1999réf. 014898London: Kluwer Academic Publishers 1999. Cloth/Laminated Boards. Like New/No d/j as Published. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Type: Book From the pre-historic era to modern times cereal grains have been the most important source of human nutrition and have helped sustain the increasing population and the development of human civilization. In order to meet the food needs of the 21st century food production must be doubled by the year 2025 and nearly tripled by 2050. Such enormous increases in food productivity cannot be brought about by relying entirely on conventional breeding methods especially on less land per capita with poor quality and quantity of water and under rapidly deteriorating environmental conditions. Complementing and supplementing the breeding of major food crops such as the cereals which together account for 66 per cent of the world food supply with molecular breeding and genetic manipulation may well provide a grace period of about 50 years in which to control population growth and achieve sustainable development. In this volume leading world experts on cereal biotechnology describe the production and commercialization of the first generation of transgenic cereals designed to substantially reduce or prevent the enormous losses to cereal productivity caused by competition with weeds and by various pests and pathogens which is an important first step in that direction. 402pp. Kluwer Academic Publishers hardcover

Type: Book The Fifth International Workshop on Seeds was held at the University of Reading UK from 10 to 15 September 1995. Some 230 seed scientists from a wide range of disciplines botanists biochemists ecologists agriculturalists foresters and commercial seedsmen from 31 countries Europe the Americas and Asia participated in the workshop. A large number of oral and poster presentations was made during the workshop and we are pleased to publish so many of them in these Proceedings. The papers herein are listed by the sessions in which they were presented but as is often the case many papers cover a broader range of topics than the session titles imply. For seed physiologists ecologists and technologists this book collates much of the current research on seeds. 823pp. Kluwer Academic Publishers hardcover
1998réf. 015194London: Kluwer Academic Publishers 1998. Cloth. Very Good/No d/j as Published. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Type: Book Diazotrophic bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen to plant-useable form and this input of nitrogen through biological fixation is of great agronomic importance. The contributions presented in this volume relate to free-living nitrogen fixers and the diazotrophs associated with plants. Symbiotic association of Frankia with non-legumes and cyanobacterial associations are also discussed. Research topics covered in this volume include the biochemistry and genetics of diazotrophs recent developments in improvement of plant-microbe interactions and their molecular basis the use of molecular probes in taxonomy and ecology of diazotrophs and reports on field applications agronomic importance and improvement in methodologies for assessing their contribution to plants. This book provides valuable information not only for researchers working in the field of biological nitrogen fixation but also for biochemistry molecular biologists microbiologists and agronomists.360pp.N.B.Slight marking to base of spine and one inch adjacent front and rear boards where label removed.

This was designed to serve as a key visual reference for the legions of specimen and herbarium collectors during the Victorian fern rage or Pteridomania where enthusiastic and often zealous during the last half of the 19th Century filled ferneries created fern cabinets and herbariums. Ferns varieties illustrated within encompass Royal Fern Broad Buckler Fern Harstongue Mountain Buckler Fern Holy Fern Brittle Bladder Fern and many others. Heath 1843-1913 was a noted British botanist civil servant editor of Gilpin’s “Forest Scenery” and a pioneering force in the Open space and Green Belt movements across Victorian England.

A remarkable photo album documenting the recognized species of tobacco plants as established by Thomas Harper Goodspeed who established in his groundbreaking 1954 Genus Nicotiana 13 infrageneric sections grouping 61 then-recognized species of nicotiana by common and cytogenetic characters. Tobacco plants are widely used in plant virology due mainly to the large number of diverse plant viruses that can successfully infect them as well as serving indispensable in studies of genetic variation protein localization and purification. Goodspeed 1887-1966 originally worked as Curator of the University of California Botanical Garden and was the key figure in overseeing the Garden’s relocation to Strawberry Canyon before serving as its’ director from 1934 to 1957. He spent decades tracing the origins via hybridization of the many varieties of cultivated tobacco plants and close relatives including species of the genus drawn from the Americas Antarctica and Australasia.

1650réf. 93TCL8LKTV6YNetherlands 1650. Framed. Drawings 48.8 x 28.9-29.2 cm. Black chalk drawings occasionally heightened with white chalk including some light brown watercolours on grey 17th-century handmade paper without watermark. In manuscript 'Martagon' in brown ink. In lower right corner in manuscript the number '3' in ink. We have not succeeded in identifying the artist of these beautiful drawings. We know no other drawing that is clearly from the same hand. Two artists are mentioned as possible candidates Govert Flinck Cleves 1615-1660 Amsterdam and Gerbrand van den Eeckhout 1621 - Amsterdam - 1674. The present drawings are probably made around the middle of the 17th century in Holland. The composition is similar to some papers in florilegia such as Theodor de Bry 1611/1612 to 1641 and later but they never show so many species and the flowers on a sheet. This study could be a sketch for a painting not necessarily a floral still life possibly a landscape. In fine condition.l Cf. Bernt Die niederländischen Maler und Zeichner des 17.
