ISBN: 978-3-319-26588-9 The Joint FAO/IAEA Programme of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture has supported Member States in the use of nuclear techniques in plant breeding and genetics...
Springer Science + Business Media, 2009. — 425 p. — (Handbook of Plant Breeding, 3). ISBN: 978-0-387-72294-8. e-ISBN: 978-0-387-72297-9. Agriculture depends on improved cultivars, and cultivars are developed through proper plant breeding. Unfortunately, applied plant breeding programs that are focused on cereal commodity crops are under serious erosion because of lack of...
CIMMYT, 2012. —132 p. — ISBN: 978-970-648-182-5. This manual describes the use of diverse phenotyping techniques for applied crop research, with an emphasis on the methods commonly used at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT). The manual provides guidance on the accurate and reliable measurement of physiological traits throughout the wheat crop cycle....
CIMMYT, 2012. — 174 p. — ISBN: 978-970-648-181-8. Plant improvement has relied heavily on modifying the phenotype of crops and will continue to do so, at least until a much more comprehensive understanding is achieved of the genetic basis of adaptation among elite cultivars. This first book lays out the theoretical basis for phenotyping as well as briefly addressing molecular...
Mexico: International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), 2001. — 240 p. ISBN: 970-648-077-3. This book is a practical guide to the application of physiology in wheat breeding, which brings together in one volume the working knowledge of a broad range of experts in salinity, drought, cold, waterlogging, micronutrients, and other key topics. Brief theoretical...
Elsevier Science B.V., 2003. — 280 p. — (Developments in Plant Genetics and Breeding, 7). ISBN: 0 444 505857. Genetic diversity is one of the main resources sustaining human life. Food security largely depends on the availability and utilization of this diversity, which is of strategic importance for countries and companies. Conservation and utilization of biodiversity is thus...
