Raising crop yields: The missing links from molecular biology to plant breeding
Rapid advances in molecular biology and functional genomics during the last two decades have created considerable optimism about their potential to increase global food production by raising the yields of major agricultural crops via breeding of new crop varieties. However, yield increases achieved...
