The contributions of plant genetics to the production of higher
yielding crops of superior quality are well documented. These
successes have been realized through the application of plant
breeding techniques to a diverse array of genetically controlled
traits. Such highly effective breeding procedures will continue to
be the primary method employed for the development of new crop
cultivars; however, new techniques in cell and molecular biology
will provide additional approaches for genetic modification. There
has been considerable speculation recently concerning the potential
impact of new techniques in cell and molecular biology on plant
improvement. These genetic engineering techniques should offer
unique opportunities to alter the genetic makeup of crops if
applied to existing breeding procedures. Many questions must be
answered in order to identify specific applications of these new
technologies. This search for applications will require input from
plant scientists working on various aspects of crop improvement.
This volume is intended to assess the interrelationships between
conventional plant breeding and genetic engineering.
