A guinea pig's history of biology / par Endersby, Jim. Publication : [S.l.]: Harvard University Press, 2007 . 499 pages; , "Endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved," Darwin famously concluded The Origin of Species , and for confirmation we look to...the guinea pig? How this curious creature and others as humble (and as fast-breeding) have helped unlock the mystery of inheritance is the unlikely story Jim Endersby tells in this book. Biology today promises everything from better foods or cures for common diseases to the alarming prospect of redesigning life itself. Looking at the organisms that have made all this possible gives us a new way of understanding how we got here--and perhaps of thinking about where we're going. Instead of a history of which great scientists had which great ideas, this story of passionflowers and hawkweeds, of zebra fish and viruses, offers a bird's (or rodent's) eye view of the work that makes science possible. Mixing the celebrities of genetics, like the fruit fly, with forgotten players such as the evening primrose, the book follows the unfolding history of biological inheritance from Aristotle's search for the "universal, absolute truth of fishiness" to the apparently absurd speculations of eighteenth-century natural philosophers to the spectacular findings of our day--which may prove to be the absurdities of tomorrow. The result is a quirky, enlightening, and thoroughly engaging perspective on the history of heredity and genetics, tracing the slow, uncertain path--complete with entertaining diversions and dead ends--that led us from the ancient world's understanding of inheritance to modern genetics. 24 cm.

Plant biochemistry par Heldt, Hans-Walter. Publication : [S.l.] Academic Press 2005 . 630 p. , This fully revised translation of the world-renowned German edition covers the complete and modern knowledge of plant biochemistry. The book presents the topic in a concise and simplified manner so that students can digest the message and gain a basic knowledge of the entire field of plant biochemistry, from photosynthesis (the synthesis of natural plant products) to all kinds of genetic engineering with its many commercial applications. Topics include cell structure and function, lipid and polysaccharide metabolism, nitrogen fixation, phloem transport, synthesis and function of isoprenoids, phenylpropanoids and other secondary metabolites, plant growth regulation and development. Heldt provides a comprehensive description of photosynthesis, primary and secondary metabolism, the function of phytohormones and molecular engineering. The text covers research findings until the end of 2003 and identifies areas of future research. There are extensive references to the most recent scientific literature. * Illustrated with two-color diagrams and well designed metabolic schemes * Plant metabolism presented in the context of the structure and function of the plant * Many examples of commercial applications for the protection and quality improvement of harvest crops, plant breeding, and the production of raw materials for industrial use * Coverage of the latest research findings. 27 cm.

Plants, biotechnology and agriculture / par Murphy, Denis J. Publication : Wallingford, Oxfordshire, UK ; | Cambridge, MA CABI, 2011 . ix, 310 pages : , At a time when the world's food supplies are increasingly unable to meet the needs of a burgeoning population, there is significant diversity of opinion concerning the benefits and perceived dangers of the application of biotechnology to food production. This book provides the reader with a guide to plants as both organisms and resources. 25 cm. Date : 2011 Disponibilité : Exemplaires disponibles: La bibliothèque des sciences de l'ingénieur (1),

The Evolution of plants / par Willis,, K. J. Publication : [S.l.] : Oxford University Press, USA, 2002 . 392 p. ; , This is a broad but provocative examination of the evolution of plants from the earliest forms of life to the development of our present flora. Taking a fresh, modern approach to a subject often treated very stuffily, the book incorporates many recent studies on the morphological evolution of plants, enlivens the subject with current research on ancient DNA and other biomolecular markers, and places plant evolution in the context of climate change and mass extinction. It is written to be accessible to undergraduates, so, for example, geological time is discussed in terms of 'millions of years ago' as well as by the names of the ages, and English equivalents of plant names are prefered, e.g. seed plants (instead of gymnosperms), flowering plants (instead of angiosperms). 25 cm.

Toxic plants dangerous to humans and animals / par Bruneton, Jean. Publication : [S.l.] : Lavoisier, 2000 . 545 p. ; , Physicians, pharmacists and veterinarians who deal with accidental plant ingestions on a daily basis are largely ill-prepared to manage such cases. Reliable information is therefore scarce. "Toxic Plants" seeks to meet this need. Part 1 lists the common causes of plant induced incidents and accidents in humans. The risks are described, in particular those inherent to herbal drugs. Plant identification and medical treatment are discussed , as well as the specifics of animal poisoning, paying special attention to pets. Part 2 is a detailed discussion of the plant species, most frequently implicated. It includes the circumstances of the intoxication, symptoms, proposed treatment, toxic doses, and also elements of diagnosis, toxin identification and toxic mechanisms. This book contains more than 1300 literature references and the most recent statistics. Four dozen botanical families are classified alphabetically with over 350 plant species including 100 plant monographs and numerous illustrations. This highly educational tool gives a complete picture of the toxic potential of higher plants. 25 cm.
