Darwin's Harvest : New Approaches to the Origins, Evolution, and Conservation of Crops /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

Darwin's Harvest addresses concerns that we are losing the diversity of crop plants that provide food for most of the world. With contributions from evolutionary biologists, geneticists, agronomists, molecular biologists, and anthropologists, this collection discusses how economic development,...
