About this book

Plant Molecular Breeding

Plant Molecular Breeding

Edited by

H. John Newbury

The last few years have seen an explosion of new information and resources in the areas of plant molecular genetics and genomics. As a result of developments such as high throughput sequencing, we now have available huge amounts of information on plant genes. But how does this help people charged with the task of improving crop species to create products with altered functions or improved characteristics?

This volume considers ways in which the new information, resources and technology can be exploited by the plant breeder. Examples in current use are quoted wherever possible.

The volume is directed at researchers and professionals in plant genetics, molecular biology, cell biology and biochemistry.
