Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. Contents Preface. 1. Progress of nuclear gene concept. 2. Development of plasma gene concept. 3. Evolutionary origin of organelle genomes. 4. Organelle genome size and shape. 5. Genetic properties of the Organelle genomes. 6. Inter Organelle DNA Transposition. 7. Inheritance of the Organelle Genomes. 8. Organelle genomes and male sterility. 9. Identification classification and diversification of cytoplasm. 10. Harnessing Neo Cytoplasmic interaction in cereal crops. 11. Exploitation of neo cytoplasmic interaction in vegetable crops. 12. Utilization of neo cytoplasmic interaction in commercial crops. 13. Manipulation of neo cytoplasmic interactions in oilseed crops. 14. Organelle genomes and host plant resistance. 15. Organelle transfer. Selected and suggested references for further reading. Annexure I. Genetics is the study of heredity and variation. The genes present in the nucleus and cytoplasm governs the heredity and variation. The nuclear x cytoplasmic interaction largely determines the phenotype apart from the environmental factors. Gregor Johann Mendel laid the foundation for the classical nuclear genetics. The science of organelle genetics began in 1908 with the discovery of variegation of leaf colour in 4 0 clock plant (Mirabilis Jalapa). This finding unveiled the role of chloroplast genome in heredity and variation for the first time in the world. The discovery of male sterility in flax and the possible role of mitochondrial genome in the expression of male sterility made a spectacular jump in agriculture. Knowledge of organelle genetics has paved the way for the sustained food and nutritional security through crop breeding. Our main objective in writing this text book has been to strength the knowledge of graduates and researchers in genetics and plant breeding. The quintessence of organelle genetics rests on the discovery of the presence of Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA) in chloroplasts and mitochondria. Now it is well understood that organelle genes are capable of executing both auto and hetero catalytic functions viz. replication and protein synthesis. Manipulation of the organelle genomes through conventional plant breeding has gained momentum during the 20 century. Twenty first century researches are eagerly anticipating about the impact of organelle transfer techniques in evolving high yielding lines. 168 pp. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Castor (Ricinus communis L.) belongs to monospecific genus Ricinus of Euphorbiaceae family and one of the most important non-edible oilseed crops grown in various countries throughout the World. Its chromosome number is 20(diploid). It is a sexually polymorphic monoceious species, protandrous and highly cross pollinated nature. Because of its hardiness, castor plays an important role in the economy of arid and semi-arid regions of the country. Castor is considered native to Ethiopian region of tropical East Africa and India. Castor seed contains 40-60% oil which is a non drying oil. It has great industrial utility as it is used for the manufacture of soaps, refined and perfumed hair oil, printing inks, varnishes, synthetic resins, carbon paper, lubricant, ointments, other cosmetics, processed leather etc. Castor oil is the source of sebacic acid which is used in the manufacture of nylon and vinyl resins. The oil has high viscosity and it remains steady at high as well as low temperature hence used as a lubricant in high speed engines.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Le ricin (Ricinus communis L.) appartient au genre monospécifique Ricinus de la famille des Euphorbiacées et constitue l'une des cultures oléagineuses non comestibles les plus importantes, cultivée dans divers pays à travers le monde. Son caryotype est de 20 chromosomes (diploïde). Il s'agit d'une espèce monoïque sexuellement polymorphe, protandre et à forte pollinisation croisée. En raison de sa rusticité, le ricin joue un rôle important dans l'économie des régions arides et semi-arides du pays. Le ricin est considéré comme originaire de la région éthiopienne de l'Afrique de l'Est tropicale et de l'Inde. La graine de ricin contient 40 à 60 % d'huile, qui est une huile non siccative. Elle présente une grande utilité industrielle, car elle est utilisée pour la fabrication de savons, d'huiles capillaires raffinées et parfumées, d'encres d'imprimerie, de vernis, de résines synthétiques, de papier carbone, de lubrifiants, de pommades, d'autres produits cosmétiques, de cuir transformé, etc. L'huile de ricin est la source de l'acide sébacique, utilisé dans la fabrication du nylon et des résines vinyliques. Cette huile présente une viscosité élevée et reste stable aussi bien à haute qu'à basse température, ce qui explique son utilisation comme lubrifiant dans les moteurs à grande vitesse. 92 pp. Französisch.…
