: How breeders use DNA testing to select the best plants at the seedling stage, saving years of field trials.
: The use of RFLPs, SSRs, and SNPs to track genetic variation. Molecular Plant Breeding (Cabi)
The book, primarily authored by , bridges the gap between theoretical molecular biology and practical field breeding. It details the tools and techniques used to identify, manipulate, and track specific genes that control important agricultural traits like yield, disease resistance, and climate resilience. Key areas covered include: : How breeders use DNA testing to select
: The development and evaluation of genetically modified (GM) crops. Why It Is Significant primarily authored by
: High-throughput technologies that allow for the study of an organism's entire genetic makeup.
