McDonald, M. B., and W. D. Pardee (Eds.), The Role of Seed Certification in the Seed Industry. Published by the Crop Science Society of America. Paperback, 1985.46 pp. $12.00. This booklet contains 9 articles on the importance of seed certification; these are the proceedings of a symposium sponsored by the Crop Society of America. The articles deal with the role of seed certification in the seed industry, the early history of seed certification (1900-1970), the current status of seed certification in the seed industry, seed certification: a seed-control officialâs views, an international view of seed certification, a seedmanâs views of seed certification, a plant breederâs view of seed certification, a farmerâs views of seed certification and seed certification in the next 10 years - a seedmanâs view. The concise and always informing treatment of the theme makes it avaluable and interesting reading. G. GEISLER. Kiel McDonald, M. B., and C. J. Nelson (Eds.), Physiology of Seed Deterioration. Published by the Crop Science Society of America. 1986. No. 11. Paperback, 123 pp. $ 18.00. The book gives the results of a symposium sponsored by the Crop Science Society of America. The articles deal with precepts of successful seed storage, membrane changes in seeds as related to germination and the perturbations resulting from deterioration in storage, nucleotide alterations during seed deterioration, nucleic acid and protein metabolism during seed deterioration, microorganism and seed deterioration and quantifying seed deterioration. The chapters are completed by a list of references. Everybody interested in questions dealing with seed deterioration should not neglect to make himself familiar with the content of this instructive set of papers. G. GEISLER, Kiel Tamasi, J.: Root location of fruit-trees and its agrotechnical consequences. 1986. AkadCmiai Kiado, Budapest. Hardcover, 200 pages, 133 plates and figures, 61 tables. DM 49,-. The book is based on investigation into root systems under field conditions. The author describes a very large material which is presented as observations of root systems. The roots are excavated for the observation and description. Numerous plates illustrate this work. There are several methods applied: âmonolith methodâ and âskeleton methodâ contribute most of the material. The book contains - as general part and introduction - chapters on structure of root systems, factors acting on root growth, growth rhythms of root systems, regeneration ability of root systems, salt tolerance of root systems of fruit trees, frost resistance of root systems in fruit trees, natural factors modifying the formation of the root system and agrotechnical factors modifying the root system. The specific part of the book deals with root systems of apple trees, pear trees, cherry trees, apricot trees, plum trees, peach trees and walnut trees. The description of the root trees gives information on morphology, development, root distribution in the soil and on the branching pattern. The book comprises a huge information on root systems of fruit tree species which developed under different environmental conditions, a material of unique value. G. GEISLER, Kiel
