Principles of Plant Breeding offers a comprehensive and contemporary understanding of the genetic foundations and practical strategies of crop improvement. The book explores centres of origin, agro-biodiversity, genetic resources, and the principles governing self- and cross-pollinated crops. It systematically covers genetic variability, heritability, selection methods, hybrid breeding, mutation breeding, and stress tolerance, integrating classical breeding concepts with modern biotechnological approaches. Designed for students, researchers, and professionals in agriculture and plant sciences, this book serves as a valuable academic resource for sustainable crop improvement, food security, and climate-resilient agricultural development.
The analytical lens employed throughout this book is distinctive and exceptionally penetrating. The author's capacity for synthetic thought delivers profound, integrative insights that resolve longstanding theoretical anomalies within the field. This high level of critical synthesis is truly remarkable.
