INHERITANCE OF ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT TRAITSPlant Breeding Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. Many of the crops widely grown today stem from a very narrow genetic base; understanding and preserving crop genetic resources is vital to the security of food systems worldwide. The emphasis of the series is on methodology, a fundamental understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops. It is a serial title that appears in the form of one or two volumes per year.Plant breeding reviews ;v. 12.Plant breedingPlant breeding.631.52Janick Jules439589MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910876668103321Plant breeding reviews3927436UNINA
