This book reports the results of a coordinated research project on the technical aspects of modifying one of the world's major food crops to improve resistance to disease and enhance other favorable characteristics. (Involved in the project: The Belgium Administration for Development Cooperation, the International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain, and the FAO/IAEA.) The material is arranged in sections on cell and tissue culture, and mutation induction; pests and diseases; molecular cytogenetics; genomics; and genetic transformation. Editors Jain (International Atomic Energy Agency) and Swennen (Laboratory of Tropical Crop Improvement, Catholic U. of Leuven, Belgium) bring together 30 technical contributions and round out the volume with a summary of the project's achievements with regard to developing research tools for germplasm characterization and improvement through induced mutations, cryopreservation, somatic embryogenesis, somaclonal variation, and genetic engineering. The volume is not indexed. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
