Book excerpt: 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.

The emphasis of the series is on methodology, a fundamental understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops.
