Overview

The potato is economically a very important crop in many parts of the world All improvements through potato breeding or biotechnology must be based on a thorough knowledge of potato genetics. This book fills a major gap in the current literature for an up-to-date account of this topic and its implications for crop impro@.elDent. Written by authorities from the UK, USA Canada, Peru, Netherlands, Germany, Swed(-,n and Poland, this majc,)r reference work will be indispensible for workers in plant genetics breedir)g and biotechnolog@
