Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 24, Part 2
Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 24, Part 2 presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. The emphasis of the series is on methodology, a practical understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops.

Securing the Harvest
Improved food security, led by increased productivity among Africa's many small-scale farmers, has been the aim of significant national and international effort in recent decades. It has proved to be one of the most critical challenges facing humankind. This book grew out of a two-year exploration conducted by the food security theme of The Rockefeller Foundation focusing on the potential for crop genetic improvement to contribute to food security among rural populations in Africa. It provides a critical assessment of the ways in which recent breakthroughs in biotechnology, participatory plant breeding, and seed systems can be broadly employed in developing and delivering more productive crop varieties in Africa's diverse agricultural environments. It also presents an analysis of current plant breeding and biotechnology strategies for the key crops in Africa including: maize, sorghum, cowpea, rice, and cassava. The book will appeal to plant breeders, biotechnologists, and seed distributors as well as policy-makers in the area of agricultural development.
Advances in Agronomy
Continuing the international tradition of Advances in Agronomy, Volume 48 highlights crop and soil science including hybrid improvement in tropical maize, pearl millet as food, feed and forage, cotton host plant resistance to insects, and electrochemical techniques applied to soils. This volume should be of interest to researchers and students in agronomy.Key Features* Maize, pearl millet, and cotton crops* Reactions and availability of nickel in soils* Electrochemical techniques for soil analysis
