About this book
Illustrates the application of the newer technologies in the various areas of plant genetic resources work and evaluates their actual or potential use.
Contents
Genomic relationships, synteny and wide crossing; population genetic considerations for germplasm collection, in situ and ex situ conservation and molecular ecology; use of molecular marker techniques for description of plant genetic variation; gene identification, isolation and transfer; new approaches to the management of germplasm collections; "in vitro" conservation methods; conservation of DNA - DNA banking; importance of biotechnology for germplasm health and quarantine; genetic resources, molecular markers and plant breeding; biodiversity for bioindustries; bioformatics.

"Explores a number ways that of techniques for [sic] that have been developed for manipulating genomes can be applied in assessing, conserving, and using plant genetic variation. The topics include population structure and conservation, rice as a case study of molecular markers and managing genetic resources in seed gene banks, DNA banking, plant breeding, germplasm health and quarantine, biodiversity for bio- industries, and internet resources. Addressed to scientists in biodiversity and germplasm conservation, crop improvement, museums and herbaria, genetics, taxonomy, molecular biology, and ecology."--SciTech Book News
