Potato is the
most significant non-cereal crop. Much attention has been paid to this
commercially important crop. The aim of this volume is to capture the recent
advances made in improving potatoes using traditional breeding methods as
well as genetic engineering technology. The book provides a critical
appraisal of the state-of-the-art finding on this crop.
Useful to
potato breeders and specialists, besides teachers and students.
