Plant Breeding Reviews presents state-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. Many of the crops widely grown today stem from a very narrow genetic base; understanding and preserving crop genetic resources is vital to the security of food systems worldwide. The emphasis of the series is on methodology, afundamental understanding of crop genetics, and applications to major crops. It is a serial title that appears in the form of one or two volumes per year. Typical articles from recent volumes include: Genetic Markers and Plant Genetic Resource Management Long Term Pollen Storage Breeding Perennial Rye Geneticsof Wheat-Rust Interaction Origin, Evolution and Breeding of the Grapefruit Plant Anti-fungal Proteins Utilization of Exotic Maize Germplasm Breeding Wild RiceJules Janick obtained his PhD in Plant Genetics and Breeding and is a Professor of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture at Purdue University.
