Section 1 Genomics and market assisted breeding -- Genomic in situ hybridization in Triticeae: a methodological approach -- SRAP molecular marker technology in plant science -- Genetic dissection of blackleg resistance loci in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) -- Molecular markers and market-assisted breeding -- Marker assisted selection for common bean diseases improvements in Tanzania: prospects and future needs -- Section 2 Crop breeding for complex phenotypes -- Castor breeding -- Breeding for drought resistance using whole plant architecture - conventional and molecular approach -- Breeding to improve a symbiotic effectiveness of legumes -- Opium poppy: genetic upgradation through intervention of plant breeding techniques -- Participatory plant quality breeding: an ancient art revisited by knowledge sharing. The Portuguese experience.
"Altering the traits of plants for the purpose of generation of desired characteristics is referred to as plant breeding. Breeding of crop plants in order to make them more adapted to human agriculture systems has been in practice for the past 10,000 years. However, the invention of the Mendelian principles of genetics and the consequent development of quantitative genetics in the 20th century has resulted in genetic crop enhancement. In the past 50 years, plant breeding has commenced a molecular era based on molecular tools to analyze RNA, proteins and DNA and relate such molecular outcomes with plant phenotype. These marker trait relations develop rapidly in order to allow more effective breeding. The aim of this book is to provide important information to the readers regarding this field and serve as a valuable source of reference."--Back cover
