Plant genetic resources comprising of reservoir of gene and genecomplex are basic raw materials for genetic improvement of any cropincluding vegetables.
The book entitled vegetable crops: Genetic Resources andimprovement is a compilation of information generated throughresearch work of many scientists in India and abroad from reputedinstitutes like, IIHR, IARI, GBUAT, TNAU, IIVR, CCSHAU, PAU, MPUAT,CSKKVV, BCKV etc.,
The book contains introductory chapter on various aspects ofcollection, characterization, conservation and utilization ofgermplasm in genetic improvement of different vegetable cropshighlighting the importance of genetic resource management andtheir achievement in India. Application of differentbiotechnological tools and techniques like, tissue culture,molecular markers and bioinformatics in conservation andutilization of plant genetic resources have been included. Theissues related to biosafety regulations and IPR have also beendiscussed.
Genetic improvement of different vegetable crops throughutilization of genetic resources have been dealt in chapterscovering all important vegetables including underutilizedvegetables, seed spices and edible mushrooms.
This book is very helpful to the teachers, scientists, studentsand personals involved in PGRE management, who wish to update theknowledge on recent technological advances in genetic resourcemanagement and improvement of vegetable crops.ISBN - 9789380235509
