Outlining successful breeding techniques to augment the yields of
the world's major crops, this reference analyzes the physiological
and genetic basis for past and potential future increases in crop
yields.;Covering crops with wide differences in morphology,
photosynthetic rates, and nitrogen metabolisms, Genetic Improvement
of Field Crops: investigates the changes produced by breeders in
the physiological attributes affecting wheat grain yield and
nitrogen content during the last century; discusses those crop
characteristics of oats that have already been altered or might be
manipulated through breeding to further increase yield potential;
describes several genetic factors responsible for both yield
potential and stress resistance in barley; offers insights into the
relationship between increases in the yield potential and stress
tolerance of corn; examines the evolution of sunflower crop yields
and yield stability and estimates the contribution of improved
cultivars; evaluates the effects of breeding on tuber
characteristics related to the crop growth and yield of the potato;
elucidates the possibilities for simultaneous improvement of yield
and fiber strength in cotton; and identifies the features to be
considered in the development of high yielding varieties of rice
for different agricultural systems.;Providing nearly 1600 key
literature citations allowing further in-depth study of particular
topics, Genetic Improvement of Field Crops is for plant
physiologists and breeders, crop and agricultural scientists,
agronomists, biochemists, geneticists, biotechnologists,
microbiologists, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate
students in these disciplines.
