Bibliography of plant genetic resources

IT CONTAINS MORE VOLUMINOUS REFERENCES ON CROP ORIGINS AND THEIR VARIATION AND EVOLUTION. ALSO INCLUDED ARE RELEVANT ASPECTS OF EXPLORATION, SAMPLING THEORY, VARIATION, ADAPTATION, GENECOLOGY, GENETICS, CYTOGENETICS, ECOPHYSIOLOGY, SEED AND TISSUE CONSERVATION, BIOCHEMISTRY, TAXONOMY, BIOSYSTEMATICS, AND ARCHAEOLOGY, WHERE THESE HAVE A BEARING ON GENETIC RESOURCES. THE LITERATURE ON MAJOR STAPLE FOOD CROPS AND IMPORTANT INDUSTRIAL CROPS IS INCLUDED. THE LITERATURE ON CROPS IS FOCUSED ON PRIMITIVE FORMS AND RELATED WILD SPECIES, AS WELL AS THE TAXONOMY, ORIGIN, AND EVOLUTIONARY ADVANCES WITHIN THE CROPS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS EMPHASIS WAS TO HELP CLARIFY THE USE WHICH MAY BE MADE OF THEM BY PLANT BREEDERS NOW AND IN THE FUTURE. CITATIONS RELATING TO CEREALS INCLUDE LITERATURE ON WHEAT, OATS, RYE, MAIZE, BARLEY, SORGHUM, AND RICE; FOR ROOTS AND TUBERS, POTATO, SWEET POTATO, CASSAVA, SOUTH AMERICAN MINOR TUBERS, AND AORIDS; FOR FIBERS, COTTON; FOR SUGAR AND STARCH PLANT, SUGAR CANE, BEETS, AND YAMS; FOR STIMULANTS, TOBACCO, TEA, COFFEE, AND COCOA; FOR OIL PLANTS, SEASAME, SUNFLOWER, SAFFLOWER, OIL PALM, PEANUT, COCONUT; FOR DATES AND OTHER PALMS, PHOENIX, ETC.; FOR MINOR CROP PLANTS, CHILI PEPPERS AND RUBBER; FOR TEMPERATE FRUITS, VINE; FOR TROPICAL FRUITS, PINEAPPLE, CITRUS, DURIAN, MANGO, BANANA, BREADFRUIT; FOR VEGETABLES, ONION AND GARLIC, BRASSICAS, CUCURBITS, CARROT, LETTUCE, TOMATO, PHASEOLUS, BROAD BEAN, VIGNA, PEA, SOY, CHICKPEA, LENTIL, AND OTHER TROPICAL LEGUMES.
