Sommario/riassunto

This volume presents detailed reviews on biochemistry, classical genetics and traditional breeding, germplasm diversity, molecular genetics, tissue culture, biotechnology, and structural and functional genomics of ten major seed spices including ajwain, anise, celery, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, fenugreek, Nigella and parsely. The seed



spices include the most ancient crops of the world being cultivated for thousands of years as spices, condiments and herbal medicines. Besides adding attractive flavor and taste, seed spices are used as preservatives, and preventive and curative phytomedicines. Despite the immense importance of these crops and their multipurpose utilities, there is no comprehensive compilation of the information on genetics, genomics and breeding in these crops. The present book fills up that gap in literature. This book is useful to the students, teachers and scientists in the academia and relevant scientists interested in genetics, genomics, breeding and genetic engineering and also crop production, pathology, physiology, of seed spices. This book is also useful to the seed companies and industries engaged in long-term preservation, essential oil-based products and pharmaceuticals.

Sommario/riassunto

This book charts the contributions made to the development of the late medieval English economy by enterprise, money, and credit in a period which saw its major export trade in wool, which earned most of its money-supply, suffer from prolonged periods of warfare, high taxation, adverse weather, and mortality of sheep. Consequently, the economy suffered from severe shortages of coin, as well as from internal political conflicts, before the plague of 1348-9 halved the population. The book examines from the Statute Merchant certificates of debt, the extent to which credit, which normally reflects economic activity, was affected by these events, and the extent to which London, and the leading counties were affected differently by them. The analysis covers the entire kingdom, decade by decade, and thereby contributes to the controversy whether over-population or shortage of coin most inhibited its development. .
