings of that organization's symposium which examined the wide range of options open to the biodiversity community in creating a global plant species information system.Questions addressed include how an effective single taxonomic catalog and reference system can be conceived and implemented; what computer system, software, and data structures might enable both contributions from many sites and global access to the information; and how the needs of the biodiversity, conservation, pharmaceutical, agrochemical, biotechnology, and plant breeding communities can be met by using the plant catalog as a backbone for a variety of other databases of applied botanical data. This volume will be welcomed by all those in the fields of biodiversity and conservation who want to follow the details of this stimulating and important endeavor. ... Read more
