AGRICOLA

Provides citations to literature in agriculture and related fields that have been acquired by the National Agricultural Library and its cooperating institutions since 1970. Although production of these records in electronic form began in 1970, but the database covers materials dating from the 15th century to the present. The recordsdescribe publications and resources encompassing all aspects of agriculture and allied disciplines, including plant and animal sciences, forestry, entomology, soil andwater resources, agricultural economics, agricultural engineering, agricultural products, alternative farming practices, and food and nutrition. Currently, Books, etc., contains all records produced from 1970 to the present (683,760 records). Articles, etc., contains records produced from 1979 to the present (1,884,383 records).

AMS Agricultural Marketing Service - Standards

USDA quality standards are based on measurable attributes that describe the value and utility of the product. For example, Beef quality standards are based on attributes such as marbling (the amount of fat interspersed with lean meat), color, firmness, texture, and age of the animal, for each grade. Standards for each product describe the entire range of quality for a product, and the number of grades varies by commodity. There are eight grades for beef, and three each for chickens, eggs, and turkeys. On the other hand, there are 38 grades for cotton, and more than 312 fruit, vegetable, and specialty product standards.

Biotechnology For Agriculture

USDA supports the safe and appropriate use of science and technology, including biotechnology, to help meet agricultural challenges and consumer needs of the 21st century. USDA plays a key role in assuring that products produced using biotechnology are safe to be grown and used in the United States. Once these products enter commerce, USDA supports bringing these and other products to the worldwide marketplace.

Gene Index - DFCI Computational Biology and Functional Genomics laboratory

The promise of genome projects has been a complete catalogue of genes in a wide range of organisms. The sequencing of Expressed Sequence Transcripts (ESTs), fragments of genes that have been copied from DNA to RNA, provides the most comprehensive evidence for the existence of genes and their structure. The goal of The Gene Index Project is to use the available EST and gene sequences, along with the reference genomes wherever available, to provide an inventory of likely genes and their variants and to annotate these with information regarding the functional roles played by these genes and their products. In addition, we are attempting to use these catalogues to find links between genes and pathways in different species and to provide lists of features within completed genomes that can aid in the understanding of how gene expression is regulated.

GrainGenes 2.0 Database for triticeae and avena

GrainGenes is a genetic database for Triticeae, oats, and sugarcane, being assembled as part of the United States Department of Agriculture and National Agricultural Library's Plant Genome Program, initiated by Jerome P. Miksche and currently directed by Henry L. Shands. Kinds of information include: * genetic and cytogenetic maps, * genomic probes, nucleotide sequences, * genes, alleles and gene products, * associated phenotypes, quantitative traits and QTLs, * genotypes and pedigrees of cultivars, genetic stocks, and other germplasms, * pathologies and the corresponding pathogens, insects, and abiotic stresses, * a taxonomy of the Triticeae and Avena, * addresses and research interests of colleagues, * relevant bibliographic citations.

Louisiana Native Plant Society

LSU College of Agriculture

The primary mission of the college- teaching- is an integral part of the university’s land grant responsibilities. Many of the faculty of the college are jointly appointed with the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station or the Louisiana Cooperative Extension Service, the research and service arms of the LSU Agricultural Center. The relationship between teaching, research and service is a hallmark of the land grant system and an underlying aspect of the long-range plan for the College of Agriculture. The teaching programs in the college have evolved from a focus solely on production agriculture to a comprehensive array of program beginning with the production of food and fiber products to new technologies in the areas of environment, natural resources, nutrition, human resources, biotechnology, agribusiness, food quality, value added products, consumer science, quantitative science, and global competitiveness.

Soybase and the Soybean Breeder's Toolbox

The soybean genetics research community is comprised of scientists with expertise ranging from classical breeding to genomics and cell biology to gene discovery. It is the mission of the Soybean Genetics Executive Committee (SoyGEC) to advance soybean as a genetic and physiological research system that will result in enhanced availability and nutritional quality of the world's premier source of vegetable protein and oil.

The Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering

The Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering(CSAE) was founded in 1979 as a member of the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST), a country member of International Commission of Agricultural Engineering. Academic Activity Exchange, International Exchange, Popularization of Agricultural Engineering, Consultative Center of Agricultural Engineering and Youth Science and Technology . CSAE has approximately 10,000 individual members all over the country. Group, corresponding(foreign),honorable memberships are also available. In the meantime, local Societies were established in 23 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the leadership of the CSAE. It publishes the ,<Agricultural Engineering Technology >and . It also produces collections of agricultural engineering forum papers, and popular scientific pamphlets about agricultural engineering.
