Molecular Plant BreedingAuthor(s): Yunbi Xu\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: CABI Publishing, United Kingdom\nImprint: CABI Publishing\nISBN-13: 9781845933920, 978-1845933920\nSynopsis\nRecent advances in plant genomics and molecular biology have revolutionized our understanding of plant genetics, providing new opportunities for more efficient and controllable plant breeding. Successful techniques require a solid understanding of the underlying molecular biology as well as experience in applied plant breeding. Bridging the gap between developments in biotechnology and its applications in plant improvement, Molecular Plant Breeding provides an integrative overview of issues from basic theories to their applications to crop improvement including molecular marker technology, gene mapping, genetic transformation, quantitative genetics, and breeding methodology.
