Agriculture depends on improved cultivars, and cultivars are developed through proper plant breeding. This loss of public support affects breeding continuity, objectivity, and, perhaps equally important, the training of future plant breeders and the utilization and improvement of plant genetic resources currently available.mehr

KlappentextAgriculture depends on improved cultivars, and cultivars are developed through proper plant breeding. This loss of public support affects breeding continuity, objectivity, and, perhaps equally important, the training of future plant breeders and the utilization and improvement of plant genetic resources currently available.
ZusammenfassungThe objective of this volume is to increase the utilization of useful genetic resources and to raise awareness of the value of plant breeding and biotechnology. These, it argues, should lead to more sustainable crop production and ultimately food security.

Kritik
From the reviews: "This volume brings together a panel of international experts in the field to summarize the current state of progress in breeding cereal crops. Chapters describe genetic backgrounds, germplasm and molecular resources, major breeding achievements, and current breeding goals for most of the major cereal crops, excluding oats. ... this volume nicely summarizes the current state of the field and will thus be an excellent resource for students and practitioners. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduate through professional collections." (R. M. Warner, Choice, Vol. 47 (1), September, 2009)mehr

Autor

Marcelo Carena is Associate Professor from the Department of Plant Sciences at the North Dakota State University (NDSU), Fargo, ND, USA. Since 1999, Dr. Carena is the Director of the NDSU Corn Breeding and Genetics Program, the most northern public corn research program in North America focused on increasing genetic diversity, drought tolerance, and grain quality in early maturing maize. He teaches Quantitative Genetics and Crop Breeding Techniques at NDSU. Prof. Carena is currently Editor of Euphytica and Maydica, and Chair of the Crop Science Society of America Maize Registration Committee. Dr. Carena has trained five Ph.D. and eight MS students, two Visiting Scientists, and several interns over the past 10 years. In the same time, he has released eight early maturing corn inbred lines, has released four improved early maturing populations, and has published over 50 scientific papers, abstracts, book chapters, and editions on corn breeding and genetics.
