Current Plant Science and Biotechnology in Agriculture VOLUME 36

Scientific Editor R.J. Summerfield, The University of Reading, Department ofAgriculture, P.O. Box 236, Reading RG62AT, Berkshire, UK Scientific AdvisO/~y Board D.F. Bezdicek, Washington State University, Pullman, USA J. Denecke, University of York, York, UK G.O. Edmeades, CIMMYT, Mexico J.

Jacobsen, Universitiit Hannover; Hannover, Germany Aims and Scope The book series is intended for readers ranging from advanced students to senior research scientists and corporate directors interested in acquiring in-depth, state-of-the-art knowledge about research findings and techniques related to all aspects of agricultural biotechnology. Although the previous volumes in the series dealt with plant science and biotechnology, the aim is now to also include volumes dealing with animals science, food science and microbiology. While the subject matter will relate more particularly to agricultural applications, timely topics in basic science and biotechnology will also be explored. Some volumes will report progress in rapidly advancing disciplines through proceedings of symposia and workshops while others will detail fundamental information of an enduring nature that will be referenced repeatedly.

The titles published in this series are listed at the end of this volume.
