Technical Crops includes plants of great agricultural importance. Coverage includes cotton, the most important fiber crop on which significant progress in molecular genetic research has been made. In addition, the book includes reviews on oil palm, coffee, tea, cocoa and rubber that describe traditional breeding and preliminary molecular results. It also includes chapters on forage crops, ornamentals, and medicinal and aromatic plants, each covering a large number of crops and which may serve as road maps for further molecular research.

An invaluable work that will promote further genomic research Series editor Chittaranjan Kole is a globally renowned scientist with more than two decades of experience teaching and working in the field Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
