Opis

This is the second book in a new series that explores chromosome engineering for crop improvement. Focusing on cereal crops, the book covers economic importance, world wide production and distribution, utilization, and the origin of the crop and its progenitor. With chapters written by internationally renowned scientists, the book discusses germplasm collection, maintenance, evaluation, dissemination; taxonomy; cytogenetics, gene pools, germplasm enhancement; and biotechnological methods. Filling a gap in the literature, Genetic Resources, Chromosome Engineering, and Crop Improvement: Cereals serves as the standard reference for laying out the best paths for improving cereal crop yield.
