DOWNLOAD EBOOKArguably one of the oldest scientific traditions, plant breeding began in Neolithic times, with methods as simple as saving the seeds of desirable plants and sowing them later. It was not until the re-encounter with Mendel’s discoveries thousands of years later that the genetic basis of breeding was understood. Developments since then have provided further insight into how genes acting alone, or in concert with other genes and the environment, result in a particular phenotype. From Abaxial to Zymogram, the Dictionary of Plant Breeding contains clear and useful definitions of the terms associated with plant breeding and related scientific/technological disciplines. This second edition of a bestseller defines jargon, provides helpful tables, examples, and breeding schemes, and includes a list of crop plants with salient details. Packed with data and organized to make that data easy to access, this revised and expanded reference provides comprehensive coverage of the latest discoveries in cytogenetics, molecular genetics, marker-assisted selection, experimental gene transfer, seed sciences, crop physiology, and genetically modified crops. A complex subject, plant breeding draws from many scientific and technological disciplines, often making it difficult to know the precise meanings of many terms and to accurately interpret specific concepts. Most dictionaries available are highly specific and fragmentary. As in the previous edition, this dictionary unifies concepts by including the specific terms of plant breeding and terms that are adjusted from other disciplines. Drawing on the author’s 30 years of experience, the dictionary provides an encyclopedic list of commonly used technical terms that reflect the latest developments in the field.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom Abaxial to Zymogram, make sense out of the confusing terminology of plant breeding! The Encyclopedic Dictionary of Plant Breeding and Related Subjects is the first comprehensive book that contains clear and useful definitions of the terms associated with plant breeding and related scientific/technological disciplines. This well-organized guide defines all of the jargon surrounding this ever-evolving topic and provides helpful tables, examples, and breeding schemes to make the data easy to access and utilize. It also includes a list of crops, weeds, and other important plants that includes common names, scientific descriptions, chromosome numbers, genome constitution, DNA content, and other data where available. From the author: “Until now, it has been difficult to find the precise meaning of many terms and to accurately interpret the specific concepts of plant breeding. Most dictionaries and glossaries available have been highly specific or fragmentary, and no attempt has been made to provide a comprehensive compilation of plant breeding terms. My intention in the creation of this book was to include not only the terms of the present, but also some of the terms used during the long history of plant breeding. In order to serve students, teachers, and research workers as well as plant breeders and seed producers, this book is supplemented by breeding schemes, tables, examples, and a list of crop plants including some details.” The Encyclopedic Dictionary of Plant Breeding and Related Subjects is an ideal single source for precise definitions of the terms used in: agronomy horticulture forestry seed production genetics, molecular genetics, population genetics, and cytogenetics biotechnology biochemistry mutagenesis biometry botany cytology ecology plant evolution laboratory technologies If you make the Encyclopedic Dictionary of Plant Breeding and Related Subjects a part of your collection, you'll find yourself, your colleagues, and your students referring to it again and again.
