Marlana Portolano investigates the impact of John Quincy Adams's oratorical campaigns on the origins of government-funded science in America, with a special focus on his classical theory of rhetorical engagement and civic duty. 606 $aEloquence$vCase studies 606 $aScience$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aScience and state$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1815-1861 607 $aUnited States$xIntellectual life$y1783-1865 615 0$aEloquence 615 0$aScience$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aScience and state$xHistory. 615 0$aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 676 $a973.5/5092 700 $aPortolano$b Marlana$01805885 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910968628903321 996 $aThe passionate empiricist$94354751 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04539nam 22006255 450 001 9910983376903321 005 20250209115231.0 010 $a9783031786532 010 $a303178653X 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-78653-2 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31900402 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31900402 035 $a(CKB)37498910100041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-78653-2 035 $a(OCoLC)1499720288 035 $a(EXLCZ)9937498910100041 100 $a20250209d2025 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aBreeding of Ornamental Crops: Annuals and Cut Flowers /$fedited by Jameel M.

Breeding of Ornamental Youth-and-Age Flower (Zinnia spp.). 330 $aFlowers and other ornamental plants are used for all occasions to meet consumers demands preferably novel flowers traits, e.g., fragrance, flower color and shape, early flowering, less water consumption, long shelf-life. The worldwide floricultural industry is worth over 50 billion Euros and can serve as a ?food security?, socio-economic impact, and generate employment. Ornamental industry is regarded as one of the fastest growing farm industries. This industry is sustained through novelty, thus there is increasing demand on plant breeders in both public and private sectors to fulfil consumer?s needs. Biotechnological approaches such as genetic transformation, genomics, nanotechnology, and gene editing are well suited for designing custom-made novel traits of flowers benefiting both ornamental and cosmetic industry. Moreover, micropropagation is well exploited commercially for large-scale plant production along with vertical and digital farming, and artificial intelligence especially by the floriculture industry. This book focuses on advances in breeding strategies of diverse range of ornamental plants. It consists of 2 parts, Part I Flowering annuals and Part II Cut flowers. Each chapter, contributed by eminent authors, is devoted to an individual ornamental species or a group of related species. It provides an in depth understanding of modern breeding strategies including traditional methods and biotechnological approaches. Topics covered in each chapter, in relation to the subject species, include current cultivation practices and challenges, germplasm biodiversity and conservation, traditional breeding, molecular breeding, tissue culture applications, genetic engineering and gene editing, mutation breeding, hybridization, and future research directions. Major concepts are illustrated with color photos. 410 0$aAdvances in Plant Breeding Strategies,$x3004-8745 ;$v6 606 $aBotany 606 $aGenetics 606 $aPlant biotechnology 606 $aPlant Science 606 $aGenetics and Genomics 606 $aPlant Biotechnology 615 0$aBotany. 615 0$aGenetics. 615 0$aPlant biotechnology. 615 14$aPlant Science. 615 24$aGenetics and Genomics. 615 24$aPlant Biotechnology. 676 $a580 700 $aAl-Khayri$b Jameel M$0908236 701 $aJain$b Shri Mohan$01589017 701 $aWani$b Muneeb Ahmad$01784295 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910983376903321 996 $aBreeding of Ornamental Crops: Annuals and Cut Flowers$94315972 997 $aUNINA
