Contents: Plant biodiversity: the social, ethical and policy context; Applied taxonomy; Plant population genetics; Genetic diversity and its measurement; Germplasm collecting; and more.
Full Description
The need to understand the genetic diversity of plants and be able to quantify it accurately has become a crucial part of conservation efforts. This is, in part, because plants provide us with much of our food, construction materials, medicines and many other products. This major new textbook introduces essential theories and techniques needed to describe plant genetic diversity and explains how this data can be used to plan conservation strategies and implement sustainable exploitation of plant resources.
