Abstract

Dankzij hun biologische structuur hebben planten in miljoenen jaren tijd heel andere overlevingsstrategieën ontwikkeld dan mens en dier. Zij verbruiken weinig energie, reageren decentraal en herstellen snel. Stafano Mancuso laat op uiterst aanschouwelijke manier zien dat deze kwaliteiten te maken hebben met hun vorm en structuur. &#13;Planten produceren stoffen die ze gebruiken om het gedrag van dieren te misleiden. Met hun verfijnde wortelstelsel, met worteltoppen die de omgeving verkennen, verwerken zij informatie en geven die door aan andere planten. Het zijn geavanceerde, ontwikkelde sociale organismen en wetenschappers zijn keer op keer verbaasd over de ingenieuze strategieën die planten ontwikkelen om oplossingen te vinden voor veranderingen in hun leefwereld. &#13;In hun basale structuur zijn planten dermate geniaal, dat ze intussen toegepast worden als voorbeelden voor robotisering van onze samenleving. Als wij onze leefomgeving willen verbeteren en op ingrijpende veranderingen op onze planeet willen reageren, dan kan dat niet zonder ons te laten inspireren door de meest geavanceerde oplossingen uit de plantenwereld.

Abstract

Ze houden zich niet aan grenzen van botanische tuinen of parken, ze laten zich niet tegenhouden door muren of oceanen en ze blijven altijd op zoek naar nieuwe territoria. Heel veel planten waarvan wij nu menen dat ze bij ons landschap horen, zijn oorspronkelijk afkomstig uit verre oorden. &#13;On **Reizend groen** beschrijft botanica-pionier Stefano Mancuso de migratie van planten. Hij vertelt over zaden die zeereizen van duizenden kilometers overleven, van soorten die het beleg van Massada hebben meegemaakt of na duizenden jaren in de permafrost te hebben gesluimerd nog steeds kiemkracht hebben. Een verrassende reis door de tijd, waarbij steeds de nadruk ligt op de natuurlijke drang tot overleven en expansie.

Abstract

Rhythmic behaviour is quintessential to life itself. Advances in plant molecular biology, micro/nanotechnology and applied mathematics provide new tools for understanding how environmental signals and internal clocks regulate rhythmic gene expression and development, and how these signals are translated into physiological responses at various levels of structural organisation. This book reviews recent progress in assessing underlying mechanisms controlling plant circadian and ultradian oscillations, and their physiological implications for growth, development, and adaptive responses to the environment. It focuses on mechanisms and theoretical concepts at the level of the cell to the entire plant. Written by a diverse group of leading researchers, it will surely spark the interest of readers from many branches of science: from physicists and chemists wishing to learn about multi-faceted rhythms in plant biology, to biologists dealing with state-of-the-art modelling of such rhythmic phenomena.

Abstract

This second edition of a well-received book focuses on rhythmic behaviour in plants, which regulates all developmental and adaptive responses and can thus be regarded as quintessential to life itself. The chapters provide a timely update on recent advances in this field and comprehensively summarize the current state of knowledge concerning the molecular and physiological mechanisms behind circadian and ultradian oscillations in plants, their physiological implications for growth and development and adaptive responses to a dynamic environment. Written by a diverse group of leading researchers, the book will spark the interest of readers from many branches of science: from physicists and chemists wishing to learn about the multi-faceted rhythms in plants, to biologists and ecologists involved in the state-of-the-art modelling of complex rhythmic phenomena.  .

Abstract

In the last half century, because of the raising world population and because of the many environmental issues posed by the industrialization, the amount of arable land per person has declined from 0.32 ha in 1961–1963 to 0.21 ha in 1997–1999 and is expected to drop further to 0.16 ha by 2030 and therefore is a severe menace to food security (FAO 2006). At the same time, about 12 million ha of irrigated land in the developing world has lost its productivity due to waterlogging and salinity. Waterlogging is a major problem for plant cultivation in many regions of the world. The reasons are in part due to climatic change that leads to the increased number of precipitations of great intensity, in part to land degradation. Considering India alone, the total area suffering from waterlogging is estimated to be about 3.3 million ha (Bhattacharya 1992), the major causes of waterlogging include super- ous irrigation supplies, seepage losses from canal, impeded sub-surface drainage, and lack of proper land development. In addition, many irrigated areas are s- jected to yield decline because of waterlogging due to inadequate drainage systems. Worldwide, it has been estimated that at least one-tenth of the irrigated cropland suffers from waterlogging.

Abstract

This book addresses diverse aspects of signaling at all levels of plant organization, starting from single molecules; through vesicle recycling and organelles, dynamic actin cytoskeletons, and plant organs bending in response to sensory stimuli induced by abiotic cues such as gravity and light; up to the whole organism as related to its circadian clock or pathogen defense. Emphasis is placed on the integrative aspects of signaling, which foster our understanding of sensory and communicative plants in all their complexity.

Abstract

De Natie der Planten, zo stelt Stefano Mancuso, was en is de unieke en eeuwige macht op aarde. Zonder planten zou al het leven op aarde waarschijnlijk nooit bestaan hebben. Planten zijn al lang geleden een samenwerkingsverband met ons aangegaan, ook al merken wij daar niets van. Zo heeft de mens bijvoorbeeld door de domesticatie van granen zijn voedselproblemen grotendeels opgelost. Maar in ruil hebben graan, rijst en mais de kans gekregen om zich naar alle uithoeken van de wereld te verspreiden. Op toegankelijke en inspirerende wijze past Mancuso de Verklaring van de Universele Rechten van de Mens (1948) toe op het plantenrijk. Hij heeft de grondrechten van de plant opgesteld en in acht uitvoerig toegelichte artikelen beschreven. Bevlogen pleit hij, goed onderbouwd met nieuwe ontdekkingen en gegevens, voor de kracht van de plant en een bewustere manier van samenwerking tussen mens en natuur. Je hoeft geen bioloog of klimaatexpert te zijn om te begrijpen dat Mancuso’s 'De universele rechten van de plant' ons nog lang zal bezighouden.
