Much attention has been paid to this commercially important crop. The aim of this volume is to capture the recent advances made in improving potatoes using traditional breeding methods as well as genetic engineering technology. The book provides a critical appraisal of the state-of-the-art finding on this crop.Crop improvementPotatoesBreedingPotatoesGeneticsCrop improvement.PotatoesBreeding.PotatoesGenetics.635/.21233Razdan M KFlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910782494403321Genetic improvement of solanaceous crops3767149UNINA
