Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 24, Part 1 Long-term Selection Maize [Hardcover]

Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 24, Part 1 presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. The emphasis of the series is on methodology, a practical understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops.Contributors.
