This resource brings together the data, information, people, methods, institutions, and historical developments related to plant breeding and genetics, usually only mentioned in introductory chapters in textbooks. Presented in chronological chapters rather than in alphabetical entries, the information covered ranges from crop improvement throughout history (beginning with ancient times) to Mendel's contributions and biotechnology and genetic engineering. The final chapter is an alphabetical listing of breeders, geneticists, and others associated with the topic, along with brief biographies. Explanation of technical terms or methods is kept to a minimum. The resource is meant for students, educators, researchers, seed producers, historians, and others interested in agronomy, plant breeding, genetics, biotechnology, and biology. Schlegel is a professor of cytogenetics and applied genetics, who currently works for a private company in Germany. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
