All meat has been grass. This statement of the old Greeks is still
valid and thus plants contribute to the needs of a growing world
popula tion. Their other key role for human life is reflected by
their photosynthetic activity. Intensive agriculture reduces the
carbon diox ide content of the atmosphere. The improvements of
cultivated plants towards stable yields and desired quality
characteristics are the sub jects of plant breeding. Here, an
introductory picture of the present state of this topic in research
and application is given. The senior author, H. Kuckuck, wrote the
first edition in 1939 as a small German booklet, hence the nickname
little cuckoo (Kuckuck = Engl. cuckoo). During the last 6 years
(the fifth German edition appeared in 1985) again numerous results
of basic research have found practical application, making
extensive additions neces sary. Further, it seemed timely to change
to the international language of science: English. For help in
translation we are grateful to Silke Kluth and Kathy Seaman. Since
agricultural sciences - like all others - have become more
specialized, we were happy to welcome D. Baringer (Sect. 5.4), W.
Hondelmann (Sects. 4.4, 4.5, and 6), V. Stoy (Sect. 4.2), and T.
Thtlioglu (Sects. 2.3.1.4 and 3.5) as contributors to this edition.
Finally, we would like to thank Springer-Verlag for all their
efforts in helping to transform a small German booklet into a book
available to a wider audience."
Successful release of new and better crop varieties increasingly
requires genomics and molecular biology. This volume presents basic
information on plant molecular marker techniques from marker
location up to gene cloning. The text includes a description of
technical approaches in genome analysis such as comparison of
marker systems, positional cloning, and array techniques in 19 crop
plants. A special section focuses on converting this knowledge into
general and specific breeding strategies, particularly in relation
to biotic stress. Theory and practice of marker assisted selection
for QTL, gene pyramiding and the future of MAS are summarized and
discussed for maize, wheat, and soybean. Furthermore, approaches in
silviculture on the examples of Fagus, Populus, Eucalyptus, Picea
and Abies are presented. The volume ends with a comprehensive
review of the patents relevant for using molecular markers and
marker assisted selection.
Schmerz stellt ein Bio-Psycho-Soziales System dar. Im Sinne
einer ganzheitlichen Therapie wird auch von interdisziplinarer
Schmerztherapie gesprochen. Vor allem Patienten mit chronischen
Schmerzen mochten neben der klassischen Schulmedizin uber
alternative Methoden informiert werden. Dieses Buch liefert Ihnen
dazu einen profunden Uberblick. Nach Informationen zur
Schmerzentstehung und Placebo-Effekt stellen die Autoren
ausfuhrlich Naturheilverfahren wie Traditionelle Chinesische
Medizin, psychotherapeutische Verfahren, physikalische und andere
haufig verwendete Methoden vor, u.a. Musiktherapie, Akupressur,
medizinische Trainingstherapie."
