Scientific breeding in the twentieth century greatly accelerated wheat's evolution, producing high-yielding varieties that helped avoid famine in many developing countries. Emerging research and tools in genetic engineering hold promise for identifying and tapping new, useful genetic diversity within wheat's primary and secondary gene pools and beyond. Describing the changing policies that affect wheat's genetic diversity; this book identifies factors that dictate change, differences in spatial diversity, impact of policy ...

Scientific breeding in the twentieth century greatly accelerated wheat's evolution, producing high-yielding varieties that helped avoid famine in many developing countries. Emerging research and tools in genetic engineering hold promise for identifying and tapping new, useful genetic diversity within wheat's primary and secondary gene pools and beyond. Describing the changing policies that affect wheat's genetic diversity; this book identifies factors that dictate change, differences in spatial diversity, impact of policy on productivity, and the types and measurement of genetic diversity.
