Written for plant breeders, researchers and post-graduate students,
this book provides a comprehensive review of the methods and
underlying theoretical foundations used for selection in plant
breeding programmes. The authors review basic elements of
population and quantitative genetic theory, and consider in a
unique way the tackling of the problems presented by soil
heterogeneity and intergenotypic competition when selecting
quantitative characters. The efficacy of different methods with
regard to developing new varieties of crops are discussed for
different modes of reproduction. This work provides a sound basis
for informed decision making within the process of a selection
programme.
