Further, understanding the myriad complexities of genic and genomic interactions among species, more particularly of wild relatives of crop species and/or phylogenetically distant germplasm, can provide the necessary inputs to increase the effectiveness of genetic improvement through traditional and/or genetic engineering methods.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Gene Pool Diversity and Crop Improvement ,Volume 1 provides comprehensive and latest insights on the evolutionary genesisof diversity, access and its utilization in the evolution of major cropspecies. The book focuses on the exploration and characterization of wildgenetic resources that are reservoires of desired genetic variability  in the assimilation of important cropspecies  for the efficient utilization ofthese gene pools for sustainable genetic improvements to assure food security.A comprehensive account of various crops, origin, exploitation of the primary,secondary and tertiary gene pools through breeding, biosystematical,cytogenetical and molecular phylogenetical relationships, and geneticenhancement through biotechnological interventions among others have beenprovided as the necessary underpinnings to consolidate information on theeffective and sustainable utilization of the related genetic resources. Thecontributions also unravel the understanding of the myriad complexities ofgenic and genomic interactions among species, more particularly of wildrelatives of crop species and/or phylogenetically distant germplasm, to providethe necessary inputs to increase the effectiveness of genetic improvementthrough traditional and/or genetic engineering methods. The book is especiallyintended for students and scientists working on the genetic improvement of cropspecies. Plant breeders, geneticists, taxonomists, molecular biologists and plantbiotechnologists working on crop species are going to find this book veryuseful.
