简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 In introducing 16 chapters by international scientists, Nguyen (soybean genomics and biotechnology, U. of Missouri-Columbia) and Blum (Agricultural Research Organization, Bet Dagan, Israel) comment on the increasing pressures on plant breeding for sustainable agriculture. New technologies are increasingly being turned to because of ecosystem stress, decreasing genetic diversity, and the slowness of molecular approaches in raising yields. Offered as a dialog between plant physiology and biotechnology, this volume summarizes the latest information, tools, case studies, and views on crop physiology and such biotech areas as functional genomics. Crops discussed include sorghum, soybeans, peanuts, and cotton. Annotation 漏2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
