Plant Breeding Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. Many of the crops widely grown today stem from a very narrow genetic base; understanding and preserving crop genetic resources is vital to the security of food systems worldwide. The emphasis of the series is on methodology, a fundamental understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops.
Written by a distinguished group of international authorities, this is the first comprehensive review of the role of isozymes in plant genetics and breeding. Comprising two parts, it assembles a wealth of information on a broad spectra of plant groups. Part A opens with an introductory section giving a thorough overview and historical perspective of plant genetic and isozyme research. This is followed by studies involving basic scientific concepts, the role of enzyme electrophoresis in plant breeding, the use of isozymes in seed production and variety protection, and electrophoretic protocols. Part B is entirely devoted to summarizing in detail the current status of isozyme research in individual plant species. The scope of this monograph is such that it will be of great interest to a wide range of scientists including those in biochemistry, molecular genetics, evolutionary biology, cytogenetics, physiology and plant breeding.
Descriptions of 656 research facilities in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Inclusion depended on criterion of at least 100 employees in large countries and of about 50 for smallercountries; thus, many university research facilities were excluded. Entry gives identification, organizational, and financial information, as well as descriptions of research activities and current programs. No index.
