Reviews
An outstanding compilation of genetics and genomics that can drive progress in modern plant breeding. The chapters are well designed by several specialist scientists/breeders from diverse specialized areas in the field of plant breeding. A wonderful job in integrating information about traditional and molecular plant breeding approaches. I hope this encyclopedic handbook is poised to become a benchmark reference for experienced breeders, researchers, teachers and students alike. -- From the Foreword by M. S. Swaminathan, Founder Chairman, M. S. Swaminathan Research Foundation
