The goal of plant breeding is to effectively and efficiently select for the best phenotypes leading to the development of improved cultivars. The objectives for this review are to describe and ...

This comprehensive book covers the underlying scientific principles, state of the art technologies and methodologies of plant mutagenesis. It covers historical development and commonly used ...

The use of various mutagens to generate genetic variation in crop plants has a history almost as long as that of conventional breeding. Induction of variability by irradiation of barley seeds with ...

Corn is one of the world's most important crops, critical for food, feed, and industrial applications. In 2023, corn production in China alone accounted for 41% of total crop production, highlighting ...

(1) IN the “Principles of Botany” the authors have introduced an innovation that offers definite advantages, and promises to be as suitable for practical work as for lecturing. The book is apportioned ...

IN a recent issue of NATURE (138, 972; 1936) there appeared a letter directing attention to the neglect of genetics by British universities. The letter was received with the apathy characteristic of ...

For centuries, farmers have bred plants for traits such as taste, resilience and yield. The development of Next-Generation Sequencing, a visual technology, utilizing fluorescence imaging to explore ...

Plant breeding is the purposeful manipulation of plant species in order to create desired genotypes and phenotypes for specific purposes. This manipulation involves either controlled pollination, ...

The University of Florida will now host the USDA-funded Breeding Insight program. Breeding Insight uses AI and advanced computing to accelerate the development of new crops and animal breeds. UF was ...

AI-driven plant breeding accelerates trait identification for climate adaptation and food security, but risks inequality and environmental harm. Democratic control of these technologies are vital for ...

A team of scientists led by a horticulture professor who leads a pome fruit (apples and pears) breeding program, found that public plant breeding programs are seeing decreases in funding and personnel ...
