Breeding Major Food Staples covers improving yields and quality of these crops through breeding and the use of molecular biology tools such as gene transfer, genome mapping, biofortification, and bioinformatics. This book will be an important reference for anyone working in crop breeding. 606 $aFood crops$xBreeding 606 $aCrop improvement 615 0$aFood crops$xBreeding. 615 0$aCrop improvement. 676 $a631.5/2 676 $a631.52 701 $aKang$b Manjit S$0990675 701 $aPriyadarshan$b P.
