Description
Genomic Applications for Crop Breeding: BioticStress is the first of two volumes looking atthe latest advances in genomic applications to crop breeding. Thisvolume focuses on genomic-assisted advances for improvingeconomically important crops against biotic stressors, such asviruses, fungi, nematodes, and bacteria. Looking at key advances incrops such as rice, barley, wheat, and potato amongst others,Genomic Applications for Crop Breeding: BioticStress will be an essential referencefor crop scientists, geneticists, breeders, industry personnel andadvanced students in the field.
