Recent advances in plant cell and molecular biology have opened new avenues for the improvement of crop plants in the genus Brassica - oilseeds and vegetables of worldwide economic importance. This volume reviews advances in various areas of Brassica biotechnology. It covers the use of rapid-cycle brassicas, tissue culture and gene transfer, molecular genetics, biotic and abiotic stress resistance, and molecular farming. Contributors are world-leading international Brassica researchers. The volume is an invaluable reference for plant breeders, researchers and graduate students in the fields of plant biotechnology, agronomy, horticulture, genetics, and cell and molecular biology.
