Descrição
Resumo:Noting that plant breeding has been described as a numbers game with the goal of creating superior genotypes for successful new cultivars, Brown (plant breeding and genetics, U. of Idaho) and Caligari (plant biology and biotechnology, U. de Talca, Chile) introduce private and public sector breeders' characteristics and objectives; natural and human selection in the evolution of crop species; and technical, practical, and ethical considerations in breeding programs for genetically-modified crop plants. Chapters include genetic analyses and critical thinking questions, but the textbook/professional resource surprisingly lacks references.
