The revised edition of the bestselling textbook, covering both
classical and molecular plant breeding Principles of Plant Genetics
and Breeding integrates theory and practice to provide an
insightful examination of the fundamental principles and advanced
techniques of modern plant breeding. Combining both classical and
molecular tools, this comprehensive textbook describes the
multidisciplinary strategies used to produce new varieties of crops
and plants, particularly in response to the increasing demands to
of growing populations. Illustrated chapters cover a wide range of
topics, including plant reproductive systems, germplasm for
breeding, molecular breeding, the common objectives of plant
breeders, marketing and societal issues, and more. Now in its third
edition, this essential textbook contains extensively revised
content that reflects recent advances and current practices.
Substantial updates have been made to its molecular genetics and
breeding sections, including discussions of new breeding techniques
such as zinc finger nuclease, oligonucleotide directed mutagenesis,
RNA-dependent DNA methylation, reverse breeding, genome editing,
and others. A new table enables efficient comparison of an expanded
list of molecular markers, including Allozyme, RFLPs, RAPD, SSR,
ISSR, DAMD, AFLP, SNPs and ESTs. Also, new and updated "Industry
Highlights" sections provide examples of the practical application
of plant breeding methods to real-world problems. This new edition:
Organizes topics to reflect the stages of an actual breeding
project Incorporates the most recent technologies in the field,
such as CRSPR genome edition and grafting on GM stock Includes
numerous illustrations and end-of-chapter self-assessment
questions, key references, suggested readings, and links to
relevant websites Features a companion website containing
additional artwork and instructor resources Principles of Plant
Genetics and Breeding offers researchers and professionals an
invaluable resource and remains the ideal textbook for advanced
undergraduates and graduates in plant science, particularly those
studying plant breeding, biotechnology, and genetics.
