{"product_id":"plant-breeding-and-genetics-kiara-woods-9781639877522","title":"Plant Breeding and Genetics: A Molecular Approach","description":"Plant breeding or plant genetics refers to the application of genetic principles for producing new breeds of plants that are more useful to humans. It deals with heredity in plants, mechanisms of hereditary transmission, and variation of inherited characteristics. Genomic selection is one the emerging methods of molecular breeding used for crop improvement. This method assists in the identification of superior genotypes with higher breeding value in segregating breeding populations. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is an another molecular breeding method in which morphological, biochemical or DNA markers are used for indirect selection of a genetic determinant or determinants of a trait of interest. Some of the desirable traits include disease resistance, tolerance of abiotic stress, productivity, and quality. This book includes some of the vital pieces of works being conducted across the world, on various topics related to plant genetics and molecular breeding. Scientists and students actively engaged in plant breeding and genetics research will find it full of crucial and unexplored concepts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kiara Woods\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1639877525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639877522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Murphy \u0026amp; Moore Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.56d","brand":"Kiara Woods","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44302141554943,"sku":"9781639877522","price":157.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ee307f3-c35a-4c47-9fef-1c0036e72a69.jpg?v=1695159748","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plant-breeding-and-genetics-kiara-woods-9781639877522","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
