Plant parasitic nematodes are a main pest to crops. For ex am pie,
the root-knot nematodes belonging to the genus Meloidogyne are
worldwide in their distribution and attack almost every type of
crop, causing considerable losses of yield and affecting quality of
produce. The cyst nematodes within the genera Globodera and
Heterodera constitute a major group of plant pathogens in many
countries throughout the world, suppressing yields of potato, sugar
beet, soybean and cereals. Several nematodes such as longidorids
and trichodorids are implicated in the transmission of numerous
plant viruses. Many others cause constraints to agricultural
production either locally or on large areas. However, despite their
economic importance (they account for worldwide crop reduction in
excess of 10%), plant parasitic nematodes are still poorly
understood, because most of them are obligate parasites of roots.
Environmental concerns over the agricultural use of pesticides
demand the development of alternative measures to control them. To
achieve environmentally sound control, knowledge of the basic
biology of nematodes must be expanded. Important research areas
include understanding the molecular bases for pathogenicity, the
molecular mechanisms of the host parasite interactions and the
genetic bases for population fluctuations. The workshop has, for
the first time, brought together an international group of
researchers using molecular approaches to study plant parasitic
nematodes and their host responses."
From the internationally bestselling author of "After the Party"
comes a delightfully funny, brilliantly poignant novel about three
strangers who are brought together by the father they never knew.
Lydia, Dean and Robyn don't know one another. Yet. Each is facing
difficult challenges. Lydia is still wearing the scars from her
traumatic childhood. Wealthy and successful, she leads a lonely and
disjointed existence. Dean is a young, unemployed, single dad whose
life is going nowhere. Robyn is eighteen. Gorgeous, popular and
intelligent, she entered her first year of college confident of her
dream to become a pediatrician. Now she's failing her classes. Now
she's falling in love for the first time.
Lydia, Dean and Robyn live very different lives, but each of them,
independently, has always felt that something was missing. What
they don't know is that a letter is about to arrive that will turn
their lives upside down. It is a letter containing a secret--one
that will bind them together and show them what love and family and
friendship really mean.
"So good that I practically inhaled it," praised the "Daily Mail
"(London). "The Making of Us "is a literary gem that will remind
readers of the miracles that happen when we bring life into the
world and share our lives with those we love.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Star Trek: Discovery:
Desperate Hours comes an original, thrilling novel set in the
universe of Star Trek: The Next Generation! The past returns to
haunt Captain Jean-Luc Picard-a crime he thought long buried has
been exposed, and he must return to Earth to answer for his role in
a conspiracy that some call treason. Meanwhile, the U.S.S.
Enterprise is sent to apprehend pirates who have stolen vital
technology from a fragile Federation colony. But acting captain
Commander Worf discovers that the pirates' motives are not what
they seem, and that sometimes standing for justice means defying
the law....
The crews of Jean-Luc Picard, Benjamin Sisko, Ezri Dax, and William
Riker unite to prevent a cosmic-level apocalypse-only to find that
some fates really are inevitable. THEIR MOST DAUNTING MISSION WILL
BE THEIR FINEST HOUR. The epic Star Trek: Coda trilogy comes to a
shattering conclusion as the Temporal Apocalypse forces Starfleet's
greatest heroes to make the greatest sacrifices of their lives.

The beloved trilogy, together in one novel. In Gods of Night,
blitzkrieg attacks by the Borg leave entire worlds aflame. No one
knows how they are slipping past Starfleet's defences, so Captain
Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the Enterprise have to find out-and
put a stop to it. In Mere Mortals, the Borgs have found a secret
passage through subspace and are using it to attack the Federation.
But the passage is one of many that the Enterprise crew finds
inside a nebula, and Captain Picard and Captain Ezri Dax must find
the right one-and lead a counter strike to stop the impending Borg
invasion. In Lost Souls, an armada of several thousand Borg cubes
has wiped out a fleet of ships sent by the Federation and its
allies. But the Collective's goal this time isn't assimilation-it's
extermination. Destruction or salvation-only one can be her final
Destiny.

The Taurus Reach: the source of a secret that has driven the great
powers of the 23rd century to risk everything in the race to
control it. Now four new adventures—previously untold tales of
the past and present, with hints of what is yet to come—begin the
next great phase in the Vanguard saga. Witness the dawn of Starbase
47, as Ambassador Jetanien faces choices that will shape the future
of Operation Vanguard. Follow journalist Tim Pennington as he
reaches a crossroads in his search for the truth. See how the
crises on two colonies transform the lives of Diego Reyes and Rana
Desai. And travel with Cervantes Quinn to a deadly confrontation
that will change everything—all in one unforgettable Star Trek
collection.
'In every revolution, there is one man with a vision.' Those
prophetic words were spoken by Captain James T. Kirk to Commander
Spock of the Terran Empire, hoping to inspire change -- but he
could not have imagined the impact his words would have. Armed with
a weapon of terrifying power and a vision of a noble Federation
within the mirror universe, Spock seizes control of the Terran
Empire and institutes the process of democratic reform. Rivals
within the Empire try to stop him while enemies outside it unite to
destroy it. Few suspect the shocking truth: that Spock is purposely
engineering the downfall of his dominion. Have the burdens of
imperial rule undermined his sanity? Or is this the logical plan of
a man who understands that freedom must always be paid for in
blood? But Spock alone knows that the fall of the Terran Empire
will be the start of a political chain reaction -- one that will
alter the fate of the universe forever.
No law...no conscience...no mercy. Amoral, shrouded in secrecy, and
answering to no one, Section 31 is the mysterious covert operations
division of Starfleet, a rogue shadow group pledged to defend the
Federation at any cost. The discovery of a two-hundred-year-old
secret gives Doctor Julian Bashir his best chance yet to expose and
destroy the illegal spy organization. But his foes won't go down
without a fight, and his mission to protect the Federation he loves
just end up triggering its destruction. Only one thing is for
certain: this time, the price of victory will be paid with Bashir's
dearest blood.
The mystery of the Taurus Reach is about to be revealed in this
third novel from the acclaimed Vanguard saga, based on Star Trek:
The Original Series! Ancient secrets lie on the fourth planet of
the Jinoteur system, and three great rivals are fighting to control
it. The Federation and the Klingon Empire want to wield its power;
the Tholian Assembly wants to bury it. But the threat stirring on
that distant world is more dangerous than they realize. The Shedai,
who ruled the Taurus Reach aeons ago, have risen from their ages of
deathlike slumber to gather, marshal their strength, and take their
revenge. To keep Jinoteur from falling into enemy hands, the crews
of Starbase Vanguard and the U.S.S. Sagittarius must risk
everything: friends...loved ones...their own lives. But the
sacrifices they make may prove too terrible for them to bear.
IN THE MIRROR UNIVERSE . . . Miles "Smiley" O'Brien struggles to
hold together his weary band of freedom fighters in their war
against the overwhelming might of the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance.
Each day pushes the rebels on Terok Nor one step closer to defeat,
but with nowhere left to run, the time has come to make their last
stand. Light-years away, Mac Calhoun and his Romulan allies harass
Klingon forces with devious hit-and-run attacks. But Calhoun has a
grander ambition: he intends to merge his fleet with the Terran
Rebellion and lead it to victory-or die trying. Meanwhile, a bitter
feud threatens to shatter the Alliance from within. The old rivalry
between the Klingons and the Cardassians erupts into open warfare
as each vies for the upper hand in their partnership. Manipulating
events from its hidden redoubts, Memory Omega-the secret operation
initiated by Spock a century earlier-sees its plans come to
fruition sooner than expected. But striking early means risking
everything-and if the revolution fails, Spock's vision for the
future will be lost forever.
