The purpose of this book is to review a number of novel techniques recently developed in plant breeding and plant biotechonogy. The emphasis is on newer methods for the genetic modification of plants rather than on the more traditional areas but the aim is to integrate advances with established knowlkedge in plant breeding. It will serve to provide a very useful review of a number of recent developments and help integrate some of the rapid advances in plant biotechnology. * Contents : Breeding plants for the twenty-first century. chromosomal organization and gene mapping. Gene transfer to plants using agrobacterium. Electroporation fo direct gene transfer into plant protoplasts. Microprojectile techniquees for direct gene transfer into intact plant cells. Localization of transferred genes in genetically modified plants. Somatic embryogfenesis: potential for use in propagation and gene transfer systems. Chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes : manipulation through somatic hybridization. Modification of the chloroplast genome with particular reference to herbicide resistance. Breeting for resistance to insects. Resistance to fungal diseases. Advances in breeding for resistance to bacterial pathogens. Genetic engineering for resistance to viruses.
