About this book
This text provides an overview of the emerging field of the study of complex plant genomes and the laboratory techniques that will enhance genetic improvement of cotton. It also addresses important issues and opportunities that face the cotton industry. Topics include the approaches utilized in breeding and development of cotton cultivars in Australia; the expression and regulation of lipid transfer protein genes in cotton fibre; and RFLP diversity in cotton.
