From the reviews: "Insightful review of the current state of knowledge and research on genome analysis of these crops, and sorghum particularly. ... this book provides some good in-depth reviews and commentary for those interested in genome analysis of sorghum and some good overviews of activity in certain molecular genetics research fields in sorghum, sugarcane and Miscanthus."
