About this product
Product Information
The genetic variability that developed in plants during their evolution forms the basis of their domestication and breeding into the crops grown today for food, fuel and other industrial uses. This third edition of Plant Evolution and the Origin of Crop Species brings the subject up-to-date, with more emphasis on crop origins. Beginning with a description of the processes of evolution in native and cultivated plants, the book reviews the origins of crop domestication and their subsequent development over time. All major crop species are discussed, including cereals, protein plants, starch crops, fruits and vegetables, from their origins to conservation of their genetic resources for future development.

Humans and the crop species that they have domesticated are intimately connected both ecologically and evolutionarily. Understanding the origin of crop species is of immense interest for food security planning and for maintaining crop diversity; it is also improtant because it provides a unique system in which to examine evolutionary processes. In this revised edition (2nd ed., CH, Jul'04, 41-6517; 1st ed., 1991), Hancock (Michigan State Univ.) addresses the origin and evolution of crop species in two parts. The first part contains introductory chapters reviewing key crop genetics and evolutionary biology topics, with useful end-of-chapter summaries. The second part reviews the origins of agriculture and includes separate chapters on each of the major groups of crop species. The final chapter discusses maintenance and conservation of diversity and genetic variability in crop species. Notably absent from this updated third edition is new discussion of modern breeding methods; however, it continues to serve as a valuable reference on the origin of crop species and their evolution. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers/faculty.|9781780644776|

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
