Editorial Reviews
Review
This is the background of this book which offers a form of dialog between the two disciplines, -crop physiology on the one hand and plant biotechnology on the other, indicating the latest findings in this important field. This provides a better understanding towards the goals of agriculture. The book also offers updated information and views on crop physiology and a short summary on the state of the art in genome mapping. … provides new views for those who commenced working on functional genomics, which will definitely be the major route in the future to eliminate the genotype-phenotype gap and it will become the major method for improving crop productivity for non-adequate environmental conditions, so that agriculture can provide us with high quality foods for the increasing population on our planet. In addition, the book is also a good example of the strong commitment of the Rockefeller Foundation and US – Israel Bi-national Agricultural Research and Development Fund (BARD) to develop future agricultural needs.

Product Description
The first resource of its kind, this reference assembles current research in crop plant physiology, plant biotechnology, and plant breeding to genetically improve crop plants while supporting a productive agriculture ecosystem—providing the most innovative perspectives and molecular approaches in crop physiology for the formulation of superior crop cultivars that potentially increase yield in stress environments.
