Plant Breeding Reviews, Volume 11

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. Many of the crops widely grown today stem from a very narrow genetic base; understanding and preserving crop genetic resources is vital to the security of food systems worldwide. The emphasis of the series is on methodology, a fundamental understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops. It is a serial title that appears in the form of one or two volumes per year Dedication: John H. Weinberger--Fruit Breeder and Horticulturalist(D. Ramming & C. Fear).

Reproductive Barriers: Identification, Uses, and Circumvention (B.Liedl & N. Anderson).

Advances in Achieving the Needs for Biotechnologically-DerivedHerbicide Resistant Crops (J. Gressel).
