Chromosome engineering is the controlled generation of chromosomal deletions, inversions, or translocations with defined endpoints. This book surveys the entire range of general aspects of chromosome research on plants, and deals with the cytogenetics of plant materials including legumes, vegetable and oil crops, sugar crops, forage crops, fiber crops, medicinal crops and ornamentals.
