Applications of Genetic and Genomic Research in Cereals
covers new techniques for practical breeding, also discussing genetic
and genomic approaches for improving special traits. Additional sections
cover drought tolerance, biotic stress, biomass production, the impact
of modern techniques on practical breeding, hybrid breeding, genetic
diversity, and genomic selection. Written by an international team of
top academics and edited by an expert in the field, this book will be of
value to academics working in the agricultural sciences and essential
reading for professionals working in plant breeding.
