The genetic variability that developed in plants during their evolution is the basis of their domestication and breeding into the crops grown today
for food, fuel and other industrial uses. This third edition brings the subject up to date, with more emphasis on crop origins. Beginning with a
description of the process of evolution in native and cultivated plants, the book reviews the origins of crop domestication and their subsequent
development over time. All major crop species are discussed, including cereals, protein plants, starch crops, fruits and vegetables, from their
origins to conservation of their genetic resources for future development.
