Description for Plant Breeding for Water-Limited Environments
paperback. This breeder's manual for water-limited environments is unique and timely, offering realistic solutions and protocols for drought resistant cultivars by integrating knowledge from environmental science, plant physiology, genetics and molecular biology. Num Pages: 268 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PST; PSTL. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 14. Weight in Grams: 421.
This volume will be the only existing single-authored book offering a science-based breeder’s manual directed at breeding for water-limited environments. Plant breeding is characterized by the need to integrate information from diverse disciplines towards the development and delivery of a product defines as a new cultivar. Conventional breeding draws information from disciplines such as genetics, plant physiology, plant pathology, entomology, food technology and statistics. Plant breeding for water-limited environments and the development of drought resistant crop cultivars is considered as one of the more difficult areas in plant breeding while at the same time it is becoming a very pressing ...
