Download or read book Root and Tuber Crops written by J.E. Bradshaw and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is important to include Tuber and Root Crops in the Handbook of Plant Breeding. They include starchy staple crops that are of increasing importance for global food security and relief of poverty, important millennium goals for the United Nations. Indeed, 2008 was the UN International Year of the Potato in recognition of this role of the potato as the world’s third most important food crop after wheat and rice. The other major staples are cassava, sweetpotato and yam. Together they occupy about 50 million hectares, with production at 640 million metric tons, of which 70% is in developing countries. In total there are more than 30 species of Root and Tuber Crops grown in the world today. Given the content of other volumes in the series, it makes sense to include sugar and fodder beets; swedes and turnips; and minor root and tuber crops so that the book series is as complete as possible. Like the other volumes in the series, this one will present information on the latest in applied plant breeding using the current advances in the field, from an efficient use of genetic resources to the impact of biotechnology in plant breeding. Seven crop specific chapters are proposed, together with an introduction to this diverse set of plant species. Outstanding scientists for each crop species are proposed as senior authors, who may invite co-authors to contribute part of a chapter. In order to increase the overall acceptance of the volume, balance will be sought with authors from different research groups/countries who will be asked to contribute and collaborate where appropriate. The book should be of interest to researchers in both academic and industrial settings, and in both developed and developing countries, as well as students and teachers of plant breeding. It is currently extremely important to educate and train a new generation of plant breeders given the challenges faced by humankind in producing more food for an expanding global population during a period of environmental (including climate) change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This unique encyclopedic treatment of tropical gardening was written specifically for Malaysia and Singapore, but it will be a valuable resource for gardeners in the American tropics as well. Included are detailed, illustrated listings of herbaceous plants, shrubs and climbers, trees and palms, foliage plants, orchids, vegetables, and fruit trees." "The adventurous gardener will find inspiration and challenges in the distinctive plant materials presented. The book assumes the mostly wet tropical climate of Malaysia, and adjustments will have to be made for local conditions of Hawaii and southern California and Florida, but the authors - distinguished botanists with long experience in the tropics - provide useful guidance on the requirements for each plant." "The breathtaking spectrum of tropical plants illustrated will be of extraordinary interest not only to sophisticated gardeners in tropical areas but to greenhouse enthusiasts everywhere."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
