Genotypic Differences in Tolerance to Manganese Deficiency

  • Chapter
Manganese in Soils and Plants

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant and Soil Sciences ((DPSS,volume 33))

Abstract

An alternative to the strategy of correcting Mn-deficient soils is to breed crop varieties more tolerant of the soil condition. The basic ingredient in such a breeding program, the genetic diversity which exists in the plant kingdom for tolerance, is the main subject of this chapter. But the mere existence of suitable genetic diversity is not enough to justify a breeding program; there must also be a compelling agronomic case for it, which is also the province of this chapter, although the underlying chemistry and microbiology is established fully in other chapters.
