Book Synopsis Plant Mutation Breeding for Crop Improvement by : International Atomic Energy Agency
Download or read book Plant Mutation Breeding for Crop Improvement written by International Atomic Energy Agency and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceedings of a symposium jointly organized by the IAEA and FAO, Vienna, 18-22 June 1990. The technology of mutation induction has been accepted by plant breeders as a valuable additional tool for creating improved cultivars for agriculture and horticulture. It was amply demonstrated at the symposium that this technique has been applied with great success in many annual seed propagated crops such as rice, barley, wheat, cotton, soybean and pea. The technological problems identified primarily concerned vegetatively propagated crops and, in general, the logistic difficulties in identifying desirable mutants in large mutagenized populations.

Download or read book Plant Breeding and Genetics written by Raimund Scheinberg and published by . This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The evolution from hunting and gathering to farming happened about 10,000 years ago, independently and diffusely in several places in the world. Plant breeding has been part of agriculture since its beginning. Plant breeding is a critical tool in the fight for food security and responsible environmental stewardship in the 21st century. For more than one hundred years, Plant Breeding and Genetics has been widely recognized for developing novel breeding methodologies and discovering economically important genes and varieties. In fact, it is difficult to say whether agriculture influenced plant breeding or vice-versa. Most probably, both have evolved together towards enhancing the quality and yield of cultivated crops. From the beginning of agriculture until today, plant breeding has undergone many changes but even more changes are likely to occur in the future. During the last 50 years plant breeding has entered a molecular era based on molecular tools to analyze DNA, RNA and proteins and associate such molecular results with plant phenotype. Breeding better cultivars has become a highly efficient way to improve plant production for yield, quality and reduced input. Still plant breeders, scientists as well as society have ample interest in widespread public understanding of the use of new as well as old technologies for improvement of our cultivated plants. This is not least to avoid future communication problems with the general public like experienced with genetically modified plants during recent years. This volume Plant Breeding and Genetics aims to present some of the recent advances of 21st century plant breeding, exemplifying novel views, approaches, research efforts, achievements, challenges and perspectives in breeding of some crop species. The book chapters have presented the latest advances and comprehensive information on selected topics that will enhance the reader's knowledge of contemporary plant breeding. It also provides some updated discussions on current advances, challenges, and future perspectives of plant genome studies and applications. The book should prove useful to students, researchers, and experts in the area of conservation biology, genetic diversity, and molecular biology. "

This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flowers are the precious gift which beautify the nature through its different colours and enhance human health. Ornamental plants provide environmental security for immediate living surroundings, thus intensive research in floriculture particularly on the crops were initiated earlier. This book will vividly highlights genetical and breeding application in flower crops covering wide range of aspects. Breeding techniques are largely focused around expediting the production of superior and stable lines in the case of self pollinating crops. Wide hybridization, tissue culture and mutagenesis are employed by breeders to generate new alleles. Broaden available genetic resources; molecular markers are used to assist breeders through marker assisted selection and to identify quantitative trait loci for traits of interest. The book makes the knowhow of breeding in its easiest way to the readers. It has been designed to cover all the aspects of breeding, the basic objectives, different breeding methods, methodology for improvement of specific crops, stress resistance, quality improvement, mutagenesis, molecular breeding and genetic engineering.
