Since the beginning of agricultural production, there has been a continuous effort to grow more and better quality food to feed ever increasing popula tions. Both improved cultural practices and improved crop plants have allowed us to divert more human resources to non-agricultural activities while still increasing agricultural production. Malthusian population predictions continue to alarm agricultural researchers, especially plant breeders, to seek new technologies that will continue to allow us to produce more and better food by fewer people on less land. Both improvement of existing cultivars and development of new high-yielding cultivars are common goals for breeders of all ... Read more

Reviews for In Vitro Haploid Production in Higher Plants
`The illustrations and tables are clear, the information is concise and there are good reference lists provided. All five volumes should be of interest to student and researcher alike; certainly a series to be considered by any library of an organisation involved in this field of study.' Plant Growth Regulation, 23:3 (1997)
