"Biotechnology and Plant Breeding" includes critical discussions
of the newest and most important applications of biotechnology in
plant breeding, covering key topics such as biometry applied to
molecular analysis of genetic diversity, genetically modified
plants, and more. This work goes beyond recombinant DNA technology
to bring together key information and references on new biotech
tools for cultivar development, such as double-haploids, molecular
markers, and genome-wide selection, among others.
It is increasingly challenging for plant breeders and
agricultural systems to supply enough food, feed, fiber and biofuel
for the global population. As plant breeding evolves and becomes
increasingly sophisticated, a staggering volume of genetic data is
now generated. "Biotechnology and Plant Breeding" helps researchers
and students become familiar with how the vast amounts of genetic
data are generated, stored, analyzed and applied.
This practical resource integrates information about plant
breeding into the context of modern science, and assists with
training for plant breeders including those scientists who have a
good understanding of molecular biology/biotechnology and need to
learn the art and practice of plant breeding. Plant biologists,
breeding technicians, agronomists, seed technologists, students,
and any researcher interested in biotechnologies applied to plant
breeding will find this work an essential tool and reference for
the field.
Presents in-depth but easy-to-understand coverage of topics, so
plant breeders can readily comprehend them and apply them to their
breeding programs Includes chapters that address the already
developed and optimized biotechnologies for cultivar development,
with real-world application for usersFeatures contributions by
authors with several years of experience in their areas of
expertise
