In particular, full text of all my publications can be accessed through the chronological listing in the publications section. If you are looking for some specific information it is worth searching for particular keywords using the search box at the bottom of this page as the site has been indexed by the Google search engine. However the indexing is outside of my control, and not all pages may have registered so I have also provided some links below to topics which I hope you may find interesting.Evening Primrose (Oenothera spp.)Much of my experience over the years has been on the development and production of evening primrose seed and oil for the healthfood and pharmaceutical industry, and so there is a great deal of information about this fascinating new crop. 
The uses (and potential uses) of evening primrose oil in the pharmaceutical industry (1999).
