Plant Genetics and Breeding Techniques (Volume 1)
About this book
About the Book
Plant Genetics and Breeding Techniques provides a comprehensive exploration of the principles and methodologies used in plant genetics and breeding. The book covers the fundamentals of genetic inheritance, gene mapping and molecular markers, as well as the various breeding techniques, such as traditional crossbreeding, hybridization and modern biotechnological approaches like genetic engineering and CRISPR. It emphasizes the role of plant breeding in improving crop yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and nutritional quality. By integrating both theoretical concepts and practical applications, this volume serves as an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals in plant genetics, agricultural science and biotechnology.
“Collaborative research today builds the resilient communities of tomorrow.”
