简介:The almost 30 contributors to this volume provide a series of scholarly discussions on a range of topics relating to plant breeding. The collection of monographs also includes a dedication to Francesco Salamini, a noted plant geneticist and plant breeder, and prolific author of scientific papers. Chapter topics include epigenetics, enhancing crop gene pools with beneficial traits using wile relatives, molecular genetics and breeding for fatty acid manipulation in soybean, improving breeding efficiency for early maturity in peanuts, ploidy manipulation, quality concerns, and genomics issues, among others. While the text is extremely technical and detailed, the writing is clear, accessible, and very thorough. Annotation 漏2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
