Description
The "Glossary of Plant Breeding" offers a comprehensive compilation of key terms and concepts integral to the field of plant breeding, from its historical roots to the modern techniques of molecular biology. Beginning as an art practiced by early naturalists and farmers, plant breeding evolved significantly following the rediscovery of Mendel’s laws of heredity. With advancements in quantitative genetics and molecular biology, the field now includes cutting-edge techniques such as marker-assisted selection (MAS). This glossary serves as an invaluable resource for students, teachers, and researchers, offering clear explanations and historical context for each term. It’s especially helpful for those preparing for academic or research interviews.
