Book Description
Faced with widespread and devastating loss of biodiversity in wild habitats, scientists have developed innovative strategies for studying and protecting targeted plant and animal species in "off-site" facilities such as botanic gardens and zoos. Such ex situ work is an increasingly important component of conservation and restoration efforts. Ex Situ Plant Conservation, edited by Edward O. Guerrant Jr., Kayri Havens, and Mike Maunder, is the first book to address integrated plant conservation strategies and to examine the scientific, technical, and strategic bases of the ex situ approach. The book examines where and how ex situ investment can best support in situ conservation. Ex Situ Plant Conservation outlines the role, value, and limits of ex situ conservation as well as updating best management practices for the field, and is an invaluable resource for plant conservation practitioners at botanic gardens, zoos, and other conservation organizations; students and faculty in conservation biology and related fields; managers of protected areas and other public and private lands; and policymakers and members of the international community concerned with species conservation.

Book Description
Commissioned by the World Wide Fund for Nature and IUCN - The World Conservation Union as part of their joint endeavor of "building the capacity to conserve," this work by David R. Given elucidates the concepts that underlie successful conservation efforts. Drawing on his own work and involving international collaboration, the author also presents a large number of real-life case studies that illustrate the principles of conservation in action. Chapters are devoted to the natural - and unnatural - causes of plant rarity and endangerment, and the management of plant populations in natural habitats, in modified landscapes, and off-site to preserve germplasm. Going beyond the biology of conservation, other chapters are devoted to the ethical, educational, and economic aspects of plant conservation. Cyrille de Klemm, an expert on international law, has contributed a chapter on conservation legislation.

Book Description
Objective Seed Science and Technology is prepared based on the ICAR UG syllabus of Seed Science and Technology. This book is the compilation of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) in Seed Science and Technology which will be highly useful in writing competitive examinations like ASRB, NET, JRF, SRF, Ph.D entrance, Bank, UPSC, Agricultural, Horticultural and Seed Certification Officers. The 2nd revised Edition comprises two sections namely 1. Seed Science and Technology: Principles and Practices, and 2. Advances in Seed Physiology and Biochemistry. The section 1 consists of eight units such as floral and seed biology, seed production including breeding methods, seed processing, seed quality control, seed storage, seed health, seed industry and marketing and protection of plant varieties including DUS. The section 2 consists of three units namely seed development and maturation, seed dormancy and germination, and seed deterioration. Each chapter includes Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), fill in the blanks, true or false, match the following, answer the incorrect statement, arrange in order and differentiate between the following. Abbreviations, National and International journals and books, International STLs, Seed Scientists and their inventions and glossaries are also compiled and presented in this book

Genetics and Conservation of Rare Plants
Author : Donald A. Falk
Publisher : Oxford University Press, USA
Page : 302 pages
File Size : 43,79 MB
Release : 1991
Category : Plant conservation
ISBN : 0195064291
Book Description
Nearly 700 species of plants may become extinct by the year 2000. Faced with this overwhelming prospect, plant conservationists must take advantage of every technique available. This unique work summarizes our current knowledge of the genetics and population biology of rare plants, and integrates it with practical conservation recommendations. It features discussions on the distribution and significance of genetic variation, management and evaluation of rare plant germplasm, and conservation strategies for genetic diversity. Case studies focusing on specific problems offer important insights for today's challenges in rare plant conservation.
Heirloom Seeds and Their Keepers
Author : Virginia D. Nazarea
Publisher : University of Arizona Press
Page : 208 pages
File Size : 20,41 MB
Release : 2014-11-21

ISBN : 0816531633
Book Description
Through characters and stories that offer a wealth of insights about human nature and society, Heirloom Seeds and Their Keepers helps readers more fully understand why biodiversity persists when there are so many pressures for it not to. The key, Nazarea explains, is in the sovereign spaces seedsavers inhabit and create, where memories counter a culture of forgetting and abandonment engendered by modernity. A book about theory as much as practice, it profiles these individuals who march to their own beat in a world where diversity is increasingly devalued as the predictability of mass production becomes the norm.
