About this book

The fourth book in this series is the first comprehensive treatise on oilseed crops in nearly a decade, including recent advances in genetic analysis and molecular methods. With each chapter written by an internationally renowned scientist, the book reviews the role of alien germplasm for the domestication of each major legume crop. Discussion for each crop covers origin, germplasm exploration and maintenance; taxonomy; germplasm enhancement through chromosome engineering; mutation breeding; and contributions of biotechnological methods. Genetic Resources, Chromosome Engineering, and Crop Improvement: Oilseed Crops serves as the standard reference for improving the yield for oilseed crops.

Contents

Landmark Research in Oilseed Crops. Soybean. Groundnut. Cotton. Sunflower. Safflower. Canola and Mustard. Sesame.
