Wild crop plants play a significant part in the elucidation and improvement of the genomes of their cultivated counterparts. The 10-volume Wild Crop Relatives: Genomic and Breeding Resources offers a comprehensive examination of wild crops as a gold mine for breeding. It details the status, origin, distribution, morphology, cytology, genetic diversity and available genetic and genomic resources of numerous wild crop relatives, as well as of their evolution and phylogenetic relationship.
Wild Crop Relatives: Genomic and Breeding Resources comprises 10 volumes on cereals, millets and grasses, oilseeds, legume crops and forages, vegetables, temperate fruits, tropical and subtropical fruits, industrial crops, plantation and ornamental crops, and forest trees.
Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews:
“Many authors have contributed to this book’s 15 chapters, each of which focuses upon a legume or forage crop and associated species. … The book is likely to be a useful resource for a range of scientists … . If plant breeders are involved in breeding a range of forage legumes, then reference to this book might be useful. … those involved in the conservation of plant genetic resources might be the real users of this book … .” (Brian Ford-Lloyd, Experimental Agriculture, Vol. 48 (1), 2012)
