Summarizing landmark research, Volume 4 of this essential
seriesfurnishes information on the availability of germplasm
resources that breeders can exploit for producing high-yielding
oilseed crop varieties. Written by leading international experts,
this volume presents the most up-to-date information on employing
genetic resources to increase the yield of the major seven oilseed
crops.
In eight succinct chapters, Genetic Resources, Chromosome
Engineering, and Crop Improvement: Oilseed Crops, Volume 4 focuses
on soybean, groundnut, cottonseed, sunflower, safflower, brassica
oilseeds, and sesame," "An introductory chapter outlines the
economic and nutritional importance of oilseed crops, describes the
principles and strategies of cytogenetics and breeding, and
summarizes landmarks in current research. This sets the stage for
the ensuing crop-specific chapters. Each chapter generally provides
a complete account of the crop, its origin, wild relatives,
exploitation of genetic resources in the primary, secondary, and
tertiary gene pools through breeding and cytogenetic manipulation,
and genetic enrichment using the tools of molecular genetics and
biotechnology.
Certain to become the standard reference for improving the
yields of these critical crops, this book is the definitive source
of information for plant breeders, agronomists, cytogeneticists,
taxonomists, pathologists, entomologists, molecular biologists,
food technologists, consumers, biotechnologists, and graduate
students and researchers in these fields.
