Biotechnology and Plant Genetic Resources

"Explores a number ways that of techniques for Ysic that have been developed for manipulating genomes can be applied in assessing, conserving, and using plant genetic variation. The topics include population structure and conservation, rice as a case study of molecular markers and managing genetic resources in seed gene banks, DNA banking, plant breeding, germplasm health and quarantine, biodiversity for bio- industries, and internet resources. Addressed to scientists in biodiversity and germplasm conservation, crop improvement, museums and herbaria, genetics, taxonomy, molecular biology, and ecology."--SciTech Book News "Explores a number ways that of techniques for [sic] that have been developed for manipulating genomes can be applied in assessing, conserving, and using plant genetic variation.
