Flora of Cultivated WheatThis volume opens the valuable resource to a larger international research community of wheat breeders, geneticists, taxonomists, germplasm conservators, and other researchers who work with wheat. It is the most current monographic treatment of the genus Triticum. As a tradi-tional treatment, its broad scope includes detailed descriptions of wild and domesticated wheat distributions, unique cultivar names, morphologi-cal characterizations, and important agronomic information. The Wheat Flora, a unique publica-tion for one of the world’s most important grain crops, was originally published in Russian in 1979. It documents distributions and agronomic infor-mation that has not otherwise been published. The original Russian publication was initiated under the leadership of the Russian scientist Nikolai Vavilov, who established the modern science of domesticated plant origins. The Wheat Flora is of historical value for its compilation of informa-tion on wheat that are no longer extant except in Herbarium collections.

Features 7 First systematic description of the genus Triticum in English 7 Includes detailed descrip-tions of wild and domesticated wheat distribu-tions 7 Useful for phenotypic identification of wheat material

The Cognitive Neuroscience of MetacognitionMetacognition is the capacity to reflect upon and evaluate cognition and behaviour. Long of interest to philosophers and psychologists, metacogni-tion has recently become the target of research in the cognitive neurosciences. By combining brain imaging, computational modeling, neuropsychol-ogy and insights from psychiatry, the present book offers a picture of the metacognitive functions of the brain. Chapters cover the definition and measurement of metacognition in humans and non-human animals, the computational underpin-nings of metacognitive judgments the cognitive neuroscience of self-monitoring ranging from confidence to error-monitoring and neuropsychi-atric studies of disorders of metacognition. This book provides an invaluable overview of a rapidly emerging and important field within cognitive neuroscience.

Features 7 The first up to date and comprehensive volume on metacognition (thinking about thinking) 7 This book introduces a new era of research into metacognition 7 Metacognition is one of the hottest topics discussed by cognitive scientists

Gene Network InferenceVerification of Methods from Systems Genetics Data

This book presents recent methods for Systems Genetics (SG) data analysis, applying them to a suite of simulated SG benchmark datasets. Each of the chapter authors received the same datasets to evaluate the performance of their method to better understand which algorithms are most useful for obtaining reliable models from SG datasets. The knowledge gained from this benchmarking study will ultimately allow these algorithms to be used with confidence for SG studies e.g.

Features 7 Describes and evaluates recent methods for System Genetics data analysis 7 Critically evalu-ates various algorithms used to analyze Systems Genetics data 7 Put together in a community effort by the experts in the field

The World’s ChallengeFeeding 9 Billion people

If a global population of 9 billion by 2050 is to be fed adequately, more food must be produced and this in keeping with increasingly stringent standards of quality and with respect for the en-vironment. Not to mention the land that must be set aside for the production of energy resources, industrial goods, carbon storage and the protec-tion of biodiversity.

Features 7 In this work, the heads of two leading French agricultural research organisations, INRA and CI-RAD, shed light on the issue in terms that are clear and accessible to the public at large 7 The reader will find a wealth of information, thought provok-ing insight and some surprising solutions 7 This book presents how a global population of 9 billion by 2050 could be fed adequately, in keeping with increasingly stringent standards of quality and with respect for the environment
