Physiology and Biotechnology Integration for Plant BreedingHenry T. Nguyen, Abraham Blum Global demand for wheat, rice, corn, and other essential grains is expected to steadily rise over the next twenty years. Meeting this demand by increasing production through increased land use is not very likely; and while better crop management may make a marginal difference, most agriculture experts agree that this anticipated deficit must be m |
