Reviews
From the reviews:
“The well-chosen panel of internationally renowned authors give us chapters on cotton’s history, breeding systems, genomics, transformation, breeding for fibre and yield enhancement, nematode resistance, the use of single and multiple action abiotic stress genes from antioxidants to ubiquitins and explanations of DNA markers, QTL mapping, genome wide introgression, etc, with excellent and up-to-date references. … This is a readable and thorough guide for those who wish to understand the history, development and future prospects for advanced breeding in cotton globally … .” (Derek Russell, Experimental Agriculture, Vol. 47 (2), 2011)Editors and Affiliations
