Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars from 6 ratings
  • Excellent insights into an unknown world

    Plant breeding is not on most people’s radar, even though we all eat plants that are the results of breeding efforts every day. This is an interesting look into this world’s research forefront and of machine learning applied to it. Highly recommended!
