Having spent most of my life in Academia teaching and carrying out fundam- tal research on plant form and function, I found this collection of essays to be of considerable interest as they expanded my knowledge of genomics to plants - yond the well-studied model systems of Arabidopsis, rice, and temperate maize. It was even more valuable to me in terms of my more recent interest in international agriculture—in particular,my personal interest in promotingthe integration of - ings from the advanced plant sciences into current approaches to crop impro- ment for the bene t of poor, small-scale farmers in the ...

Reviews for Genomics of Tropical Crop Plants
From the reviews: “This book forms a part of a series of books on the study of plant genomics. It has been structured to provide and discuss recent genetic and genomic studies on the principal cultivated plants and existing genetic models. With this, it aims to improve the identification, characterization and clonage of agriculturally important genes. … gives an ... Read more
