Plant breeding is the art and science of changing the genetics of
plants for the benefit of humankind. A major goal of plant breeders
is to select genotypes with stable and high performing phenotypes
across environments. However, a selected genotype often performs
differently across environments. This book presents a comprehensive
review of various stability analysis methods and their application
in plant breeding for selection of stable and high performing
genotypes. Additionally, efficient methods to produce doubled
haploid plants and to provide embryogenic suitable haploid cells
systems are needed for future genetic manipulations and breeding in
bread and durum wheat. This book describes a new stress in durum
wheat, for its effectiveness to induce embryogenesis and
regeneration plants. Along with its implications for plant
selection, the methods used for dose-response variation are also
explored, as well as the relationship between genetic variation and
changes in dose-response behaviour. Other chapters in this book
discuss the breeding strategy of self-incompatibility, an
evolutionary force to preserve genetic variability in plants, the
pros and cons of marker-assisted selection (MAS) breeding along
with its future prospects, and the use of Joint Regression Analysis
(JRA) in the management of plant breeding programs.
