Distant Hybridization and Alien Gene Introgression
This chapter reviews the information on the present status of wild gene pools, their evaluation, introgression through distance hybridization and future crossing potential, crossability barriers and means to overcome them, ...
Gene introgression in grain legumes
The wild species of grain legumes are valuable gene pools, particularly for resistance to biotic and
abiotic stresses. These have largely remained under-utilized due to crossability barriers, but there are some examples ...
