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 made up through increased crop yields. The first... Read more

Biography
Henry T. Nguyen, Abraham Blum
“This is the background of this book which offers a form of dialog between the two disciplines, -crop physiology on the one hand and plant biotechnology on the other, indicating the latest findings in this important field. This provides a better understanding towards the goals of agriculture. The book also offers updated information and views on crop physiology and a short summary on the state of the art in genome mapping. … provides new views for those who commenced working on functional genomics, which will definitely be the major route in the future to eliminate the genotype-phenotype gap and it will become the major method for improving crop productivity for non-adequate environmental conditions, so that agriculture can provide us with high quality foods for the increasing population on our planet. In addition, the book is also a good example of the strong commitment of the Rockefeller Foundation and US – Israel Bi-national Agricultural Research and Development Fund (BARD) to develop future agricultural needs.”
