Learn to integrate molecular genetic techniques with traditional
plant breeding methods This comprehensive book provides the latest
authoritative scientific information on improvement of both
temperate and tropical crops. Crop Improvement: Challenges in the
Twenty-First Century brings together expert plant breeders and
geneticists to address issues related to crop adaptability and
stability across environments for important food and fiber crops.
It emphasizes the need to integrate molecular genetic techniques
with traditional plant breeding methods to develop hardier, more
productive crops. Crop Improvement includes the latest research on
physiological and biochemical responses of plants to drought and
heat stress, which should help breeders develop effective
strategies for improving resistance to abiotic stresses. In
addition, this helpful book elucidates the use of mixed models and
best linear unbiased prediction. To make the book comprehensive,
chapters discuss stability analysis in crop performance trials and
genotype-by-environment interactions.Crop Improvement includes
detailed information on breeding specific crops, including: rice
tropical maize sorghum common bean sugar beet bananas and plantain
cottonCrop Improvement offers both practical information and
up-to-date research. It also suggests a vision of new directions
and partnerships that are expected to evolve in this century. This
book is an essential resource for practicing plant breeders and
geneticists at universities, government agencies, and industry. It
should also be of use to teachers and students engaged in crop
breeding.
