Genetics, Genomics and Breeding of Seed Spices (Concepts and Strategies in Plant Sciences)
by Chittaranjan KoleThis volume presents detailed reviews on biochemistry, classical genetics and traditional breeding, germplasm diversity, molecular genetics, tissue culture, biotechnology, and structural and functional genomics of ten major seed spices including ajwain, anise, celery, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, fenugreek, Nigella and parsely. The seed spices include the most ancient crops of the world being cultivated for thousands of years as spices, condiments and herbal medicines. Besides adding attractive flavor and taste, seed spices are used as preservatives, and preventive and curative phytomedicines. Despite the immense importance of these crops and their multipurpose utilities, there is no comprehensive compilation of the information on genetics, genomics and breeding in these crops. The present book fills up that gap in literature. This book is useful to the students, teachers and scientists in the academia and relevant scientists interested in genetics, genomics, breeding and genetic engineering and also crop production, pathology, physiology, of seed spices. This book is also useful to the seed companies and industries engaged in long-term preservation, essential oil-based products and pharmaceuticals.
Genetics, Mass Media and Identity: A Case Study of the Genetic Research on the Lemba
by Tudor Parfitt Yulia EgorovaThis is the first book to explore the effect of genetic research on the Lemba Judaising community of Southern Africa and the phenomenon of Israelite identity. The science of genetics as relayed by the media is perceived by laymen as being irreproachably objective 'hard science': its disinterested 'scientific' findings appear immensely impressive and may therefore act as a powerful catalyst for change. In this case, an oral tradition cherished by many of the Lemba that they are of Jewish origin appears to be supported by recent DNA testing, which has deeply affected the narrative and religious identity of the group and the way the tribe is perceived in the Western world. International in appeal, this topical text brings together cutting-edge research on the social, cultural and ethical implications of genetics and the study of Judaising movements across the world. This book will be of interest to researchers and students of Jewish history, genetic anthropology, race and ethnicity studies, and religious and cultural studies.
Genetics, Physiology and Cultivation of Moth Bean, Cowpea and Horse Gram
by Rakesh PathakThis authored book gives insight into the morphology, physiology, genetics, plant protection and biotechnology of three important arid legumes, viz., moth bean, cowpea and horse gram. There are seven chapters for each crop that provide in-depth information on cultivation, genetic improvement, plant protection measures, management of physiological and abiotic stresses along with related genetic markers and biotechnological advances pertaining to these legumes. The chapters present research findings and brief reviews concerning the advances made in the improvement of these legumes.Legumes are utilized as pulses or grains aiding as an important source of protein for both human and animal consumption and also provide raw materials to the food and feed industries. They are also valuable for soil building, improving soil quality and biological nitrogen fixation. Physiology and genetics provide an inimitable source of information on the distinct aspects of basic and applied legume research for general readers, students, academicians and researchers. Arid legumes are crops characterized by inherent features and capabilities to withstand adverse and harsh climatic conditions, significantly replenish the soil, as well as provide protein and micronutrients. Adaptability to several stresses including drought makes them key to agriculture in areas receiving scanty rainfall. This comprehensive book disseminates significant information on the genetic diversity, cultivation, manipulation through mutagenic techniques, molecular biology and other breeding techniques. The book, therefore, is of importance to teachers, researchers and policymakers who are interested to acquire knowledge about moth bean, cowpea and horse gram. It also serves as an additional reading material for MSc and PhD students of agriculture and environmental sciences. The book is also useful to national and international agricultural scientists and policymakers.

Genetics: Analysis And Principles
by Robert J. BrookerIn the sixth edition of Genetics: Analysis & Principles, the content has been updated to reflect current trends in the field. In addition, the presentation of the content has been improved in a way that fosters active learning. As an author, researcher, and teacher, I want a textbook that gets students actively involved in learning genetics. To achieve this goal, I have worked with a talented team of editors, illustrators, and media specialists who have helped me to make the sixth edition of Genetics: Analysis & Principles a fun learning tool. <p><p> Overall, an effective textbook needs to accomplish four goals. First, it needs to provide comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date content in its field. Second, it needs to expose students to the techniques and skills they will need to become successful in that field. Third, an effective textbook should have pedagogical features, such as formative assessment, that foster student learn¬ing. And finally, it should inspire students so they want to pursue that field as a career. The hard work that has gone into the sixth edition of Genetics: Analysis & Principles has been aimed at achieving all four of these goals!
Genetics: Analysis and Principles
by Robert J. BrookerGenetics: Analysis and Principles is a one-semester, introductory genetics textbook that takes an experimental approach to understanding genetics. By weaving one or two experiments into the narrative of each chapter, students can simultaneously explore the scientific method and understand the genetic principles that have been learned from these experiments. The pedagogy of Genetics: Analysis & Principles has been designed to foster student learning. Instead of being a collection of facts and figures,this text is intended to be an engaging and motivating textbook in which formative assessment allows students to move ahead and learn the material in a productive way.

Genetics? No Problem!
by Kevin O'DellThe analysis and interpretation of data is fundamental to the subject of genetics and forms a compulsory part of the undergraduate genetics curriculum. Indeed, the key skills that a genetics student requires are an ability to design and understand experimental strategies and to use problem-solving skills to interpret experimental results and data. Genetics? No Problem! provides students with a graded set of problems that aim to enthuse, challenge and entertain the reader. The book is divided into three sections – introductory; intermediate and advanced – each with 10 problems. For first level students there will be short genetics problems embedded in a wide range of scenarios, such as murder mysteries. As the book progresses, the stories will get longer and the science will get progressively more complex to challenge final year students and enable the reader to identify genetic disease in obscure organisms as well as designing and testing treatments and cures. Genetics? No Problem!: Takes a unique, innovative approach that provides students with a set of graded problems designed to develop both their skills, and their ability to tackle problems with confidence Includes problems embedded in a narrative, written in an interesting, informative and entertaining style by an Author with a proven track record in teaching, research and communication Is well illustrated in full colour throughout. The book will prove invaluable to all students of genetics across a range of disciplines needing to get to grips with the analysis and interpretation of data that is fundamental to the subject.
