"These books present a comprehensive coverage of issues facing wheat production globally. The authors represent the top scientists involved in the diverse areas that are important for sustainable wheat production and will this book provides an excellent resource for those interested in wheat improvement and production." Dr Hans-Joachim Braun, Director Global Wheat Program and CRP Wheat, International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), Mexico Wheat is the most widely cultivated cereal in the world and a staple food for around 3 billion people. It has been estimated that demand for wheat could increase by up to 60% by 2050. There is an urgent need to increase yields in the face of such challenges as climate change, threats from pests and diseases and the need to make cultivation more resource-efficient and sustainable. Drawing on an international range of expertise, this collection focuses on ways of improving the cultivation of wheat at each step in the value chain, from breeding to post-harvest storage. Volume 1 reviews research in wheat breeding and quality traits as well as diseases and pests and their management. Chapters in Part 1 review advances in understanding of wheat physiology and genetics and how this has informed developments in breeding, including developing varieties with desirable traits such as drought tolerance. Part 2 discusses aspects of nutritional and processing quality. Chapters in Part 3 cover research on key wheat diseases and their control as well as the management of insect pests and weeds. Achieving sustainable cultivation of wheat Volume 1: Breeding, quality traits, pests and diseases will be a standard reference for cereal scientists in universities, government and other research centres and companies involved in wheat cultivation. It is accompanied by Volume 2 which reviews improvements in cultivation techniques.

Diseases remain a serious problem in wheat and barley cultivation. It has been estimated that around 20% of global crop production is lost to diseases. Leading fungal diseases affecting wheat and barley include rusts, Septoria blotches, powdery mildew, tan spot, spot blotch, net blotch, scald and Fusarium species. Conventional control using fungicides faces a number of challenges such as increasing regulation and the spread of fungicide resistance. This collection sums up the wealth of research addressing this challenge. Part 1 reviews the latest research on understanding the main fungal diseases of cereals. Part 2 discusses key challenges in integrated disease management of wheat and barley. These challenges include developing new fungicides, the problem of fungicide resistance, breeding disease-resistance varieties, improving disease identification and the use of natural antifungal compounds. With its distinguished editor and international team of expert authors, this will be a standard reference for cereal scientists in universities, government and other research centres and companies involved in wheat cultivation.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 1999 im Fachbereich Padagogik - Heilpadagogik, Sonderpadagogik, Note: 1,0, Eberhard-Karls-Universitat Tubingen (Sozial- und Verhaltenswissenschaften 08), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Erziehung konstituiert sich erst in der Begegnung mit dem anderen Menschen, in der Sozialitat einer gemeinsamen Welt. In Anlehnung an phanomenologische Grundgedanken, die in der folgenden Arbeit einen breiten Raum einnehmen, ist Hintergrund der Uberlegungen die Lebenswelt, vor der sich die Fremdheit abhebt. Die Frage nach der "Fremdheit in der Gemeinsamkeit" impliziert allgemein, dass die Fremdheit der Grund ist, warum keine wirkliche Begegnung oder Beziehung zwischen Menschen - und erst recht kein erzieherisches Verhaltnis zum Kind mit schwer(st)er Behinderung, dessen "Anderssein" sich zur Fremdheit steigert - stattfinden kann. Gemeinhin findet Beziehung statt unter "Bekannten," ist Begegnung moglich zu dem Menschen, der mir ahnlich und vertraut ist. Es bietet sich daher an, diese Fremdheit genauer zu betrachten, die von ihr ausgehenden Schwierigkeiten - und vielleicht auch Moglichkeiten - aufzuzeigen, zu bewerten und Schlusse fur (sonder)padagogisches Denken und erzieherisches Handeln zu ziehen. Es ist vor allem von Interesse, wie mit der Fremdheit umgegangen wird und welche Konsquenzen daraus fur ein erzieherisches Verhaltnis zu ziehen sind. Dies geschieht anhand philosophisch-padagogischer Theorien: der Phanomenologie, der Ethik nach LEVINAS und des Personalismus. Diese sind in Reaktion auf die unabdingbare Einsamkeit in der Existenz des in seiner Basishaltung resignierend-pessimistischen Existentialismus entstanden und haben somit gemeinsame Wurzeln aufzuweisen. Anhand eines ausgewahlten Konzeptes (basale Stimulation) zur Forderung von Kindern, die gemeinhin als schwer(st)behindert bezeichnet werden, wird herausgefiltert, welcher Umgang mit den Irritationen des "anderen" Weltverhaltens darin enthalten ist. In diesem Zusammenhang wi
