The Effect of Selection Upon Certain Physical Characters in the Corn Plant (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781149916544)

"The Effect of Selection Upon Certain Physical Characters in the Corn Plant" explores the principles of selective breeding as applied to corn cultivation. This scientific study, originally published in 1909, details experiments and observations on how specific physical traits in corn plants respond to selective pressures. It provides insights into the methodologies used in early 20th-century agricultural research. This book will appeal to readers interested in the history of agricultural science, botany, and the evolution of plant breeding techniques. The meticulous approach of the researchers provides a valuable case study for understanding the genetic modification of crops.
