The field of plant breeding covers a broad range of different species and categories of plants. While there are many techniques and issues that are similar across these species, there are many more that are unique to each category of species. The Handbook of Plant Breeding is organized by major crop categories and includes the most up-to-date molecular techniques being used. It will serve as a resource for plant breeding laboratories in both the university and industrial setting. More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/7290
