R3,242 Discovery Miles 32 420 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Biological literature of the Roman imperial period remains somehow 'underestimated'. It is even quite difficult to speak of biological literature for this period at all: biology (apart from medicine) did not represent, indeed, a specific 'subgenre' of scientific literature. Nevertheless, writings as disparate as Philo of Alexandria's Alexander, Plutarch's De sollertia animalium or Bruta ratione uti, Aelian's De Natura Animalium, Oppian's Halieutika, Pseudo-Oppian's Kynegetika, and Basil of Caeserea's Homilies on the Creation engage with zoological, anatomic, or botanical questions. Poikile Physis examines how such writings appropriate, adapt, classify, re-elaborate and present biological knowledge which originated within the previous, mainly Aristotelian, tradition. It offers a holistic approach to these works by considering their reception of scientific material, their literary as well as rhetorical aspects, and their interaction with different socio-cultural conditions. The result of an interdisciplinary discussion among scholars of Greek studies, philosophy and history of science, the volume provides an initial analysis of forms and functions of biological literature in the imperial period.

The protein molecule is the basic building block of every living entity. Its deficiency leads to restricted growth and development of individuals. Globally, such malnutrition is on the rise due to various reasons such as rapid population growth, stagnation of productivity, and ever-rising costs. Millions of people, especially in developing and under-developed countries, suffer from protein malnutrition and the only possible solution is to encourage farmers to grow high-protein food legume crops in their fields for domestic consumption. This, however, could be possible if farmers are provided with new cultivars with high yield, and resistance to major insects, diseases, and key abiotic stresses. The major food legume crops are chickpea, cowpea, common bean, groundnut, lentil, pigeonpea, and soybean. Predominantly, the legume crops are grown under a subsistence level and, therefore, in comparison to cereals and horticultural crops their productivity is low and highly variable. The crop breeders around the globe are engaged in breeding suitable cultivars for harsh and changing environments but success has been limited and not up to needs. With the recent development of new technologies in plant sciences, efforts are being made to help under-privileged farmers through breeding new cultivars which will produce more protein per unit of land area. In this book, the contributors analyze the constraints, review new technologies, and propose a future course of crop breeding programs in seven cold and warm season legume crops.

Plant Disease Management requires a basic knowledge about the disease causing organism, whether fungi, bacteria, viruses, Mycoplasma or any other microorganisms. In this book 'Illustrated Plant Pathology--Basic Concepts', the authors have covered: Detailed account of the various pathogenic microorganisms responsible for causing diseases. Their classification, life cycle, mode of survival, spread and infection, factors responsible for epidemics, physiological specialization of pathogens. Disease surveillance, assessment of disease intensity, methods of disease control, plant protection chemicals, plant protection appliances and other aspects, which may go a long way in adopting suitable measures to combat the diseases. Management of seed-borne, soil borne and foliar diseases, use of plant products in disease management and biological approaches in disease management have also been dealt with. Numerous illustrations have also been given to make the text easily understandable. Though intended for the students of Agriculture, the book will be highly useful for the people working in the Department of agriculture and to the elite public who are interested in scientific agriculture.
