view than its own proper males should fecundate each blossom."
ANDREW KNIGHT Philosophical Transactions, 1799 Pollination
mechanisms and reproduction have a decisive bearing upon rational
procedures in plant breeding and crop production. This book intends
to furnish' under one cover an integrated botanical, genetical and
breeding-methodologi cal treatment of the reproductive biology of
spermatophytes mainly angiosperms; it is based on an advanced
topical course in plant breeding taught at the Hebrew University of
Jerusa lem. We have tried to present a coverage which is concise,
but as comprehensive as possible, of the pollination mechanism and
modes of reproduction of higher plants, and to illustrate topics,
whenever practicable, by examples from cultivated plants.
Nevertheless, some relevant publications may have escaped our
attention or may not be mentioned because of various limitations.
The book is organized into three parts. The first part starts with
an evaluation of the significance of the different pollination
mechanisms for plant breeding and crop produc tion, describes modes
of reproduction in higher plants and discusses ecology and dynamics
of pollination. The second part is devoted to crops propagated by
self pollination and describes specific breeding procedures for
such crops. The third part details sexual reproduction in higher
plants and handles three mechanisms involved in the prevention of
self pollination and their utilization in plant breeding: sex
expres sion, incompatibility, and male sterility."
