The Handbook of Plant Mutation Screening: Mining of Natural and Induced Alleles (Molecular Plant Biology Handbook Series)

Induced mutagenesis is a common and promising method for screening for new crops with improved properties. This title introduces the different methods and then focuses on the screening, detection and analysis of the novel mutations. Written by a global team of authors the book is an indispensable tool for all scientists working on crop breeding in industry and academia.
