Kreuzungen zwischen verschiedenen Arten gibt es nicht nur im Tierreich (wie Maultier, Maulesel), sondern auch in hohem Ma?e bei den Holzgewachsen. Lange wurden die Hybriden aus den gangigen Geholzfuhrern ausgeklammert, obwohl sie so essentiell fur die Forstwirtschaft und den Gartenbau sind. Auf diesem Gebiet ist dieses Buch das einzige Werk, das die Erkennungsmerkmale aller 130 Hybridenarten sowie ihrer Eltern tabellarisch auflistet und vergleichend gegenuber stellt. Daher ist eine exakte Bestimmung, auch mit Hilfe des ausfuhrlichen Bildmaterials, garantiert. Jede Hybride wird in ihrer botanischen und forstwirtschaftlichen Bedeutung in einem begleitenden Text beschrieben. Tabellen mit charakteristischen Merkmalen erganzen die durchgehend farbigen Fotos von Blattern und Fruchten. Seinen aktuellen Bezug erhalt dieses Ubersichts- und Bestimmungsbuch durch seine einzigartige Auflistung und Darstellung aller Hybriden und ihrer Eltern. Es schlie?t eine wichtige Lucke in der gartenbaulichen und forstlichen Literatur, so dass es nicht nur die Bestimmung, sondern auch fur die Auswahl und Nutzung der Hybriden fur Aufgaben in der Land- und Forstwirtschaft zu Rate gezogen werden kann. Unverzichtbar fur jeden Botaniker, Forstwissenschaftler, Pflanzenzuchter und Studenten der Forstwissenschaft.

Genomics
Written by the successful author team of Sandy Primrose and Richard Twyman, Genomics: Applications in Human Biology is a topical book showing how the new science of genomics is adding impetus to the advances in human health provided by biotechnology. Written to provide the necessary overview of the subject, covering technological developments, applications and (where necessary) the ethical implications. Divided into three sections, the first section introduces the role of biotechnology and genomics in medicine and sets out some of the technological advances that have been the basis of recent medical breakthroughs. The second section takes a closer look at how biotechnology and genomics are influencing the prevention and treatment of different categories of disease. Finally the contribution of biotechnology and genomics to the development of different types of therapy is described, including conventional drugs, recombinant proteins and gene/cell therapies. References to appropriate sections in other two popular books, authored by Sandy Primrose and Richard Twyman, are included – Principles of Gene Manipulation and Principles of Gene Analysis and Genomics. Features several categories of boxed text, including history boxes (describing the origins and development of particular technologies or treatments), molecular boxes (featuring the molecular basis of diseases or treatments in more detail) and ethic boxes (which discusses the ethical implications of technology development and new therapies).
Metalloproteomics
Synthesizes the current knowledge in the field and provides new insights into medical applications Metalloproteomics is the large-scale study of metal-binding proteins. These proteins, which represent about one quarter of all the proteins in the Protein Data Bank, play important roles in all biological systems and all biological processes. Metalloproteomics provides the latest information on all major families of metal-binding proteins, including their structural, physico-chemical, and functional properties, enabling readers to better understand these proteins. Moreover, the book demonstrates how understanding the structures, properties, and functions of intracellular and extracellular metal-binding proteins may unlock the key to drug development for the treatment of a myriad of diseases. Written by Eugene Permyakov, an international expert and pioneer in the structural analysis of metal-binding proteins, the book offers Theoretical introduction to cation binding Broad range of methods for investigating the binding of different cations to proteins Characteristics of interactions of physiologically important cations of Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe, Mn, Co, Cu, Ni, Mo, W, Na, and K with proteins Detailed considerations of structural and physico-chemical properties of the metal-binding proteins Interactions of all other metal cations with proteins Interactions of different types of cations with nucleic acids Throughout the text, the author integrates principles of proteomics. In addition, detailed examples underscore the role metal-binding proteins play in health and medicine. Bringing together and analyzing all the latest findings, Metalloproteomics' scope and level of insight are unparalleled. It is recommended for biophysicists, biochemists, enzymologists, cell and molecular biologists, protein and peptide scientists, organic and bioinorganic chemists, and chemical biologists.
