This paper describes a new initiative to provide information services in support of professionals, including legislators, that work in health, pharmacovigilance, the herbal and pharmaceutical industries or that undertake pharmaceutical research. The services are being designed to help these audiences to use plant names appropriately and navigate safely the rich information sources that already exist for medicinal plants. Input from the user community is sought to ensure that the services built meet practical needs and are sustainable.

The chili pepper is a spice and medicinal remedy used since ancient times by the American peoples who were the first to undertake the domestication of 5 species belonging to the genus Capsicum (Solanaceae): Capsicum (Solanaceae): Capsicum annuum, C. baccatum, C. chinense, C. frutescens e C. pubescens. After the sixteenth century the chili pepper became similarly popular in other continents and today the five species number many reference pod-types and over 3,000 varieties. The book describes their uses in the different spheres of cuisine (aromatic, spicy and colourful), medicine (antioxidant and digestive for internal use, rubefacient and anti-rheumatic for external use) and ornamentation (cut branches, floral compositions, border plants, splashes of colour).

n Arabidopsis Protocols internationally recognized experts offer a comprehensive collection of significant new methods for gene mapping, cloning, and reverse genetics, as well as updated standard protocols for work in Arabidopsis genetics and molecular biology. These time-tested methods range from techniques for the successful growing of Arabidopsis to strategies for gene cloning. The sections on genetics, transformation, and gene expression analysis will be especially helpful to scientists involved in mutant analysis or in producing and analyzing transgenic plants. In many cases, the protocols can also be applied to other plant species, with minor adjustments. Serving both experienced researchers and beginners in the field, Arabidopsis Protocols will immediately become the standard reference for laboratories working with Arabidopsis, the plant of choice to approach many fundamental questions in plant biology.

Michel Thellier schildert in diesem Buch, dass auch Pflanzen ein Gedächtnis besitzen und beantwortet die spannende Frage wann, wo und wie sie Informationen speichern können. Er vergleicht die Erinnerung der Pflanzen mit der von Menschen und Tieren. So manche unserer Vorstellungen geraten ins Wanken, wenn wir erfahren, wie Pflanzen Reize aus der Umwelt – Wind, Regen, Verletzung, Angriff von Pflanzenfressern oder von Schädlingen, elektromagnetische Strahlungen von Mobiltelefonen  – wahrnehmen und wie sie sogar darauf antworten durch Änderungen ihres Stoffwechsels und ihrer Entwicklung, mitunter sogar durch Bewegungen.  Auch wenn Pflanzen kein Nervensystem haben, können sie Erinnerungen speichern:  die Wiederholung eines Reizes verändert die Intensität der Antwort  oder der Reiz führt zum Speichern einer Information als ob die Pflanze «sich erinnern würde» vor Tagen oder manchmal auch vor Wochen schon einmal ein solches Signal empfangen zu haben. Der Autor Michel Thellier ist emeritierter Professor der Université de Rouen. Er ist gewähltes Mitglied der renommierten Académie des Sciences. .
