Quinoa : botany, production and uses / Atul Bhargava and Shilpi Srivastava. - 1 online resource (xiv, 247 pages) : illustrations, maps, charts
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Historical perspectives and domestication -- Distribution -- Taxonomy -- Cytology and genome size -- Botany -- Crop production and management -- Stress tolerance -- Diseases and pests -- Breeding -- Molecular studies -- Chemistry -- Saponins -- Transparency from production to consumption: new challenges for the quinoa market chain.
Access limited to subscribing institution.
This book provides a comprehensive account of the botany, production and uses of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa). The book is divided into four sections spread over 14 chapters. Part I (chapters 1-3) introduces the readers to the crop, its history and distribution. Part II (chapters 4-5) discusses the taxonomic position based on morphological, cytological and molecular data. Part III (chapters 6-11) is dedicated to agrotechnology and includes chapters on botany, crop production and management, pathology and breeding approaches. Part IV (chapters 12-14) describes the nutritional significance of the crop, and also contains detailed discussion of the antinutritional components. The book aims to stimulate interest in the crop among academics and researchers, both novices and experts, and among those who are increasingly focused on exploiting this underutilized crop.
