Completely updated and revised, this bestselling book continues to explain the growth and developmental processes involved in the formation of vegetables. Since the publication of the successful first edition significant discoveries, particularly in the area of molecular biology, have deepened and broadened our knowledge and understanding of these processes. This new edition brings the topic up-to-date and is presented over two sections: the first provides general knowledge on germination, transplanting, flowering, the effects of stress and modelling, whilst the second section details the physiology of specific crops or crop groups.
Postharvest Physiology and Biochemistry of Fruits and Vegetables presents an updated, interrelated and sequenced view of the contribution of fruits and vegetables on human health, their aspects of plant metabolism, physical and chemical/compositional changes during the entire fruit development lifecycle, the physiological disorders and biochemical effects of modified/controlled atmospheres, and the biotechnology of horticultural crops. The book is written specifically for those interested in preharvest and postharvest crop science and the impact of physiological and biochemical changes on their roles as functional foods. - Deals with the developmental aspects of the lifecycle in whole fruits - Describes issues, such as the morphology and anatomy of fruits, beginning with the structural organization of the whole plant and explaining the fruit structure and its botanical classification - Addresses biotechnological concepts that control firmness, quality and the nutritional value of fruits
Plant anatomy is the study of the internal structure of plants. It often involves sectioning of tissues and microscopy, to study plants at the cellular level. Plant anatomy is divided into structural categories such as root anatomy, stem anatomy, wood anatomy, leaf anatomy, fruit/seed anatomy and flower anatomy. The study of the external structure and physical form of plants is known as plant morphology. It is useful in the visual identification of plants. Plant morphology studies the reproductive and vegetative structures of plants. It examines the pattern of development along with the process by which structures originate and mature when a plant grows. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to plant anatomy and morphology. It strives to provide a fair idea about these disciplines and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within these fields. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
The present book, Botany of Vegetable Crops, is different from other books on vegetable crops. It contains 12 chapters with emphasis on major vegetable crops like Tomato, Chili, Eggplant, Brinjal, Okra, Bhindi, Water melon, Bottle gourd, Bitter gourd, Cucumber, Ridge gourd, Sponge gourd, Cabbage and Coriander. It discusses on the morphology and anatomy of a few common vegetable plants. Morphological characters help in identifying the plant. It also gives an idea of the different adaptive modifications in the plant. It even mirrors the habitat, the climatic conditions under which it can be cultivated. The anatomical studies of each of the vegetable plant are also being presented here as we believe the morphological characters alone cannot project the adaptations in the plant. They can better be understood when supplemented with the anatomical characteristics unique to individual type of crop. Glossary added in this book can help readers to understand some related terminologies and to bring clarity of the content. We expect that this book would be of great help to a student of plant sciences, to a research scholar for reference and a good source of information, to a plant breeder, and to the scientist community as well.
