Synopsis
Food production and population growth are inextricably linked. Remarkable progress in production and productivity of major food staples has been achieved, and the addition of valuable new technologies such as bioinformatics and biofortification are important to continue to produce nutrient-filled crops for the growing world population. Breeding Major Food Staples reviews current breeding research and innovative new technologies and their applications to staple crops such as rice, wheat, corn, potato, sweet potato, soybean, cassava, barley, and banana.Breeding Major Food Staples brings together state-of-the-art technical information from leading international researchers on improving yield and quality of key crops through traditional and cutting-edge breeding techniques. The book opens with chapters on general plant breeding principles that are applicable to all crops. The final two parts are made up of crop specific chapters covering cereal crops and carbohydrate and calorie-producing staple crops.Covering both traditional and innovative methods such as gene transfer, biofortification and bioinformatics, Breeding Major Food Staples will be an invaluable resource to plant breeders, crop science researchers, and practicing professionals., Food production and population growth are inextricably linked.

Covering both traditional and innovative methods such as gene transfer, biofortification and bioinformatics, Breeding Major Food Staples will be an invaluable resource to plant breeders, crop science researchers, and practicing professionals., As the world's population increases the need to produce greater quantities of major staple crops such as wheat, rice, maize, potato, cassava, soybean, sweet potato, barley, and banana in order to sufficiently feed the people of the world continues to grow. Breeding Major Food Staples covers improving yields and quality of these crops through breeding and the use of molecular biology tools such as gene transfer, genome mapping, biofortification, and bioinformatics. This book will be an important reference for anyone working in crop breeding., Food production and population growth are inextricably linked. Remarkable progress in production and productivity of major food staples has been achieved, and the addition of valuable new technologies such as bioinformatics and biofortification are important to continue to produce nutrient-filled crops for the growing world population.
