Written by internationally recognized experts in the field, this volume covers the subject of molecular genetics in chromosome biology. Students of genetics, crop science and plant breeding, entomology, animal science, and related fields should benefit from this practical textbook.

Chromosome biology has been brought to a golden age by phenomenal advances in molecular genetics and techniques. This is true in the plant arena, and it is becoming increasingly true in animal studies, where chromosomes are more difficult to work with. With advanced knowledge of transformation, scientists can tell exactly where a new element enters a chromosome. Conversly, molecular biologists can make large mistakes if they do not understand the behavior of chromosomes. Written by internationally recognized experts in the field, this book is an authoritative work on the subject. Students of genetics, crop science and plant breeding, entomology, animal science, and related fields should benefit from this comprehensive and practical textbook.
