Cereals and pseudocereals - John Trevor Williams

The world continues to depend heavily upon a relatively small
range of crops for food, fuel, fibre and industrial use, while many
potentially good, economically acceptable alternatives exist. This
book, which is the second in a series looking at underutilized crops,
provides thorough details of those underutilized cereals and
pseudocereals which are currently benefiting from research and others
which have been neglected and deserve more research attention.
Cereals and Pseudocereals considers in detail the potential for the
following crops: quinoa, buckwheat, grain amaranth, triticale, fonio,
intermediate wheatgrass and wild rice. Under the guidance of the
International Centre for Underutilized Crops, the contents of this
book have been drawn together by Professor Williams, who has wide
research experience in the exploitation of new crops. The contents of
this book will be of great interest and use to a wide range of people
involved in work on the greater exploitation of currently
underutilized crops, including upper level students in agricultural,
plant and food sciences, researchers in development agencies and
scientists working directly on improvement and exploitation of this
group of crops.
