Contents:
Concept and aim of plant breeding -- Hybridizing plants -- Polyploidy in plant breeding -- Utilization of plant genetic resources in crop breeding -- Molecular mapping and breeding of physiological traits -- Genetic engineering of plants -- Plant tissue culture techniques -- The characteristics and frequency of plant transformation -- Growth, development and plant reproduction -- The immediate genetic effects of cross-fertilization -- The genetics of inbreeding depression -- Plant propagation -- Propagation and nursery management -- Propagation of fruit trees and other plants -- Applications of quantitative genetic theory in plant breeding
Summary: “International development agencies believe that breeding new crops is important for ensuring food security by developing new varieties that are higher-yielding, resistant to pests and diseases, drought-resistant or regionally adapted to different environments and growing conditions. Plant breeding is the art and science of changing the traits of plants in order to produce desired characteristics while Plant propagation is the process of creating new plants from a variety of sources: seeds. Cuttings, bulbs and other plant parts. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the principles and practices used in plant breeding and propagation. The book offers the most recent detailed knowledge of plant production and their environmental interaction discussing the basic concepts of genetics and all modern methods and advance techniques of plant breeding. The book is prepared in a relatively easy to understand manner with clear explanations that will help the reader to understand and visualize most concepts. The students, researchers, professionals and others interested in the field of plant breeding, botany, agriculture horticulture and allied sciences will find this book useful and informative.”--Back cover
