In a world where there is more starvation than ever, genetically engineered crops may be the only viable, long-term way to improve the security of the world's food supply. Within the last decade, there has been an explosion of research in both the public and private sectors in the use of plant genetic models for the purpose of improving crop yield. ''Model Plants and Crop Improvement'' provides a critical assessment of the potential of the model plant species for crop improvement. This timely volume is the first comprehensive summary for studying the development of plant species of particular agricultural significance. It brings together experts from across the globe to summarize the achievements and the limitations of the model plant model.
