520 3 # |a This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the components (molecular tools and methodologies as well as conventional approaches) that should be integrated within plant breeding programmes for the improvement of crop plants. Although the book has attempted to cover all relevant areas of molecular breeding in plants, many examples have been drawn from the genomics research and molecular breeding of major cereal crops. This book is intended to provide a handbook for biologists, geneticists and breeders, as well as a textbook for final year undergraduates and graduate students specializing in agronomy, genetics, genomics and plant breeding.
