| Title | Pollen biotechnology for crop production and improvement / edited by K.R. Shivanna, V.K. Sawhney. Pollen Biotechnology for Crop Production & Improvement |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xiv, 448 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Contents | Pollen biology and pollen biotechnology: an introduction / Pollen biology: an overview. Pollen development and pollen-pistil interaction / Gene expression during pollen development / Pollination biology and plant breeding systems / Pollen biotechnology and optimization of crop yield. Pollination efficiency of insects / Pollination constraints and management of pollinating insects for crop production / Pollen biotechnology and hybrid seed production. Cytoplasmic male sterility / |
| Summary | Our knowledge of pollen, the gold dust that carries the male germ line of flowering plants and is vital for sexual reproduction and seed formation, has 'come of age' with the publication of this book. Here, for the first time in a single volume, are all the ideas and techniques developed in the last two decades concerning the manipulation of pollen and pollen tubes in plant breeding and biotechnology. Pollen has never been an easy topic to come to grips with, with its variable and often inexplicable terminology that has made it a more difficult field in which to work. This book will remedy that, with its overview of pollen biology and pollen-pistil interactions that explains terms and concepts of the male function of pollen in a way that is readily understandable to the student and professional plant scientist and plant breeder. |
