Plant Breeding Abstracts is a fully searchable abstracts database subset of internationally published research. Plant Breeding Abstracts brings you the latest information on crop breeding, genetics and biotechnology, from wild relatives to new cultivars, from gene expression to inheritance, and from traditional breeding techniques to use of the latest technology, for example, in the production of transgenic plants.
