Roots and Tubers for the 21st Century
Synthesizes a significant amount of data and information on roots and tubers in an effort to provide a clearer vision of their past, present, and future roles in the food systems of developing countries. How the production and use of these commodities have changed and will continue to change over time are all the more important to understand because of the contribution they make to the diets and income-generating activities of the rural and urban poor in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Provides a fuller understanding of the prospects of roots and tubers for food, feed, and other uses in developing countries.

Horticultural Reviews, Volume 26
"Horticultural Reviews" ist eine Fortsetzungsreihe zu Forschungsartikeln über kommerzielle Nutzpflanzen im Bereich Gartenbau, wie z.B. Obst, Gemüse, Nüsse und Zierpflanzen mit kommerzieller Bedeutung. Band 26 gibt einen Überblick über diese spezielle Thematik. Eine Vielzahl von Artikeln aus einschlägigen Fachzeitschriften wurde hier zusammengetragen, miteinander verglichen und einander gegenübergestellt. Darüber hinaus gibt es eine Fülle von Literaturverweisen, die einen einfachen, zeit- und geldsparenden Zugriff auf die aktuellste Information bieten. Dabei wird der spezialisierte Forscher ebenso angesprochen, wie die große Gemeinschaft der Gartenbauexperten.
Genetic Improvement of Vegetable Crops
Genetic improvement has played a vital role in enhancing the yield potential of vegetable crops. There are numerous vegetable crops grown worldwide and variable degrees of research on genetics, breeding and biotechnology have been conducted on these crops. This book brings together the results of such research on crops grouped as alliums, crucifers, cucurbits, leaf crops, tropical underground and miscellaneous. Written by eminent specialists, each chapter concentrates on one crop and covers cytology, genetics, breeding objectives, germplasm resources, reproductive biology, selection breeding methods, heterosis and hybrid seed production, quality and processing attributes and technology. This unique collection will be of great value to students, scientists and vegetable breeders as it provides a reference guide on genetics, breeding and biotechnology of a wide range of vegetable crops.
Advances in Genetic Enhancement of Early and Extra-Early Maize for Sub-Saharan Africa
The book focuses on the principles and practices of tropical maize improvement with special emphasis on early and extra-early maize to feed the increasing population in Sub-Saharan Africa. It highlights the similarities and differences between results obtained in temperate regions of the world and WCA in terms of corroboration or refutation of genetic principles and theory of maize breeding. The book is expected to be of great interest to maize breeders, advanced undergraduates, graduate students, professors and research scientists in the national and international research institutes all over the world, particularly Sub-Saharan Africa. It will also serve as a useful reference for agricultural extension and technology transfer systems, Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), seed companies and community-based seed enterprises, policy makers, and all those who are interested in generating wealth from agriculture and alleviating hunger and poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa.
