        Erkenne Deinen Wert & Du wirst nie wieder das Gefühl in Deinem Leben haben, dass Du zu kurz kommst. "IM LEBEN GIBT ES KEINE LANDKARTE, DIE DIR DEN WEG WEIST, KEIN SCHILD, DAS DIR AUSKUNFT GIBT. ES GIBT NUR DIE STIMME DEINES HERZENS, DIE DICH FÜHRT."   In meinem Buch "Jeder kann in einer erfüllten Partnerschaft leben. #einePortionLiebe" unterstütze ich meine Leser dabei, die Ursache Ihrer Themen zu identifizieren und diese loszulassen, so dass sie ihre Herzensstimme wieder hören. Es wird ein Entwicklungsprozess in Gang gesetzt. Mit jeden Schritt, den meine Leser hierbei wagen, finden sie zurück in die Wertschätzung ihres Lebens. Schritt für Schritt wachsen sie in die Erfüllung und Freude an ihrem Sein, so dass sie ihr wahres Potenzial, auf allen Lebensebenen wieder entdecken und ausleben.     Alles im Leben beginnt mit einer Entscheidung.   Meistens zeigen sich die Themen, an denen man wachsen darf, durch immer wiederkehrende Themen, die sich wie ein roter Faden durch sein Leben ziehen. Dies zeigt sich dann  u.a. darin, dass man anfängt, sich wertlos zu fühlen und sich hinter seinem äußeren Erfolg versteckt, ohne dabei innere Erfüllung zu finden.   Dahinter stecken Ursachen, die einem die Tür zu seinem Herzen verschließen. Ich nenne sie auch gerne innere Saboteure. Sie kreieren einem immer wieder die Situationen, von denen man in seinem Inneren überzeugt, ist wert zu sein, und einem die Bestätigung geben, dass man auch weiter so denkt. Denn man zieht immer das in sein Leben, was man aussendet. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Man kann beruflich alles haben und doch innerlich unzufrieden und nicht erfüllt sein, wenn man in sich selber nicht zugesteht, dass man auch Freude an seinem Erfolg haben darf.   Die gute Nachricht ist, dass man zu jeder Zeit aus dieser Spirale heraustreten kann, um  sich das Leben zu kreieren, dass einem Erfüllung und Freude in allen Lebensbereichen schenkt. Nur manchmal kommt man nicht alleine aus dieser Spirale heraus, und man fühlt sich wie ausgebremst. Denn durch mein Buch begleite ich meine Leser über ihre Grenze hinaus zum Kern der Ursache, so dass sie sich von ihrer Blockade befreien. Sie beginnen die Lebensfreude zurück in ihr Leben hinein zu lassen und die Möglichkeiten erkennen, um ein erfülltes Leben aus ihrem Herzen heraus zu führen.     Also hab den Mut & erkenne Deinen Wert, dass auch Du ein erfülltes Leben auf allen Ebenen zu führen kannst. Denn hier liegt das wahre Seelenglück verborgen.   Finde Deine persönliche Work-Life-Balance, die zu Deinem Leben passt und nicht zu dem der anderen.   Du wirst durch mein Buch erkennen:   - wie Du eine gemeinschaftliche Partnerschaft voller Liebe, Respekt & Toleranz aufbaust - welchen Einfluss die Entwicklung der heutigen 0-Fehler Gesellschaft auf die erlebte Partnerschaftsqualität hat. - wie du dich aus der Opferrolle in deinem Leben befreist. - warum es sich lohnt, an eine erfüllte Partnerschaft zu glauben. - wie Du Dich aus der Funktionspirale Deines Alltages befreien kannst. - wie Du Deinen Liebeskummer & Herzschmerz überwindest und in Deine innere Mitte zurück findest. - wie Du die Hindernisse in deiner Partnerschaft überwindest und diese nachhaltig mit Liebe füllest. - wie du Angst in Liebe umwandelst. - wie Du Dein Selbstbewusstsein stärkst- und vor allem wirst Du wieder lernen, Dich selber zu lieben. - wie wichtig es ist, seinen eigenen Wert zu kennen. - wie Du über Selbstliebe Deine gesamte Partnerschaft bzw. Situation, in der Du Dich gerade befindest, verändern kannst. - dass alles, was Du selber glaubst und wie Du über Dich denkst, Dir stets durch Dein Außen gezeigt wird. - dass Dir ein anderer immer nur mit so viel Liebe und Wertschätzung entgegengehen kann, wie Du selber bereit bist anzunehmen. Du bekommst nie mehr und auch nicht weniger. - dass nur, wenn Du Deine eigenen Grenzen wahrst, andere diese Grenzen einhalten können. - was Du wirklich in Deinem Leben möchtest.   ***Je liebevoller Du mit Dir selber umgehst, umso mehr werden es auch andere tun und Deinen Wert erkennen.***

        Seed Biology and the Yield of Grain Crops

        by Dennis B Egli

        The food supply to an expanding world population is based on grain crops, i.e. crops harvested for their seeds. Therefore, understanding the process of seed growth and its regulation is crucial in our efforts to increase production, in order to meet the needs of that population. Yield is determined by the ability of crop plants to use their assimilatory processes such as photosynthesis and also the biosynthetic processes in the seed, which are partly regulated within the seed itself. This book examines the determination of grain crop yield from a new and unique perspective, by concentrating on the influence of the seed. All aspects of seed growth and development are described, including environmental and genetic effects on growth rate and length of filling period. The effect of the seed on the two main yield components, individual seed weight and number of seeds per unit area, is then discussed. Finally, the concepts and models developed are evaluated in terms of crop management. The book is essential reading for those concerned with seed science and crop yield, including agronomists, crop physiologists, plant breeders, and extension workers. It will also be a valuable source of information for lecturers and graduate students of agronomy and plant physiology.

        by Dennis B Egli

        This new edition of an established title examines the determination of grain crop yield from a unique perspective, by concentrating on the influence of the seed itself. As the food supply for an expanding world population is based on grain crops harvested for their seeds, understanding the process of seed growth and its regulation is crucial to our efforts to increase production and meet the needs of that population. Yield of grain crops is determined by their assimilatory processes such as photosynthesis and the biosynthetic processes in the seed, which are partly regulated within the seed itself. Providing a timely update in this field and highlighting the impact of the seed on grain crop yields, this book: · Describes all aspects of seed growth and development, including environmental and genetic effects on growth rate and length of the filling period. · Discusses the role of the seed in determining the two main yield components: individual seed weight and number of seeds per unit area. · Uses the concepts and models that have been developed to understand crop management and yield improvement. Substantially updated with new research and further developments of the practical applications of the concepts explored, this book is essential reading for those concerned with seed science and crop yield, including agronomists, crop physiologists, plant breeders, and extension workers. It is also a valuable source of information for lecturers and graduate students of agronomy and plant physiology. ; This is a new edition of an established title examines the determination of grain crop yield from a unique perspective, by concentrating on the influence of the seed itself. ; Chapter 1: IntroductionChapter 2: Seed Growth and DevelopmentChapter 3: Seed Growth Rate and Seed-Fill Duration: Variation and Regulation.Chapter 4: Yield Components-Regulation by the Seed Chapter 5: The Seed, Crop Management, and YieldChapter 6: The Way Forward

        Gac Fruit: Advances in Cultivation, Utilisation, Health Benefits and Processing Technologies

        by Minh Nguyen, Tuyen Chan Kha

        Gac fruit, Momordica cochinchinensis Spreng, is rich in nutrients such as carotenoids (particularly beta-carotene and lycopene), fatty acids, vitamin E, polyphenol compounds and flavonoids. This book provides the latest research on this fruit, from cultivation through to processing technologies for health products. It addresses several techniques on propagation and cultivation in order to increase the production and quality of Gac fruit, including traditionally used parts of the fruit (aril) and those whose value has not yet been maximized (peel, pulp and seed). This plant has the potential to be a high value crop, particularly as parts of the fruit can be processed into nutrient supplements and/or natural colorants. It has an exceptional potential in the world carotenoids market of about US$ 1.4 billion (2017), which will be growing steadily, up to US$ 6.9 billion by 2026. As such, this book contains special emphasis on: · Improving production of Gac fruit · Novel extraction of Gac oil rich in beta-carotene and lycopene from aril and peel. · Encapsulation of Gac oil rich in beta-carotene and lycopene. Practical applied technologies such as microwave drying, heat pump drying, freeze drying, ultrasound assisted extraction, supercritical CO2 extraction, encapsulation techniquesare all presented. This is an essential reference text for academics, researchers and graduate students in cultivation, food processing, science and nutrition. Product developers in health food areas in the food industry will also find it valuable.

        Seed Dispersal and Frugivory

        Ecology, Evolution and Conservation

        by Edited by Douglas J Levey, Wesley R Silva, Mauro Galetti

        Until recently, the production of fruits by plants, their consumption by animals (frugivory) and the relevance of these to seed dispersal have attracted less attention than topics such as pollination biology. However, since the 1970s they have started to gain more prominence and now give rise to more research funding, seminal papers and international symposiums. This book contains chapters adapted from the Third International Symposium-Workshop on Frugivores and Seed Dispersal held in August 2000 in Rio Quente, Brazil.

        Handbook of Phytonutrients in Indigenous Fruits and Vegetables

        by Dharini Sivakumar, Michael Netzel, Yasmina Sultanbawa

        The effects of inadequate diets on the population include malnutrition, non-communicable diseases and obesity. 'Hidden hunger', also known as micronutrient deficiencies, leads to various health-related disorders and diseases. Indigenous plants, in the form of indigenous fruits and leafy vegetables are gaining interest as a source of nutrients and bioactive phytochemicals, satisfying both food demand and health needs. Moreover, with the impact of climate change, and the importance of sustainability of food systems, it is essential that we investigate new, forgotten and alternative crops that can thrive in harsh conditions, require low fertilizer input, and are easily harvestable. This book contains chapters on 33 understudied indigenous fruits and vegetables from all around the world, including African nightshade, amaranth, baobab fruit, Indian gooseberry, red bush apple and snake melon. Each chapter provides: An overview of plant botany. An understanding of the phytonutrient constituents and health-promoting properties of bioactive compounds or metabolites. Information on the biological activity of the functional compounds that will improve productivity and increase utilization of indigenous fruits and vegetables to sustain food security. Impacts of postharvest storage, processing, and traditional food preparation methods. Potential for new product development. This is an essential resource for academic researchers and industry professionals in the fields of horticulture, agriculture, crop science, human health and nutrition.

However, one can only conclude that our edible fruits form a less understood which so far has benefit little for us, except for a few species such Durian, Pineaple, Banana, Langsat. Nangka. Nangka cultivated in the Malay village orchards or in small holdings. We depend so much on imported fruits. So much so, our indigenous fruits are left in the forest, under developed, vunerable and facing extinction.

        Concepts for Understanding Fruit Trees

        by Theodore M. DeJong

        Anyone who observes fruit trees may wonder how or why they behave in specific ways. Some trees grow upright whilst others are more spreading in habit. Some produce many flowers and small immature fruit only to drop most of the fruit later on; others grow more on their sunny side than their shady side. It is common to ascribe such behavior to the tree as a whole and state that trees preferentially "allocate" resources to specific organs. However, this is the wrong approach to understanding tree functioning and behavior. Trees are not in control of what they do. What trees do and how they function is shaped by the individual organs that make up the tree, not by the tree as a whole. The genetic code only indirectly determines the habit, structure and behavior of a tree by defining the behavioral and functional limits of the component organs, tissues and cells. Unlike animals that have a mechanism for collective control of the whole organism - a central nervous system - trees (and plants in general) are more appropriately considered as collections of semi-autonomous organs. These organs are dependent on one another for resources, such as water, energy and nutrients, but control their own destiny. This book presents a clear set of integrative concepts for understanding the overall physiology and growth of temperate deciduous fruit trees. The emphasis is on overarching principles rather than detailed descriptions of tree physiology or differences among the numerous species of fruit trees. Although the focus is on deciduous fruit trees many aspects apply to evergreen fruit trees and trees that grow naturally in unmanaged situations. Highly relevant for students and researchers in pomology, horticulture and plant sciences, the book is also suitable for practitioners, extension staff, and novice fruit tree growers.
