Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 44 by Irwin Goldman (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 44 by Irwin Goldman Plant Breeding Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. Many of the crops widely grown today stem from a very narrow genetic base; understanding and preserving crop genetic resources is vital to the security of food systems worldwide. The emphasis of the series is on methodology, a fundamental understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops.
