"The book contains 55 excellent papers by experts from several countries like Russia, India, China, Germany, Canada and Central Asia. Efforts have been made to cover all aspects of this plant with latest information on the subject.
The book has been divided into 12 sections covering various aspects. The first section on distribution and taxonomy deals with taxonomic relationships of seabuckthorn. Next section relates to flowering and embryology. Third section deals with experiences of introduction of seabuckthorn in a new region, and on the breeding, including mutagenesis breeding. Fourth section on genetics deals with Karyotypic analysis, and the development of seedless plants. Next section deals with tolerance of seabuckthorn to drought as well as frost conditions, besides nitrogen fixation and abscission. The section on propagation describes methodologies of seabuckthorn nurseries. Next section discusses the cultivation technologies. The section on diseases, pests and control measures deals with fungal diseases and pest problems and their control methods. Next section deals with environmental conservation.
The section on harvesting technologies, deals with difficulties in fruit harvesting and technologies and machines developed for fruit harvesting. The section on processing technologies has papers on processing of fruit for juice and oil, and flour production and on tea developed from seabuckthorn leaves. Last section relates to overall research on seabuckthorn in various countries, and on the invasive characteristics of seabuckthorn and its control measures.
