Transgenic Plants and Crops
With contributions from nearly 130 internationally renowned experts in the field, this reference details advances in transgenic plant construction and explores the social, political, and legal aspects of genetic plant manipulation. It provides analyzes of the history, genetics, physiology, and cultivation of over 30 species of transgenic seeds, fruits, and vegetables. Stressing the impact of genetic engineering strategies on the nutritional and functional benefit of foods as well as on consumer...
FROM THE PREFACE: Many aspects of range development and improvement have been extensively researched in the United States and Canada since World War II. While this has resulted in a rather voluminous literature on this phase of range science, the data have remained widely scattered in various journals, bulletins, handbooks, and research reports. Although individual chapters in a limited number of textbooks have dealt with range improvements and closely related subjects, no known effort has previ...
Integrated Pest Management Systems and Cotton Production (Environment Science & Technology S.)
by Raymond E. Frisbie and etc.
Cotton has been a central focus in the development of integrated pest management (IPM), a scientific approach which systematically examines and uses all available production technologies to minimize pest damage. This book is the most complete and authoritative work on this subject, drawing together information on all the key IPM strategies that are applicable to cotton. Other topics include the development and use of pest models, quantitative sampling principles in cotton IPM, economic injury le...
Cotton stickiness is a worldwide contamination problem. Stickiness is caused by sugar deposits produced either by the cotton plant itself or, most commonly, by honeydew from insects feeding on the cotton, usually aphids and whiteflies. Sticky cotton can cause residue to build up on textile equipment, leading to losses in productivity and quality. Following a general overview of cotton stickiness, the authors evaluate various detection methods, including chemical tests and physical tests, and rev...

Sandstone Petroleum Reservoirs (Casebooks in Earth Sciences)
Sandstone Petroleum Reservoirs presents an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to the geology of sandstone oil and gas reservoirs. Twenty-two case studies involving a variety of depositional settings, tectonic provinces, and burial/diagenetic histories emphasize depositional controls on reservoir architecture, petrophysical properties, and production performance. An introductory section provides perspective to the nature of reservoir characterization and highlights the important questions tha...
