Mutation Breeding and Efficiency Enhancing Technologies for Resistance to Striga in Cereals

This open access book is a compilation of protocols developed through a Coordinated Research Project of the Joint FAO/IAEA Center of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, specifically focused on mutation breeding for resistance to Striga. The book consists of three sections; (i) a general intr...
