This is volume 3 in the series Genome Mapping and Molecular Breeding in Plants
Genome Mapping and Molecular Breeding in Plants presents the current status of the
elucidation and improvement of plant genomes of economic interest. The focus is on genetic
and physical mapping, positioning, cloning, monitoring of desirable genes by molecular breeding
and the most recent advances in genomics. The series comprises seven volumes: Cereals and Millets;
Oilseeds; Pulses, Sugar and Tuber Crops; Fruits and Nuts; Vegetables; Technical Crops; and Forest Trees.
Pulses, Sugar and Tuber Crops includes reviews in 15 chapters contributed by 47 eminent scientists from
10 countries. The chapters on common bean, pea, cowpea, sugarcane and potato include comprehensive
reviews of voluminous research findings. Fundamental aspects and molecular results are presented for eight
'orphan crops' of high agroeconomic importance, including mungbean, lentil, chickpea, lathyrus,
pigeonpea, sweet potato, cassava and yam. Additionally, works on quinoa and Bambara groundnut are
reviewed for the first time.
Written for researchers in Genetics, Genomics, Biotechnology, Agriculture, Plant Sciences, and Plant Breeding
