Preface
During the last one hundred years, cytogenetics has made a significant
contribution to the progress and development of concepts in different areas of
genetics, breeding and evolution of higher plants. This became possible due to
the publication of voluminous original work and a large number of reviews on
different aspects of plant cytogenetics in many journals and reference books.
More recently, however, new research areas such as molecular genetics or
biotechnology, including tissue culture, gene transfer, etc., are becoming more
popular among plant research workers. With the development of newer
techniques of molecular biology, we are now in a position to explore in more
detail the genetic architecture of chromosomes and their function at a level not
hitherto possible. However, these studies require a knowledge of existing
information on different aspects of cytogenetics. For example, only limited
information is available on the plant material generated through the use of
molecular approaches for gene transfer. It has also been well documented that
traits expressed due to alien genetic material transferred to well established
cultivars may be associated with a variety of unexpected cytogenetic and
physiological abnormalities due to disturbed genetic balance. These and many
other aspects need to be examined cytogenetically when newer techniques of
molecular biology are applied in a variety of plant materials for basic genetic
studies as well as for practical plant breeding.
Keeping in view the above and also the recent rapid progress being made in
the field of plant molecular genetics, it would be welcome if the accumulated
information on plant cytogenetics became available in the form of a collection
of review articles encompassing the whole range of plant cytogenetics. Such a
reference work would be helpful to newcomers in plant research areas
particularly to those who are not familiar with the previous achievements made
in this fascinating research area. The present book in two parts (Part A and
Part B) was undertaken to meet this need for the benefit of plant scientists
working either at the classical level or at the molecular level.
vi Preface
The decision to publish the present set of two volumes on chromosome
research in plants was taken by the editors at an informal meeting at Fort
Collins, Colorado in November, 1983. It was recognized by the editors that an
earlier book Cytogenetics of Crop Plants co-edited by one of the present
editors and published by MacMillan India Limited, on the occasion of XV
International Congress of Genetics held in New Delhi, had a narrow scope,
since many plant systems that made a significant contribution to the cytogenet
ics of plants could not be included. Further, since this earlier book was
subsidized by National Book Trust of India it could not be marketed outside
India. The readers, hopefully, will find that the purpose for which these
volumes were planned has largely been achieved. The editors also hope that
these two volumes will not only provide useful information to molecular
biologists and biotechnologists, but will also serve as an eye opener to the
young as well as established cytogeneticists, who should develop new ideas and
may like to initiate research in newer areas of plant cytogenetics. It will be
noticed that while some chapters deal mainly with previous achievements,
others present new ideas and describe the on-going and upcoming experiments
in newer areas.
The editors would like to thank all the authors who cooperated throughout
the process of production of these two volumes. Thanks are also due to
Professor F. M. Catarino, the Editor, Portugaliae Acta Biologica for permis
sion to reprint as Chapter 2 of Part A, an article by A. Levan and A. Muntzing
from Vol. 7 (1963) of this journal, and to Professor David Wilson, the Director
of the Welsh Plant Breeding Station, Institute for Grassland and Animal
Production, UK, for permission to reprint as Chapter 20 of Part B, an article
by M. Borrill from the 1977 Annual Report of the Institute. Finally, we would
like to express our sincere appreciation to the members of Editorial Services,
Elsevier Science Publishers, who have patiently cooperated with us, without
which this work would not have been published in its present form.
