Description
In the first book of its kind, Genetics, Biotechnology and Breeding of Maize and Sorghum combines present knowledge from the three fields in one volume. The latest research from international experts on maize transformation and the development and testing of transgenic maize is presented, including data on maize genome analysis, DNA methylation, molecular biology and genetic engineering techniques and QTL analysis. This unique book indicates our present state of knowledge in this important and broad field, with particular emphasis given to the use of maize as a model and representative species. With extensive references, Genetics, Biotechnology and Breeding of Maize and Sorghum will be immensely valuable to students and professional geneticists and breeders of cereals.
