Beschreibung
The series Genome Mapping and Molecular Breeding in Plants presents the current status of the elucidation and improvement of plant genomes of economic interest. The focus is on genetic and physical mapping, positioning, cloning, monitoring of desirable genes by molecular breeding and the most recent advances in genomics. The series comprises seven volumes: Cereals and Millets; Oilseeds; Pulses, Sugar and Tuber Crops; Fruits and Nuts; Vegetables; Technical Crops; and Forest Trees. This volume covers Cereals and Millets, which form the leading group of field crops, providing staple food for most of the earth’s population. This book includes chapters on rice, wheat, maize, barley, oats, rye, sorghum, pearl millet, foxtail millet and finger millet. The emphasis is on advanced research on the major crops, including the model plants maize and rice, as well as on future road maps of genomic research for the less-often considered but equally deserving cereals and millets.
The huge amount of information hitherto dispersed in journals is now available in a clearly structured reference work Series editor Chittaranjan Kole is a globally renowned scientist with more than two decades of experience teaching and working in the field An "impressive" series with "many topics covered will surely be of interest to students, academicians and industry scientists," says David V.
