Plant Breeding (cabi) - Molecular
: High-throughput technologies that allow for the study of an organism's entire genetic makeup.
The book, primarily authored by , bridges the gap between theoretical molecular biology and practical field breeding. It details the tools and techniques used to identify, manipulate, and track specific genes that control important agricultural traits like yield, disease resistance, and climate resilience. Key areas covered include: Molecular Plant Breeding (Cabi)
: How breeders use DNA testing to select the best plants at the seedling stage, saving years of field trials. : High-throughput technologies that allow for the study
: The development and evaluation of genetically modified (GM) crops. Why It Is Significant Key areas covered include: : How breeders use
Published by CABI, is a comprehensive academic text that serves as a foundational guide for understanding how biotechnology and genomics are integrated into traditional crop improvement. Core Focus and Content
: The use of RFLPs, SSRs, and SNPs to track genetic variation.
: Techniques for locating specific genes on a chromosome.
