Principles of plant genetics and breeding / George Acquaah. - Third edition. - Hoboken, New York, NY : Wiley, c2021. - xxvii, 813p. : ill. ; 28cm.
Includes index.
History of Plant Breeding -- Introduction to Concepts of Population Genetics -- Introduction to Quantitative Genetics -- Introduction to Reproduction -- Hybridization -- Clonal Propagation and in Vitro Culture -- Variation: Types, Origin and Scale -- Plant Domestication -- Plant Genetic Resources -- Yield and Morphological Traits -- Quality Traits -- Environmental Stress Factors -- Breeding for Resistance to Diseases and Insect Pests -- Breeding for Resistance to Abiotic Stresses -- Breeding Self-Pollinated Species -- Breeding Cross-Pollinated Species -- Breeding Hybrid Cultivars -- Breeding Clonally Propagated Species -- Molecular Markers -- Mapping of Genes -- Gene Sequencing And Omics Technologies -- Marker Assisted Selection -- Genomic Selection and Genome Wide Association Studies -- Mutagenesis In Plant Breeding -- Polyploidy In Plant Breeding -- Breeding Genetically Modified Plants -- Genome Editing Technologies -- Paradigm Shift In Plant Breeding and other New Breeding Technologies -- Bioinformatics in Plant Breeding -- Performance Evaluation for Cultivar Release -- Seed Certification and Commercial Seed Release -- Regulatory and Legal Issues in Plant Breeding -- Value-Driven Concepts and Social Concerns -- International Plant Breeding Efforts -- Breeding Wheat -- Breeding Corn -- Breeding Rice -- Breeding Sorghum -- Breeding of Soybean -- Breeding Peanut -- Breeding Potato -- Breeding Cotton -- Breeding Tomato.
"Principles of Plant Genetics and Breeding, 3rd Edition introduces both classical and molecular tools for plant breeding. Topics such as biotechnology in plant breeding, intellectual property, risks, emerging concepts (decentralized breeding, organic breeding), and more are addressed in the updated edition of this text. Industry highlight boxes are included throughout the text to contextualize the information given through the professional experiences of plant breeders. The final chapters provide a useful reference on breeding the largest and most common crops. New to this edition - A more comprehensive list of molecular markers: Allozyme, RFLPs, RAPD, SSR, ISSR, DAMD, SCoT, AFLP, SNPs, ESTs, SCAR, DArT, RAMP. A table of comparison of these markers will be included. New plant breeding techniques will be discussed, including - (NPBTs): Zinc finger nuclease, TALE nuclease (TALENs), Oligonucleotide directed mutagenesis (ODM), Cisgenesis and intragenesis, RNA-dependent DNA methylation (RdDM), Grafting on GM stock, Reverse breeding, Agro-infiltration, Genome editing (CRSPR-Cas system). Section on breeding selected crops will be removed (based on feedback from readers/reviewers). Industry highlights within the main text will highlight applications of some breeding methods in other chapters"--
