Mail order brides of the future travel from Earth to an icy planet to meet the alien men of their dreams. This boxed set contains all four books of the Alien Mate series: Alien Mate (book 1); Alien Attraction (Book 2), Alien Intention (Book 3) and Alien Mischief (Book 4). Alien Mate I’m Starr Elizabeth Conner. Earth’s government falsely convicted me and sent me to Dakon, a primitive, frozen planet. They can send me, but I refuse to become a barbarian’s “mail-order bride,” even if he is tall, muscular, and the chief of his tribe. I am Torg. With this shipment of females, I was sure to get a fine, sturdy mate who’ll bear me many daughters. Instead, I receive a small, curvy, pale-haired female who looks at me with anger and fear. It is only when we “kiss” that I believe things may work out between us. But now rumors say Starr and her shipmates are law-breakers. The penalty for breaking the rules is exile. Just when I have found her, will I have to send my mate away? Alien Attraction I’m Sunny Weathers. You probably recognize me from my reality show, Sunny Weathers’ Excellent Adventures. I’ve had to perform crazy stunts in my career, but this one takes the cake! The producers are sending me to another planet to become an alien’s mail-order bride. As soon my contract is up, I’ll be leaving planet Dakon. Unfortunately, I hadn’t counted on my attraction to Mr. Tall, “Darq,” and Handsome… I’m Darq. The moment I laid eyes on the female with pretty mud-colored hair and a sunny smile, I knew she was mine. Competition for females is fierce, and I was determined to claim a mate from the latest shipment from Earth, so I broke the rules. If anyone finds out, I’ll lose my mate. Alien Intention I’m Stormy Weathers. My love life on Earth is one natural disaster after the other. I’m attracted to bad boys. In a crowd of choirboys, I’ll find the jerk. All I want is a man who’ll love me and my young son, so I’m going to become an alien’s mail-order bride.The chemistry I feel with Romando is electric. A mutual attraction this strong can’t be wrong… I’m Romando, an outcast in my own tribe. One rash, angry act turned me into a pariah and almost got me banished. But what everyone resents the most is that I’m one of the lucky few who’ll be getting a mate. The instant Stormy Weathers blows into Dakon with the other Earth females, my horns tingle. Unfortunately, she’s related to my nemesis responsible for my outcast state. Honor requires I reject her as a suitable mate. Alien Mischief My name is Madison Altman. Don’t think because I’ve disguised myself as a man and have accepted a job that takes me away from Earth that I’m running away from love. I met the love of my life—but he was killed on our wedding day. Chaperoning women to Dakon to become the mail-order brides of aliens pays the bills. Unfortunately, the ship returned to Earth without me! Luckily, Enoki came to my rescue. He might be hot, and sexy as hell with his gravelly voice and throbbing horns, but he believes I’m a man, and we’re friends, not lovers. As soon as Enoki can get me a flight back, I’m going home. I’m Enoki, leader of Dakon. The Fates whispered my mate was coming. But when the females arrived, none of them was mine. Now I must help the stranded Earth man return to his planet. Even though Madison is a Terran, we’ve developed a strong bond. I’ll miss him, but because we’re friends, I intend to do everything I can to help him leave. Why do the whispers tell me not to let him go?

Sixteen-year-old Riley is one of the world's last free girls, having been kept hidden since birth from the Breeders- a group of doctors using cruel experiments to bolster the dwindling human race. When authorities abduct her parents, she and her younger brother are left to fend for themselves. Clay, a rogue gunslinger trying to atone for past sins, finds them and helps them hide, escape and find their family.

Doctor Rydell has opened a fertility clinic, but behind closed doors, it is truly intended to sissify men that are hiding from their true trannsexual ways. Three patients undergo humiliating treatment that leaves them admitting their love for other men and desire to be submissive.

While there has been great progress in the development of plant breeding over the last decade, the selection of suitable plants for human consumption began over 13,000 years ago. Since the Neolithic era, the cultivation of plants has progressed in Asia Minor, Asia, Europe, and ancient America, each specific to the locally wild plants as well as the ecological and social conditions. A handy reference for knowing our past, understanding the present, and creating the future, this book provides a comprehensive treatment of the development of crop improvement methods over the centuries. It features an extensive historical treatment of development, including influential individuals in the field, plant cultivation in various regions, techniques used in the Old World, and cropping in ancient America. The advances of scientific plant breeding in the twentieth century is extensively explored, including efficient selection methods, hybrid breeding, induced polyploidy, mutation research, biotechnology, and genetic manipulation. Finally, this book presents information on approaches to the sustainability of breeding and to cope with climatic changes as well as the growing world population.

Developments in Plant Genetics and Breeding, 1A: Isozymes in Plant Genetics and Breeding, Part A focuses on the advancements in the processes, methodologies, and approaches involved in the study of isozymes, including its role in plant genetics and breeding. The selection first elaborates on the historical perspectives of plant isozymes, plant genetics, and isozyme systems to study gene regulation during development. Discussions focus on the use of isozyme and similar comparisons to study differential gene regulation, gene preservation, dissemination of cultivars, propagation of cultivars and breeding lines, and studies on the effect of viral infection and hormones on isozyme expression. The text then examines allozymes in gene dosage studies, gene mapping, and plastid isozymes. The manuscript takes a look at the genetics of mitochondrial isozymes, evolution of plant isozymes, and detection of somatic variation. Topics include evolution of isozymes in plants, generation of isozymes, glutamate dehydrogenase, glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase, and malate dehydrogenase. The text also ponders on enzyme activity staining, isozymic variation and plant breeders' rights, genetic purity of commercial seed lots, and use of isozymes in plant disease research. The selection is a valuable reference for researchers interested in the role of isozymes in plant genetics and breeding.
