Book description
Molecular Markers in Plants surveys an array of technologies
used in the molecular analysis of plants. The role molecular markers
play in plant improvement has grown significantly as DNA sequencing
and high-throughput technologies have matured. This timely review of
technologies and techniques will provide readers with a useful
resource on the latest molecular technologies.
Molecular Markers in Plants not only reviews past achievements,
but also catalogs recent advances and looks forward towards the future
application of molecular technologies in plant improvement. Opening
chapters look at the development of molecular technologies. Subsequent
chapters look at a wide range of applications for the use of these
advances in fields as diverse as plant breeding, production,
biosecurity, and conservation. The final chapters look forward toward
future developments in the field.
Looking broadly at the field of molecular technologies, Molecular
Markers in Plants will be an essential addition to the library
of every researcher, institution, and company working in the field of
plant improvement.
