. An introductory chapter
outlines the economic and nutritional importance of oilseed
crops, describes the principles and strategies of cytogenetics
and breeding, and summarizes landmarks in current research. This
sets the stage for the ensuing crop-specific chapters. Each
chapter generally provides a complete account of the crop, its
origin, wild relatives, exploitation of genetic resources in the
primary, secondary, and tertiary gene pools through breeding and
cytogenetic manipulation, and genetic enrichment using the tools
of molecular genetics and biotechnology.
