Produktbeschreibung

In addition to human consumption, the soybean is a major protein source in animal feeds and is becoming a major crop for biodiesel production. For many decades, plant breeders have used conventional breeding techniques to improve soybeans, yet with increasing demand, there is a need for more sophisticated techniques. Combining traditional research with modern molecular investigations on soybean, this volume explores the recent advances in soybean genome mapping, molecular breeding, genome sequencing, and bioinformatics. The book is an important tool for soybean researchers as well as researchers working with other crop species.
