The contributions of plant genetics to the production of higher yielding crops of superior quality are well documented. These successes have been realized through the application of plant breeding techniques to a diverse array of genetically controlled traits. Such highly effective breeding procedures will continue to be the primary method employed for the development of new crop cultivars; however, new techniques in cell and molecular biology will provide additional approaches for genetic modification. There has been considerable speculation recently concerning the potential impact of new techniques in cell and molecular biology on plant improvement. These genetic engineering techniques should offer ... Read more

Reviews for Applications of Genetic Engineering to Crop Improvement
`I would recommend this publication to anyone intending to apply recombinant DNA techniques to plant breeding... also of considerable interest to those working towards plant improvement via concentional breeding methods of via somatic cell culture.' Recombinant DNA, 5:5 (1986)
