This Book Is The First Of Its Kind, Where Twenty Chapters Written By Experts Of International Repute, Cover All Aspects Of Cereal Genomics Research. In Recent Years Genomics Has Become A Thrust Area Of Research In Life Sciences, And Cereals, Being The Most Important Group Of Crops, Their Genomes Have Been Subjected To Intensive/extensive Analyses. The Knowledge And The Products Generated Through Cereal Genomics Research Are Already Being Used For Plant Breeding Through Both, The Marker Assisted Selection (mas) And Transgenic Cereals. The Book Should Prove Useful Not Only For Students And Teachers, But Also For The Young Research Workers, Who Are Starting Their Research Career In The Field Of Cereal Genomics.--jacket. 1.
