Includes bibliographical references (pages 627-716) and index.
Introduction -- Molecular breeding tools : markers and maps -- Molecular breeding tools : omics and arrays -- Populations in genetics and breeding -- Plant genetic resources : management, evaluation, and enhancement -- Molecular dissection of complex traits : theory -- Molecular dissection of complex traits : practice -- Marker-assisted selection : theory -- Marker-assisted selection : practice -- Genotype-by-environment interaction -- Isolation and functional analysis of genes -- Gene transfer and genetically modified plants -- Intellectual property rights and plant variety protection -- Breeding informatics -- Decision support tools.
Access limited to subscribing institution.
This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the components (molecular tools and methodologies as well as conventional approaches) that should be integrated within plant breeding programmes for the improvement of crop plants. Although the book has attempted to cover all relevant areas of molecular breeding in plants, many examples have been drawn from the genomics research and molecular breeding of major cereal crops. This book is intended to provide a handbook for biologists, geneticists and breeders, as well as a textbook for final year undergraduates and graduate students specializing in agronomy, genetics, genomics and plant breeding.
