        Plant Gene Silencing

        Mechanisms and Applications

        by Tamas Dalmay

        Plant gene silencing is a crucially important phenomenon in gene expression and epigenetics. This book describes the way small RNA is produced and acts to silence genes, its likely origins in defence against viruses, and also its potential to improve plants. Plant gene silencing can be used to improve industrial traits, make plants more nutritious or more valuable to consumers, to remove allergens, and to improve resistance to weeds and pathogens ; Chapter 1: Diversity of RNA silencing pathways in plantsChapter 2: Induction and suppression of silencing by plant virusesChapter 3: Artificial induction and maintenance of epigenetic variations in plantsChapter 4: Gene Silencing in Archaeplastida AlgaeChapter 5: Gene silencing in fungi: A diversity of pathways and functionsChapter 6: Artificial small RNA-based strategies for effective and specific gene silencing in plantsChapter 7: Application of RNA silencing in improving plant traits for industrial useChapter 8: Increasing nutritional value by RNA silencingChapter 9: RNA-based control of plant diseases: a case study with Fusarium graminearumChapter 10: Targeting nematode genes by RNA silencingChapter 11: Gene silencing provides efficient protection against viruses

        Gene Flow

        Monitoring, Modeling and Mitigation

        by Wei Wei, Neal Stewart

        Gene flow is a natural process that occurs spontaneously and enables the evolution of life. However, with the release of genetically modified organisms, concerns have focused on introduced foreign transgenes and their dispersal in nature through gene flow. This book examines gene flow of transgenes, such as herbicide resistance genes, with the goal of understanding the factors that may affect the process of gene flow. A greater biological understanding is essential to make sound management regulatory decisions when also taking into consideration the processes that happen in conventional plants. Monitoring, modelling, and mitigation are the three most closely related elements of gene flow. The book includes both scientific reviews and perspectives on gene flow and experimental case studies, including studies of gene flow in soybean and poplar. The authors present diverse views and research methodologies to understand transgene flow. This book: Focuses on applications of gene flow (monitoring, modelling, and mitigation); Includes both review chapters and case studies; Is written by international team of scientists currently working in gene flow. This book will be valuable for students and researchers in genetics, biotechnology, plant science, and environmental science. It also provides key insights of value to regulators of biotechnology as well as policy-makers.

        Roman

        by Erika Pluhar

        »Dass es nie zu spät ist, neuen Mut zu schöpfen, davon erzählt dieser Roman.« (ORF III) Henriette Lauber blickt auf ein schöpferisches und erfülltes Leben zurück: Als Cutterin von Kinofilmen konnte sie an der Seite ihres geliebten Mannes in spannende Welten eintauchen. Heute lebt sie allein in einer kleinen Wohnung in Wien, und all ihre Liebe gilt ihrem Patensohn aus der Westsahara. Eines Tages macht sie zufällig die Bekanntschaft ihrer jüngeren Nachbarin Linda. Zwischen den beiden Frauen entsteht ein reger Kontakt. Während Linda Henriette im Alltag hilft, erzählt diese ihr von ihrer Vergangenheit, von der Arbeit in der Filmbranche, den Reisen rund um den Globus und ihrer großen Liebe. Für Linda eröffnen sich neue Welten, und sie beginnt, ihr eigenes Leben zu hinterfragen ...Die Geschichte einer generationenübergreifenden Frauenfreundschaft und ein schonungsloser, aber ermutigender Blick auf das Älterwerden.

        Lyme Disease

        An Evidence-based Approach

        by John J Halperin

        This new edition of Lyme Disease provides up-to-date evidence-based research and covers the significant advances in our understanding of the disorders referred to as Lyme disease or Lyme borreliosis. This book explores the causative organism, its requisite ecosystem, disease epidemiology, host-Borrelia interactions, diagnostic testing, clinical manifestations, therapeutic options, the role of host immunity on pathogenesis and long term prognosis. The authors provide balanced perspectives on all aspects of Lyme disease and explicitly review both the basic biology of the infection and practical clinical aspects. This new edition: Includes new borrelial pathogens that have been identified (B. miyamotoi, B. mayonii and B. bavariensis among others). Provides updated information on the molecular biology of the organism, neuroborreliosis, and the role of the C6 peptide in diagnosis. Discusses the controversies about 'chronic Lyme disease', post Lyme disease syndrome and other ongoing but non-specific symptoms that have been attributed to this infection. As the endemic footprint of Lyme disease continues to grow, this book provides a broad and detailed guide for clinicians and researchers involved with the diagnosis and treatment of the condition. Covering biology, epidemiology and therapeutics, it is also essential reading for students of global health and infectious disease.

        Critical Philosophy of Race

        Ein Reader

        by Kristina Lepold, Marina Martinez Mateo

        Welche Art von Realität hat race? Welche Rolle spielen Wahrnehmungs- und Wissensformen bei ihrer Konstruktion? Was ist und wie funktioniert Rassismus? Das sind die zentralen Fragen, denen sich seit zwei Jahrzehnten das Forschungsfeld der Critical Philosophy of Race widmet, welches insbesondere in den USA wirkmächtige akademische und außerakademische Debatten angestoßen hat. Aber auch hierzulande ist die philosophische Beschäftigung mit race und Rassismus wichtig geworden, wie aktuelle Ereignisse und Diskussionen zeigen. Der Band stellt die noch junge Disziplin vor und präsentiert – zum Teil in deutscher Erstübersetzung – die einschlägigen Texte, u. a. von Kimberlé Crenshaw, Kwame Anthony Appiah, Tommie Shelby, Linda Martín Alcoff und Sally Haslanger.

        Lange Liebe

        Vom Glück des Zusammenbleibens | Das perfekte Hochzeitsgeschenk

        by Antonia Meiners

        Liebe, die ein Leben lang hält – alle träumen davon, nur wenigen ist sie vergönnt. Und doch hört man immer wieder von Paaren, denen dieses Glück gelungen ist. Ab der ersten Zigarette wie bei Helmut Schmidt und Loki, nach arrangierter Hochzeit im Falle von Friedrich Wilhelm III. von Preußen und Königin Luise, vereint durch gemeinsames Engagement wie bei Gertrude Stein und Alice B. Toklas, eins im Schreiben bei Christa und Gerhard Wolf, magisch-romantisch wie bei Paul und Linda McCartney. Wie lange Liebe gelingt? In diesem Buch wird es erzählt.

        Gene-for-Gene Relationship in Plant-Parasite Interactions

        by Edited by Ian R Crute, Eric B Holub, Jeremy J Burdon

        Genetics has transformed plant pathology on two occasions: first when Mendelian genetics enabled the discovery that disease resistance was a heritable trait in plants, and secondly when Flor proposed the “gene-for-gene” hypothesis to explain his observations of plant-parasite interactions, based on his work on flax rust in North Dakota starting in the 1930s. Our knowledge of the genetics of disease resistance and host-pathogen coevolution is now entering a new phase as a result of the cloning of the first resistance genes. This book provides a broad review of recent developments in this important and expanding subject. Both agricultural and natural host-pathogen situations are addressed. While most of the book focuses on plant pathology, in the usual sense of the term embracing fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens, there is also consideration of parasitic plants and a chapter demonstrating lessons to be learnt from the mammalian immune system. Three overall themes are addressed: genetic analyses and utilization of resistance; population genetics; and cell biology and molecular genetics. Chapters are based on papers presented at the British Society for Plant Pathology Presidential meeting held in December 1995, but all have been revised and updated to mid-1996. Written by leading authorities from North America, Europe and Australia, the book represents an essential update for workers in plant genetics, breeding, biotechnology and pathology.
