Book Description
When one is privileged to participate long enough in a professional capacity, certain trends may be observed in the dynamics of how challenges are met or how problems are solved. Agricultural research is no exception in view of how the plant sciences have moved forward in the past 30 years. For example, the once grand but now nearly forgotten art of whole plant physiology has given way almost completely to the more sophisticated realm of molecular biology. What once was the American Society of Plant Physiologists’ is now the American Society of Plant Molecular Biology; a democratic decision to indemnify efforts to go beyond the limits of the classical science and actually begin to understand the underlying biological basis for genetic regulation of metabolic mechanisms in plants. Yet, as new technologies open windows of light on the inner workings of biological processes, one might reminisce with faint nostalgia on days long past when the artisans of plant physiology, biochemistry, analytical chemistry and other scientific disciplines ebbed and waned in prominence. No intentional reference is made here regarding Darwinism; the plant sciences always have been extremely competitive. Technology is pivotal. Those who develop and/or implement innovative concepts typically are regarded as leaders in their respective fields. Each positive incremental step helps bring recognition and the impetus to push a scientific discipline forward with timely approaches to address relevant opportunities.

Book Description
With eight outstanding reviews on cutting-edge advances in the crop and soil sciences, this volume emphasizes environmental quality and biotechnology. The connections between agricultural practice and environmental impact are addressed in chapters on sewage sludge, dissolved organic matter, and metals and pyrolysis-mass spectrometry of soil organic matter. Also among this collection are reviews on USDA's plant genome project, DNA markers, and peanut genetics and breeding. With this latest volume, Advances in Agronomy continues to be recognized as a prolific and first-rate reference by the scientific community. In 1993 Advances in Agronomy increased its publication frequency to three volumes per year, and will continue this trend as the breadth of agronomic inquiry and knowledge continues to grow.Key Features* Synchrotron X-ray techniques* USDA plant genome program* Pyrolysis-mass spectrometric analysis of soil organic matter* Dissolved organic carbon and metal sorption by soils* DNA markers in plant breeding* Sewage sludge amended agricultural land* Peanut breeding and genetics* GIS in agricultural systems

Book Description
Discusses composition, processing technologies, and utilization of oilseeds, including current developments in their processing into oil, protein products, and other byproducts. Major crops covered include soybean, rapeseed, sunflower, peanut, oil palm, cotton, coconut, safflower, sesame, corn, and rice. Minor oilseeds covered include niger, olive, mango kernel, poppy, cocoa beans, shea, hemp, grape seed, perilla, and Chinese vegetable tallow. Many unexploited sources of oil and many non-edible oilseeds are also explored. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
