Biographical note
Dr. Prabhu Dayal Meena is Principal Scientist (Plant Pathology) at ICAR-Indian Institute of Rapeseed Mustard Research. He has conducted research on different aspects of rapeseed-mustard diseases, including host resistance, management, epidemiology, biology of crucifer's pathogens and also reported three new pathogens of rapeseed-mustard. He has been associated in the development of six high yielding varieties and registered seven traits of specific genotypes of rapeseed-mustard. He has published over 120 research papers, reviews, book chapters and several books.
Oilseed brassicas are among the largest traded agricultural commodities and are grown in around fifty countries worldwide. Utilised for both consumption and bioenergy use, demand is increasing and this book covers the entire gamut of oilseed brassicas. Beginning with an introduction and then organised into two sections, it reviews genetics and genomics (including breeding, heterosis and selection methods) and stress management and important pathogens, to provide a complete overview of brassica oilseeds.
