Biotechnology and Plant Breeding: Applications and Approaches for Developing Improved Cultivars - Amsterdam Bio-Green Elsevier 2014 - 257p.

Book Description About the Book: Biotechnology and Plant Breeding: Applications and Approaches for Developing Improved Cultivars Biotechnology and Plant Breeding includes critical discussions of the newest and most important applications of biotechnology in plant breeding, covering key topics such as biometry applied to molecular analysis of genetic diversity, genetically modified plants, and more. This work goes beyond recombinant DNA technology to bring together key information and references on new biotech tools for cultivar development, such as double-haploids, molecular markers, and genome-wide selection, among others. It is increasingly challenging for plant breeders and agricultural systems to supply enough food, feed, fiber and biofuel for the global population. As plant breeding evolves
