Biotechnology of Neglected and Underutilized Crops

The world food supply depends on few crops species, termed as 'major crops'. Almost 95% of the world food requirement is met by 30 plant species. There is a great need to broaden the exploitation of the plant genetic diversity in order to avoid dependence on few food crops. The neglected c...
