Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. Germination. 3. Energy economy. 4. Water relations. 5. Mineral nutrition. 6. Transport of metabolites. 7. Resistance to desiccation and frost. 8. Growth: progress and pattern. 9. Cell growth and differentiation. 10. Growth movements. 11. Morphogenesis and development. Index. This is a refreshingly new introduction to the growth and development of flowering plants. Unlike many present day texts, the authors have skillfully described the physiology of the whole plant and have avoided the detailed biochemistry of cellular metabolism. In line with this deliberate policy the authors have turned their attention to subjects such as water relations, solute movement, nutrition and energy balances of the developing plant. These themes lead on to a description of the plant s growth, growth movement, and morphogenesis. Such an approach inevitably omits consideration of major aspects of plant metabolism, more appropriately treated in an introduction to cellular physiology and biochemistry. Considerable skill has been shown in the excellent illustrations both in line and halftone which accompany the text. Botany and biology students will find the work lucid and in line with modern university courses.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Foreword. Preface. 1. Matrix theory. 2. Calculus of variations. 3. Transform methods. 4. Elliptic equation. 5. Linear and non linear programming. Index. This book has been written as a comprehensive text to satisfy the requirement of the new scheme in Advanced Mathematics (14ELD11) for the first semester M. Tech (Electronics Board) students of Visvesvaraya Technological University, Belagavi. The concept and fundamental procedures have been explained in a lucid manner and a wide variety of completely solved problems have been included, many problems are included along with their completely solved problems have been included, many problems are included along with their solutions. The other important features of this textbook are a list of formulae and previous year examination paper placed in appropriate section. I am sure that the students and faculty of M.Tech will find this book as a good learning material.

The book Principles of Molecular Biology has been designed according to the course of Honours and postgraduate level of different universities of India. It gives an extensive but brief coverage of the fundamentals of molecular biology. It describes in lucid language the molecular steps that cell use to relicate and repair DNA expression of genes, process and translate the coded information in mRNA and regulate protein synthesis. Silent features: Completely updated, latest information obtained from various sources. Simple and lucid language. Simple, well labeled and immaculate illustrations. Introductory chapter on Molecular biology. Chapter on methods to study macromolecules. Additional information to reason out various phenomena in boxes. Exhaustive glossary.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. Teaching botany to the students are very diverse, and in so far as the experience of successful teachers, they are worthy of careful consideration. As the overwhelming factor in successful teaching is the teacher, methods are of secondary importance. It is the purpose of the present work to contribute another suggestion as to the method of teaching botany to the students. The book, herewith presented, is dominated by Ecology, and also contains certain fundamentals of physiology that are naturally suggested. For the benefit of students, 206 illustrations have been included to understand the topics easily. The advantages which seem to overbalance this disadvantage are as follows: The study of the most evident life-relations of plants gives a proper conception of the place of plants in nature, a fitting background for subsequent more detailed studies. Such a view of the plant kingdom is certainly of the most permanent value to those who can give but a half year to botany, for the large problems of Ecology are constantly presented in subsequent experience, when details of structure would be forgotten. The work in Ecology herein suggested demands little or no use of the compound microscope, an instrument ill adapted to first contacts with nature. This book is intended to present a connected, readable account of some of the fundamental facts of botany, and may serve to give a certain amount of information. It seems to be true, nevertheless, that these facts represent the things best adapted for presentation in elementary work. Thanks are due to various members of the botanical staff of the Universities, who have been of great service in offering suggestions and in preparing illustrations. (jacket).

Soft cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 2nd Edition. The perishable nature of the fresh produce of vegetables for human consumption underlines the significance of the technique of processing. The second edition of Commercial Vegetable Processing edited by two food scientists from the University of California and the University of Georgia, contains illustrated contributions from the internationally renowned professionals. They are one synthesis of both theory and practice. The contributions cover the general principles and methods, microorganisms in relation to vegetable processing, tin, glass and plastic containers, vegetable dehydration, pickling and fermenting of vegetables, grades and standards, quality control, sanitation and waste management, composition and nutritive value of raw and processed vegetables, storage life and quality retention, nutrition labeling, computerized process control general principles and computers in food processing. In view of its authoritative text, it should be a useful book for all those engaged in vegetable processing industries.

Soft cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 2nd Edition. Contents: Vol. 1. Vegetables and Melons. Vol. II. Fruits and tree nuts. This book has been written with the purpose of covering all biological and physical aspects of the post harvest physiology of fruits and vegetables. Assembling a substantial amount of information from a wide variety of sources, the book is a compilation of knowledge pertaining to post harvest technology of fruits and vegetables. It expands, in comprehensive detail, on technology relating to maturity determination, harvesting, packing, post harvest treatments, controlled atmosphere storage, ripening and transportation. The book is in two volumes Vol. I is concerned with vegetables and Melons and Vol. II deals with fruits and Tree nuts. It covers handling of fruits and vegetables harvesting, microbial hazards in fruits and vegetables, transportation of fruits and vegetables, preservation of fruits and vegetables, drying fruits and vegetables, storage of fruits and vegetables, quality in fruits and vegetables, hygiene and sanitation, selling fruits and vegetables, and preparation for the fresh market. With pertinent information on such a matter of great relevance and importance, this book would be useful for researchers and students in post harvest technology, food science and technology plant and agricultural science.
