Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 37

Informationen zum Autor Jules Janick obtained his PhD in Plant Genetics and Breeding and is a Professor of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture at Purdue University. Klappentext Contents1. Bikram Gill: Cytogeneticist and Wheat Man - 12. Synthetic Hexaploids: Harnessing Species of the Primary Gene Pool for Wheat Improvement - 353. Breeding Early and Extra-Early Maize for Resistance to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses in Sub-Saharan Africa - 1234. Almond Breeding - 2075. Breeding Loquat - 2596. Prognostic Breeding: A New Paradigm for Crop Improvement - 297 Zusammenfassung 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.
