About this book

This book presents an important collection of new research that sheds new light on many aspects of the evolutionary patterns of gymnosperms, angiosperms, and pteridophtes. The book includes a new complete chloroplast genome sequence study, a method that induces the systemic silencing of target genes in the Ceratopteris gametophyte, a study of how herbicide treatments reduce fern densities and create the establishment of regeneration, an analysis of an EST dataset from G. biloba that reveals genes potentially unique to gymnosperms, a study of episodic rate acceleration in the ancestral grasses accompanied by adaptive molecular evolution, a comparison of DNA barcoding techniques, a new analysis of cycad ESTs that has uncovered conserved and potentially novel genes, a new look at the climate and vegetation in eastern North America during the Pleistocene and other regions, and much more.

Presently, she is Professor of Biology at Hazard Community & Technical College in the Appalachian Mountains of eastern Kentucky, where she specializes in human anatomy and physiology and plant sciences. She has also worked as an Adjunct Instructor of Biology at Union County College in New Jersey and at Rutgers University, as well as a certified high school biology teacher. While at Rutgers, she worked as a plant physiology researcher at their AgBiotech Center and held the same position for DNA Plant Technologies Corporation. She has given presentations at XXII International Conference on Horticultural Science, UC Davis, California, 1987; and 1997 International Society for Horticultural Science’s International Symposium on Artificial Lighting in Horticulture, Noordwijkerhout, Netherlands.
