Genetics, Genomics and Breeding of Sunflower (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Hu, Jinguo; Kole, C.; Seiler, Gerald

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Combining traditional research with modern molecular investigations on the sunflower crop, this book expounds on the wealth of genomic research currently under investigation. Providing detailed information on genetic markers, DNA sequences, and genomic resources for both major sunflower crops (oilseed sunflower which supplies ten percent of the world's plant-derived edible oils and confection-type sunflower which constitutes a significant portion of the directly consumed snacks market), this text draws on the research of world-renowned experts to give scientists the crucial information necessary to expedite the genetic improvement of this important crop.
