Radiation Effects in Materials. Chapter 6: Radioactivity in Food: Experiences of the Food Control Authority of Basel-City since the Chernobyl Accident
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)The contamination of our environment and of food with artificial radionuclides originates from several sources. First, nuclear powers spread contamination all over the Northern Hemisphere by carrying out more than 600 ... -
Radiation Effects in Materials. Chapter 1: Effects of Electron Irradiation Upon Absorptive and Fluorescent Properties of Some Doped Optical Fibers
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)A review of the recent studies of the effect of irradiating silica-based fibers doped with rare earths and metals by a beam of high-energy (β) electrons is presented. Of the review’s main scope are the attenuation spectra’ ... -
Plant Genomics. Chapter 6: MicroRNAs Sequencing for Understanding the Genetic Regulation of Plant Genomes
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous non-coding RNAs that play important regulatory roles in animals and plants by targeting mRNAs for cleavage or translational repression. Small RNAs are classified into different types by ... -
Plant Genomics. Chapter 10: Advances in Plant Tolerance to Biotic Stresses
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Plants being sessile in nature encounter numerous biotic agents, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, insects, nematodes and protists. A great number of publications indicate that biotic agents significantly reduce crop ... -
Plant Genomics. Chapter 11: Genomics of Salinity Tolerance in Plants
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Plants are frequently exposed to wide range of harsh environmental factors, such as drought, salinity, cold, heat, and insect attack. Being sessile in nature, plants have developed different strategies to adapt and grow ... -
