"Rice Genetics IV"
Proceedings of the Fourth International Rice Genetics Symposium
edited by
G.S. Khush, D.S. Brar, and B. Hardy
Science Publishers, November 2001, 500 pages. $ 88.00 + shipping ($5.00, U.S. or $15.00 Elsewhere)
Renowned geneticists have contributed on a wide range of topics from classical genetics to the most advanced research on sequencing of the rice genome and functional genomics. The volume reviews the latest advances in rice research, and provides a forum for in-depth discussion and exchange of information on classical genetics, biosystematics and evolution, molecular markers, transformation, genome organisation, gene isolation, regulation of gene expression, sequencing of the rice genome, and bioinformatics.
