This book attempts to present a readable format on plant breeding
principles and their application, based on the collective
experience of the three authors, but with a heavy dependence on the

communicated in an interesting, appealing, and understandable
fashion. In preparing the text, every effort has been made to
translate pertinent plant breeding references into a clear,
logical, and comprehensible format for those studying the
challenging and dynamic field of plant breeding.
