Titre : Seed development, dormancy and germination Type de document : livre Auteurs : Bradford, K.J.(Ed.) ; Nonogaki, H.(Ed.) Mention d'édition : 01 éd. Editeur : Oxford : Blackwell Année de publication : 2007 Collection : Annual plant reviews, 27 Importance : 367 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4051-3983-0 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Development Dormancy Germination Seeds Résumé : The formation, dispersal and germination of seeds are crucial stages in the life cycles of gymnosperm and angiosperm plants. The unique properties of seeds, particularly their tolerance to desiccation, their mobility, and their ability to schedule their germination to coincide with times when environmental conditions are favorable to their survival as seedlings, have no doubt contributed significantly to the success of seed-bearing plants. Humans are also dependent upon seeds, which constitute the majority of the world's staple foods (e.g., cereals and legumes). Seeds are an excellent system for studying fundamental developmental processes in plant biology, as they develop from a single fertilized zygote into an embryo and endosperm, in association with the surrounding maternal tissues. As genetic and molecular approaches have become increasingly powerful tools for biological research, seeds have become an attractive system in which to study a wide array of metabolic processes and regulatory systems. Seed Development, Dormancy and Germination provides a comprehensive overview of seed biology from the point of view of the developmental and regulatory processes that are involved in the transition from a developing seed through dormancy and into germination and seedling growth. It examines the complexity of the environmental, physiological, molecular and genetic interactions that occur through the life cycle of seeds, along with the concepts and approaches used to analyze seed dormancy and germination behavior. It also identifies the current challenges and remaining questions for future research. The book is directed at plant developmental biologists, geneticists, plant breeders, seed biologists and graduate students Note de contenu : Hbk; En ligne : http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0619/2006026447.html Seed development, dormancy and germination [livre] / Bradford, K.J.(Ed.) ; Nonogaki, H.(Ed.) . - 01 éd. . - Oxford : Blackwell, 2007 . - 367 p.. - (Annual plant reviews, 27) .

Titre : Senescence processes in plants Type de document : livre Auteurs : Gan, Susheng (Ed.) Mention d'édition : 01 éd. Editeur : Oxford : Blackwell Année de publication : 2007 Collection : Annual plant reviews, 26 Importance : 332 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-4051-3984-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Aging Plants Senescence Résumé : The scientific and economic significance of plant senescence means that much effort has been made to understand the processes involved and to devise means of manipulating them agriculturally. During the past few years there has been considerable progress in this regard, especially in the molecular, genetic and genomic aspects. Senescence has a tremendous impact on agriculture. For example, leaf senescence limits crop yield and biomass production, and contributes substantially to postharvest loss in vegetable and ornamental crops during transportation, storage and on shelves. In addition, proteins, antioxidants and other nutritional compounds are degraded during senescence. Senescing tissues also become more susceptible to pathogen infection, and some of the pathogens may produce toxins, rendering food unsafe. Mitotic senescence may also determine sizes of leaves, fruits and whole plants. This volume summarizes recent progresses in the physiology, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, and biotechnology of plant senescence. Beginning with a chapter on senescence-related terminology and our current knowledge of mitotic senescence in plants (a less well-studied area), the book focuses on post-mitotic senescence, and includes chapters addressing the senescence of leaves, flowers and fruits. Later chapters examine the development of various new biotechnologies for manipulating the senescence processes of fruit and leaves, some of which are approaching commercialization. The book is directed at researchers and professionals in plant molecular genetics, physiology and biochemistry.
