Banana Improvement
Cellular, Molecular Biology, and Induced Mutations
edited by S. Mohan Jain
Banana Improvement contains the results obtained during FAO/IAEA Coordinated Research Project including mutation techniques for creation of new useful banana genotypes
Features:
- Contains several review papers with the aim of providing state of the are information on a number of biotechnological tools for adoption by breeders and molecular biologists
- Includes cryopreservaton and somatic embryogenesis to allow maintenance and propagation of Musa germplasm: induced mutogenesis; and somacional variation
- Useful to international researchers engaged in banana genetic improvement for enhanced food security, nutrition, and employment generation
