Publisher Description: Soybean is one of the world's leading sources of seed oil and seed protein and is grown extensively, particularly in the Americas and Asia. Indeed, soybean is the lowest-cost producer of vegetable oil, since the oil is a co-product of its protein-rich meal. Major advances have recently been made in our understanding of soybean genetics and molecular biology and of the applications of new technologies to soybean improvement. This book presents an up-to-date review of the state of this knowledge and is aimed at workers in legume agronomy, plant genetics, breeding and biotechnology. |
