§ Stresses the importance of germplasm exploration, maintenance, and assimilation for increasing the yield for cereal crops § Presents methodologies for crop improvement including conventional, cytogenetic, mutation, molecular, cell, and tissue cultures § Reviews the role of alien germoplasm for the domestication of each major cereal crop group § Discusses the current status of taxonomy, chromosome constitution, genomes, and more

This is the second book in a new series that explores chromosome engineering for crop improvement. Focusing on cereal crops, the book covers economic importance, world wide production and distribution, utilization, and the origin of the crop and its progenitor. With chapters written by internationally renowned scientists, the book discusses germplasm collection, maintenance, evaluation, dissemination; taxonomy; cytogenetics, gene pools, germplasm enhancement; and biotechnical methods. Filling a gap in the literature, Genetic Resources, Chromosome Engineering, and Crop Improvement: Cereals serves as the standard reference for laying out the best paths for improving cereal crop yield.
