This expanded second edition of the Seeds Handbook has been revised and updated to include the latest advances in seed science and technology, discussing - for the first time in a book of this kind - novel practical methods for the production of seeds of over 80 agronomic and horticultural crops, production of synthetic seeds, mass multiplication of disease-free crop plants through newer biotechnologies such as micropropagation, genetically modified (GM) or transgenic seeds, and future challenges and research needs for the world food security. Furnishing both theoretical perspectives and hands-on methods for real-world applications, the handbook updates all areas of seed biology, production, and processing.
