Plant
Breeding for Stress Environments
This is a compilation of selected resources
on plant breeding for stress environments available on this
web site. These resources are dealing
with stress-plant-breeding in the narrow-sense. The wider aspects of
breeding, biotechnology and genetics in plant stress can be found by browsing
this web site under 'Stresses', 'References', 'Biotech Issues', 'Recent
Reviews' and more.
