Description
Taylor & Francis Global Plant Genetic Resources for Insect-Resistant Crops 1999 Edition by Stephen L. Clement, Sharron S. Quisenberry
in the conservation and use of global plant genetic resources for sustainable agricultural production, Global Plant Genetic Resources for Insect-Resistant Crops explores plant biodiversity, its preservation, and its use to develop crops resistant to pests, thereby reducing world-wide use of chemical pesticides. Topics addressed include: Table of Contents : Foreword, Masa IwanagaCereal CropsGermplasm Evaluation and Utilization for Insect Resistance in Rice, Elvis A. Heinrichs and Sharron S.
