Description
Wild Germplasm for Genetic Improvement in Crop Plants addresses the need for an integrated reference on a wide variety of crop plants, facilitating comparison and contrast, as well as providing relevant relationships for future research and development. The book presents the genetic and natural history value of wild relatives, covers what wild relatives exist, explores the existing knowledge regarding specific relatives and the research surrounding them and identifies knowledge gaps. As understanding the role of crop wild relatives in plant breeding expands the genetic pool for abiotic and biotic stress resistance, this is an ideal reference on this important topic.- Provides a single-volume resource to important crops for accessible comparison and research- Explores both conventional and molecular approaches to breeding for targeted traits and allows for expanded genetic variability- Guides the development of hybrids for germplasm with increased tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses
