This book provides an overview of the rapidly-developing field of quantitative genetics and genomics, and their application to plant breeding. Chapters have been developed from a symposium held in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in March 2001. Authors include international authorities from around the world. Contents include quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, genomics and marker-assisted selection; tissue culture and alien introgression for crop improvement; and advances in genotype by environment interaction/stability analysis.

Table of contents:
