Handbook of Maize
Description
Among plant science researchers, maize has the second largest basic science community, trailing only the Arabidopsis. Despite the size and scope of this community,a comprehensive book on the biology of maize – targeting genetics, genomics or overall biology - has not been published. Hence, a modern and comprehensive volume on the status (and future) of maize as a species for biological study is highly warranted.
Handbook of Maize: Genetics and Genomics centers on the past, present and future of maize as a model for plant genetics and crop improvement. The book includes chapters from the foremost maize experts on the role of maize in the origin of plant genetics, in modern crop improvement and in the study of genome structure,function and evolution.
