Items related to Genes, Crops and the Environment
The genetic combinations found in plants are the basis for plant breeding programs, which are essential to the security of our present and future food supply. This book explains what these genetic resources are, how they are handled, and why they should be safely conserved for the future. The authors also explore the applications of this research to political and operational programs in all parts of the world and its impact on the conservation of biodiversity, ecosystem rehabilitation, and the future health of our planet.

Review:
' ... a concise, well-written introduction to the preservation and utilisation of crop genetic diversity.' Jeffrey Bennetzen, Trends in Genetics
' ... more than any other book of this size (small) and accessibility (considerable), it does an excellent job of placing plant genetic conservation in the wider context of crop domestication and improvement.' Bookshelf
' ... readers of this book,whether they be professional scientists or interested laypeople, will finish it with a solid grasp of the issues facing those who seek to conserve genetic diversity among crop plants and with an appreciation for the complexities involved.' Trends in Ecology and Evolution
'It is well written and uses a minimum of jargon so that the issues can be understood clearly by those with little previous knowledge of the subject ... a useful addition to the literature on this subject which will appeal particularly to students and administrators wishing to explore the background of this important subject.' Plant Varieties and Seeds
' ... it is a valuable contribution to the subject and is well worth reading.' Agricultural Science
