From the reviews: "Insightful review of the current state of knowledge and research on genome analysis of these crops, and sorghum particularly. ... this book provides some good in-depth reviews and commentary for those interested in genome analysis of sorghum and some good overviews of activity in certain molecular genetics research fields in sorghum, sugarcane and Miscanthus." (Phil Jackson, Experimental Agriculture, Vol. 49 (2), 2013)
