About the Book: Applied Genetics of Oilseed Crops
The book deals with the genetics of economic characters, approaches for genetic
improvement, constraints, problems and prospects of improvement, innovative
strategies including integrated approach of conventional breeding and molecular
breeding of important oilseeds crops viz., groundnut, sesame sunflower,
safflower, niger, linseed, castor and new introduction Jatropha. Breeding for
resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses for gaining greater importance in
recent years. The book covers all the major oilseed crops, edible as well as
non-edible. This book useful to the scientists involved in oilseed research,
students and also extension functionaries in increasing the productivity and
production to oilseeds.
