Agricultural crop genetics is the study of crop heredity and inherited characteristics among agricultural crop. There is an impressive history of crop modification in the past three decades and this book on agricultural crop genetics deals with advanced practices in this area. Recent studies in plant biology have focused on disease-resistant crops, high-yield varieties and conditions of tissue culture. Inter-disciplinary research in fields such as plant genetics, and evolutionary genetics has also contributed much to this field. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied branches that fall under this category. This brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of crop genetics. For all readers who all are interested in the field of crop genetics, the case studies included in this book will serve as an excellent guide to develop comprehensive understanding.
