Principles of Plant Breeding for PGR Management [Hardcover]

Aiming to bridge the gap between traditional plant breeding principles and modern advancements, this book focuses on the management of plant genetic resources (PGR) to cover the classical and contemporary techniques to meet the growing challenges of global food security, climate change, and agricultural sustainability. Emphasizing the importance of conserving and utilizing genetic diversity, the subject matter of this book also covers:

• Breeding Methods of Crops
• Mapping Populations
• Selection Methods in Plant Breeding
• Plant Genetic Resources
• Biotic and Abiotic Stresses

This work is ideal for postgraduate programs in Genetics, Plant Breeding, and Biotechnology, and will also be of interest to extension personnel and policymakers involved in crop improvement and germplasm management.

This title has been co-published with Elite Publishing House. Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the print edition in India.
