Potato Genetics
Author: J. E. Bradshaw, G. R. Mackay
ISBN: 9780881929201
Pages: 576
Format: 17 X 25
Binding: Hardback
Pub. Year: 1994
Main Description
The potato is economically a very important crop in many parts of the world. All improvements through potato breeding or biotechnology must be based on a thorough knowledge of potato genetics. This book fills a major gap in the current literature for an up-to-date account of this topic and its implications for crop improvement. Written by authorities from the UK, USA, Canada, Peru, Netherlands, Germany, Sweden and Poland, this major reference work will be indispensible for workers in plant genetics, breeding and biotechnology.
