Publisher description

Contents:

Plant breeding and biotechnological advances -- Molecular markers -- Biometrics applied to molecular analysis in genetic diversity -- Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) -- Genome-wide selection (GWS) -- Genes prospection -- Tissue culture applications for the genetic improvement of plants -- Transgenic plants -- Double haploids -- Tools for the future breeder.

Summary: "Biotechnology and Plant Breeding includes critical discussion of the newest and most important applications of biotechnology in plant breeding, covering key topics such as biometry applied to molecular analysis of genetic diversity, and genetically modified plants. This work goes beyond recombinant DNA technology to bring together key information and references on new biotech tools for cultivar development, such as double-haploids, molecular markers, and genome-wide selection, among others." -- Back cover.
