Plant Breeding Reviews: Long-Term Selection: Maize, Volume 24, Part 1

Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 24, Part 1 presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. The emphasis of the series is on methodology, a practical understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops.Content: Chapter 1 Dedication John W.
