 | | Apiculture, the culture of bees, traditionally for honey, increasingly for crop pollination. | | | Domestication of plants is done in order to increase yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, ease of harvest, and to improve the taste and nutritional value and many other characteristics. | | | Plant breeding and genetics contribute immeasurably to farm productivity. |

| | List of domesticated animals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | To be considered domesticated, a population of animals must have their behavior, life cycle, or physiology systemically altered as a result of being under humans control for many generations. | | | The term domestic animal applies to domesticated animals that actually live in physical proximity to humans, such as pets and guard animals, or even food species kept very close, e.g. | | | to live on domestic food scraps and/or so their body heat can be used as 'stable heating'. |

| | Domestication: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Domestication |
| | Domesticated animals and plants are those species whose breeding and living conditions are under human control. | | | Domesticated species, when bred for tractability, companionship or ornamentation rather than for survival, can often fall prey to disease: several sub-species of apples or cattle, for example, face extinction; and many dogs with very respectable pedigrees appear prone to genetic problems. | | | While the process continues with plants (berryfruits, for example), it appears to have ceased with animals. |

| | The possibility that there had been an independent domestication of plants in northern North America was mentioned as early as 1924 (B. Smith 1987), and for some time evidence has indicated that the sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and sumpweed (Iva annua) were domesticated in eastern North America before the arrival of corn and beans from Mexico. | | | Other plants, such as May grass (Phalaris caroliniana), were being cultivated, but there is no evidence that they were domesticated (C. Cowan 1985). | | | Plants from northern North America are now used for their ornamental value in landscape plantings or in gardens both in North America and other parts of the world. |

| | List of poisonous plants: Information From Answers.com |
| | Some plants are poisonous in part and harmless otherwise (the leaf blades, not the stalks, of rhubarb are poisonous) or poisonous at one season and not at another (the very young poke, or pokeweed, shoot is sometimes cultivated as a green vegetable but the older plant is poisonous). | | | Poisonous principles may be found throughout the plant kingdom from bacteria and fungi to ferns and flowering plants. | | | Poisonous plants are usually avoided by animals unless the pasture is overgrazed. |

| | agron523:introduction |
| | Plant breeding is the intentional manipulation of genetic diversity to improve agricultural production. | | | Diverse plant germplasm is needed to meet changes in both "natural" and cultivated plant communities. | | | This informal categorization appears frequently in the plant breeding literature, because it conveys succinctly the relative utility of particular germplasm for contributing genes to "conventional" crop improvement. |

| | When the dieback fungus infects a plant's roots, the uptake of water and nutrients is restricted, causing the plant to 'die back'. | | | The disease is caused by several types of microscopic pathogen in the genus Phytophthora, which live in the soil and plant roots. | | | Often these plant communities, and the species that compose them, inhabit very specific habitat sites, either defined by their position in the landscape or the type of soil. |

| | Domesticated plants are the descendants of wild plants and the two are therefore closely related. | | | Ellstrand then describes what impact the hybridization between crops and their wild relatives has already had (e.g., evolution of weediness/invasiveness in the hybrids, the increased risk of extinction by hybridization if the wild plants are rare). | | | This book is important reading for those concerned with the development of agriculture in the future, and the standards that ought to be applied when new strains of crops are developed. |

| | The plants can grow seven feet tall, and they produce bumper crops of ten-inch pods that curve in different ways (think horns on Brahma bulls and Long-Horn cattle or antlers on Prong-horn antelope). | | | It is an early midseason variety, one that allows close planting (and thus high yields) because it produces few outer leaves. | | | Well-grown plants are robust and productive, and set good crops of juicy, red fruit. |
