Genetic Resources, Chromosome Engineering, and Crop Improvement: 'Forage Crops, Vol 5'

The fifth volume in this landmark series lays out the best paths for improving the yield of forage crops, which are grown to feed livestock. As the first comprehensive book on forage crops in decades, this resource compiles recent advances in genetic analysis and biotechnological methods, including molecular enhancements. Each crop-specific chapter is written by an internationally renowned scientist and covers plant origin, germplasm exploration and maintenance, taxonomy, and germplasm enhancement through chromosome engineering and mutation breeding. This work is certain to become a standard resource for those seeking to develop sustainable agriculture systems.
