Considerable interest has developed over the years in crucifers and particularly in their wild relatives. This book includes research on biology, breeding, and the genetic diversity of the brassica species. It offers information on the evolution and phylogenies of crucifers, cytogenetics, biotechnology and haploidy breeding in crucifers.
