Genetic Resources, Chromosome Engineering, and Crop Improvement

The third book in this series, Genetic Resources, Chromosome Engineering, and Crop Improvement: Vegetable Crops, Volume 3 provides discussion subjects for each crop, including origin, germplasm collections, maintenance and exploration, taxonomy, gene-pools, germplasm diversity and enhancement through chromosome engineering, mutation breeding, and contributions of biotechnological methods. As the first comprehensive book on vegetable crops in more than a decade, it features recent advances in genetic analysis and molecular methods. This book serves as the standard reference for laying out the best paths for improving vegetable crop yield to maximize return on the investments made in establishing and growing these crops.
