Large thick octavo, pp x, 534, very clean internally, limp covers, very slightly curled at the corners, a good sound copy. [Genetics and ecology ought to be complementary disciplines at the population level. This conviction underpins this integrative volume, which brings together geneticists and ecologists to confront the implications of the others' discipline for their own work. The book is divided into three sections: first 'Genes in Ecology', the influence of population genetics on our view of ecology; then 'Modules in Ecology', the use of molecular methods to investigate adaptive and ecolo...

Illustrated, large 8vo, pp 348, fore-edge foxed, also affecting the last few pages and the title page, slightly used internally, paperback, covers faded and a little worn. [From the library of Sir John Burnett, with his signature on the front cover. A distinguished academic career and a lifelong interest in fungi, botany and nature conservation made him the ideal champion for biological recording in the UK. He held that effective nature conservation could be achieved only if good quality information about species and their habitats was accessible to all who needed it - a belief that made him p...

Large thick 8vo, a few illustrations, pp xvi, 542,fore-edge slightly marked, paperback, very slight signs of wear to the covers, but overall a very good copy. {A heavy book - extra postage may be needed}. [A benchmark text, Developmental Genetics and Plant Evolution integrates the recent revolution in the molecular-developmental genetics of plants with mainstream evolutionary thought. It reflects the increasing cooperation between strongly genomics-influenced researchers, with their strong grasp of technology, and evolutionary morphogenetists and systematists who are more deeply rooted in comp...

8vo, pp xiv, 427, a few light pencillings in the text, tiny bumps to the lower corners, otherwise a very good copy. [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 ... View More...
Large 8vo, pp 228, paperback, a good copy. (Not illustrated). {The topics of agronomy, genetics and plant breeding are normally covered in separate volumes. This book provides a comprehensive text combing these areas. The book covers factors involved in, and the practice of, crop production together with details of the production of a number of world crops. There is coverage of the basis of inheritance and the principles of plant breeding and a series of exercises are included which cover the mathematical aspects of genetics and plant breeding. An elementary introduction to experimental design... View More...

A few text illustrations, small thick quarto, pp xxvi, 550, hardbound in original laminated boards, an exceptionally good copy. [Our requirement for plant breeders to be successful has never been greater. However one views the forecasted numbers for future population growth we will need, in the immediate future, to be feeding, clothing and housing many more people than we do, inadequately, at present. Plant breeding represents the most valuable strategy in increasing our productivity in a way that is sustainable and environmentally sensitive. Plant breeding can rightly be considered as one of ...
