Sommario/riassunto

With the discovery of RNAi pathways and the histone code, epigenetics has become a popular and fast evolving research topic. Plant science has made a number of elementary contributions to this field, and the common elements of epigenetic systems have linked research groups interested in plant, fungal and animal systems.This volume provides a comprehensive overview epigenetic mechanisms and biological



processes in plants, illustrating the wider relevance of this research to work in other plant science areas and on non-plant systems. It discusses recent advances in our knowledge

Sommario/riassunto

Chronicling the people, places, and events of the state's colorful history, Colorado: The Highest State is the story of how Colorado grew



up. Through booms and busts in farming and ranching, mining and railroading, and water and oil, Colorado's past is a cycle of ups and downs as high as the state's peaks and as low as its canyons. The second edition is the result of a major revision, with updates on all material, two new chapters, and ninety new photos.  Each chapter is followed by questions, suggested activities, recommended reading, a ""Did you know?"" trivia section, and recommended web
