Handbook of Maize Genetics and Genomics /

Handbook of Maize Edited by Jeff Bennetzen and Sarah Hake Maize is one of the worlds highest value crops, with a multibillion dollar annual contribution to agriculture. The great adaptability and high yield of maize as a food, feed and forage crop have led to its production on a massive scale, with...
