Soft cover. Condición: New. 3rd Edition. Contents: Section 1. Breeding methods. Section 2. Principles and practices in breeding of perennial horticultural crops. Section 3. Principles and practices in breeding of annual horticultural crops. In the last 25 years, research on horticultural crops, particularly on 'crop improvement and breeding' has been taken up by many SAU's and ICAR institutes with the result the genetic base of a number of horticultural crops has been broadened and many improved cultivars have been developed despite the fact the breeding is relatively cumbersome in many horticultural crops vis a vis agricultural crops. The 3rd fully revised and expanded edition has been specially written with the hope that it may provide a satisfactory guidance for students of agriculture and horticulture including applied botany and also for the horticultural enthusiasts. More emphasis has been given in this book to explain the principles and methods of breeding of important Horticulture Crops and also the achievements made in these crops in the development of new cultivars. The book has been designed with the main consideration to serve a dual purpose of being a text and reference. Keeping this thing in mind the entire book has been divided into three major parts. The first part deals with the principles and methods of breeding adopted in horticultural crops propagated both sexually and asexually. The second part deals with the achievements in breeding of perennial horticultural crops. The third part covers achievements made in breeding of annual horticultural crops. …

Hardcover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. This book presents innovative methods of augmenting traditional breeding techniques with modern breeding tools for developing new genotypes in perennial horticultural crops. The scientific information available on perennial crop breeding using the latest advances including the targeted genetic resources, traditional plant breeding methods, parent selection criteria, biotechnological and molecular tools, genomics, phenomics etc. have been included as separate dedicated chapters. Each chapter deals with status and priorities of perennial crop improvement, technological advancements in breeding, genetic resource management and utilisation, besides achievements made in selected perennial horticultural crops including banana, citrus, cucurbits, grape, guava, litchi, mango, papaya, apple, walnut and low chill temperate fruits. Application of in vitro techniques in perennial crop such as embryo rescue, mutation and soma-clonal variations etc. have been discussed. In addition, separate chapter covers techniques adopted in rootstock breeding and genotypes for protected cultivation.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. The modern plant breeding methods have their bases in the genetic and cytogenetic principles. The science of genetic began with rediscovery of Gregor J. Mendel's paper in 1900, which was originally published in 1866. Mendel's laws of inheritance provided the foundation for the vast knowledge that has, since then, accumulated in genetics. Numerous workers who determined the various modes of inheritance have contributed to the development and understanding of plant breeding. The totipotancy of plant somatic and gametic cells allows regeneration of complete plants from single cells. This, coupled with development of recombinant DNA technology, has enabled the transfer of desirable genes from any organism into plants. Crop varieties developed in this manner are already in cultivation in several countries, primarily U.S.A. and world acreage under them is increasing at a very rapid rate. These exciting developments are expected to become increasingly important with time. The main objectives of the book may be summarised as follows: Higher Yields, mproved Quality, Disease and Insect Resistance, Change in Maturity Duration, Agronomic Characteristics, Oilseeds : Major breeding procedures, Fruit Crops: Major Breeding Procedures, Seed Multiplication and Release of a Variety and soon.…
