Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The book presents a comprehensive review of modern and classical aspects of distant hybridization. Emphasis is given on crossability relationships, presyngamic and postsyngamic barriers, methods to overcome the barriers, use of distant species to develop disease, insect, pest and stress resistant varieties, methods of transferring resistance genes from wild species to cultivated varieties, selection procedure in the progenies of distant hybrids, and synthesis of new crop species. In addition, various aspects of biotechnology, somatic cell hybridization, molecular biology and genetic engineering for the utilization of wild species are discussed. It is an excellent source of reference for researchers and advanced students working on plant breeding, genetics, and agriculture.
