WORLD CROPS: COOL SEASON FOOD LEGUMES
CURRENT PLANT SCIENCE AND BIOTECHNOLOGY IN AGRICULTURE
Aims and Scope of the Bookseries
The bookseries is intended for readers ranging from advanced students to senior
research scientists and corporate directors interested in acquiring in-depth, state
of-the-art knowledge about research findings and techniques related to plant
science and biotechnology. While the subject matter will relate more particularly
to agricultural applications, timely topics in basic plant science and biotechnology
will be explored as well. Some volumes will report progress in rapidly advancing
disciplines through proceedings of symposia and workshops while others will
detail fundamental information of an enduring nature that will be referenced
repeatedly.
