Horticultural Plant Breeding is a complete and comprehensive
resource for the development of new cultivars or clones of
horticultural crops. It covers the basic theories that underpin
plant breeding and applies Mendelian, quantitative and population
inheritance practices in smaller populations where the individual
plant has high value. Specific traditional breeding methods are
also covered, with an emphasis on how these methods are adapted for
horticultural species. In addition, the integration of
biotechnologies with traditional breeding methodologies is
explored, with an emphasis on specific applications for fruits,
vegetables and ornamental crop species. Presented in focused
sections, Horticultural Plant Breeding addresses historical
perspectives and context, and genetics as a critical foundation of
plant breeding. It highlights treatments of the various components
of breeding programs, such as breeding objectives, germplasm,
population engineering, mating systems, enhanced selection methods,
established breeding methods applicable to inbreeding and
outcrossing situations, and post-breeding activities.
