Description
This two-volume work surveys the entire range of general aspects of chromosome research on plants. This first volume is divided into two
sections. Section A consists of 11 chapters covering the entire range of general aspects of chromosome research in plants (including
a chapter on genetic engineering in crop improvement). Section B is devoted to cytogenetics of cereals and millets (wheat, rye, barley,
triticale, oats, maize, rice, pearl millet, and minor millets). More than one chapter is devoted to the same crop to give a detailed
treatment of chromosome research (including molecular biology) in these crops.
The second volume deals with cytogenetics of plant materials
including legumes, vegetable and oil crops, sugar crops, forage crops, fibre crops, medicinal crops and ornamentals. This work will be
useful both as a reference work and a teaching aid to satisfy a wide range of workers. Every chapter has been written by an expert who
has been involved in chromosome research on a particular plant material for many years.
