This book contains 12 chapters focusing on the breeding aspects, i.e. genetics and breeding, intersubgenomic heterosis, induced mutagenesis and allele mining, seed quality modifications and genomics, and the management of diseases, such as Albugo candida and Alternaria species, insect pests and abiotic stresses, in rapeseed-mustard.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
