| THE REVISED EDITION OF THE BESTSELLING TEXTBOOK, COVERING BOTH CLASSICAL AND MOLECULAR PLANT BREEDING
Principles of Plant Genetics and Breeding, Third Edition integrates theory and practice to provide an insightful examination of the fundamental principles and advanced techniques of modern plant breeding. Combining both classical and molecular tools, this comprehensive textbook describes the multidisciplinary strategies used to produce new varieties of crops and plants, particularly in response to the increasing demands to of growing populations. Illustrated chapters cover a wide range of topics, including plant reproductive systems, germplasm for breeding, molecular breeding, the common objectives of plant breeders, marketing and societal issues, and more.
Now in its third edition, this essential textbook contains extensively revised content that reflects recent advances and current practices. Substantial updates have been made to its molecular genetics and breeding sections, including discussions of new breeding techniques such as zinc finger nuclease, oligonucleotide directed mutagenesis, RNA-dependent DNA methylation, reverse breeding, genome editing, and others. A new table enables efficient comparison of an expanded list of molecular markers, including Allozyme, RFLPs, RAPD, SSR, ISSR, DAMD, AFLP, SNPs and ESTs. Also, new and updated "Industry Highlights" sections provide examples of the practical application of plant breeding methods to real-world problems. This new edition:
* Organizes topics to reflect the stages of an actual breeding project
* Incorporates the most recent technologies in the field, such as CRSPR genome edition and grafting on GM stock
* Includes numerous illustrations and end-of-chapter self-assessment questions, key references, suggested readings, and links to relevant websites
* Features a companion website containing additional artwork and instructor resources
Principles of Plant Genetics and Breeding offers researchers and professionals an invaluable resource and remains the ideal textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduates in plant science, particularly those studying plant breeding, biotechnology, and genetics. |
