A peer-reviewed reviews journal, complementing the subject coverage of CAB Abstracts, by focusing on animal science, veterinary medicine; applied plant sciences; agriculture; nutrition and food science; natural resources and environmental sciences. CAB Reviews provides scientists and students in these fields with timely analysis on key topics in current research. It is an authoritative resource that highlights cross-cutting themes.

CAB Reviews offers rapid publication, and the very latest material can be accessed by browsing the Reviews list or using the simple search. CABI abstracts the Reviews, adding detailed indexing and CABICODEs, allowing more sophisticated searching through the abstract database – this involves a slight time lag, and so the results shown for the Abstracts Database tab and the Reviews tab may differ. We are providing both options to give you both the latest reviews and also the best searching system.

The application of RNA interference libraries to functional genomics studies in mammals (Reviews)
February 2010
RNA interference (RNAi) technology is a gene-silencing tool with high specificity and efficiency for gene function studies. The use of RNAi libraries, which is based on this technology ... [ more ]

Are market-based instruments effective tools for environmental management? (Reviews)
January 2010
Over the past few decades market-based instruments have enjoyed increasing use in environmental management. To examine whether market-based instruments are effective tools for environmenta ... [ more ]

The potential for C4 rice (Reviews)
January 2010
C3 plants, especially some crops such as wheat, rice, soyabean and potato, assimilate atmospheric CO2 directly through the C3 photosynthetic pathway. C4 plants, such as maize and sugarcane, evolve ... [ more ]

A brief history of mammalian coat colour genetics (Reviews)
January 2010
The study of coat colour genes of mammals can be traced back to the rediscovery of Mendel’s laws in 1900. A phenotypic homology of coat colour loci based on a phenotypic similarity of alleli ... [ more ]

Intragenic vectors for plant transformation within gene pools (Reviews)
January 2010
The design of vectors for plant transformation has recently progressed to the development of intragenic systems. This involves identifying plant-derived DNA sequences similar to important vecto ... [ more ]

The potential for modifying plant volatile composition to enhance resistance to arthropod pests (Reviews)
January 2010
Plant volatiles provide herbivorous arthropods with information that allows them to discriminate between host and non-host plants. Volatiles may also indicate plant stress status, and natura ... [ more ]

Trichomes – importance in plant defence and plant breeding (Reviews)
December 2009
Trichomes are epidermal hairs that can occur on nearly all plant surfaces. Structures are diverse among higher plants, but generally conserved within taxa. Consequently, trichomes have serve ... [ more ]

Expression QTL and their applications in genetic improvement of farm animals (Reviews)
January 2010
The integration of approaches based on genetic linkage maps and those based on function-driven holistic expression profiling, termed ‘genetical genomics’, has great potential for elucidatin ... [ more ]

Protein nutrition and nitrogen balance in buffalo cows (Reviews)
January 2010
The buffalo species represents the mainstay of the rural economy of small farmers in many developing countries, and is also an important source of protein. Because of its area of origin, it show ... [ more ]

Eco-labelling of wood, and its effectiveness in consumer guidance (Reviews)
December 2009
Eco-labelling of wood has developed at an increasing rate over the last few decades. This can be regarded as a response to consumers’ demand for an intangible attribute of wooden products tha ... [ more ]
