Full Description
This volume presents the principles, techniques, and applications of molecular cytogenetics in modern crop improvement. Beginning with genome organization, it covers chromosome visualization, gene mapping, pre-breeding strategies, trisomics, cytogenomics, and polyploidy. Integrating classical cytogenetics with molecular biology, the book offers practical tools for developing resilient, high-yield crops. Authored by an expert team of scientists, Molecular Cytogenetics for Crop Improvement is an essential reference for plant breeders, geneticists, biotechnologists, and students aiming to meet global food security challenges through innovative crop science.
