| Description: |
Food production and population growth are inextricably linked. Remarkable progress in production and productivity of major food staples has been achieved, and the addition of valuable new technologies such as bioinformatics and biofortification are important to continue to produce nutrient-filled crops for the growing world population. |
| Synopsis: |
As the world's population increases the need to produce greater quantities of major staple crops such as wheat, rice, maize, potato, cassava, soybean, sweet potato, barley, and banana in order to sufficiently feed the people of the world continues to grow. 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. |
