Plant Breeding

Plant Breeding as a book category covers the science and practice of improving crop and ornamental plants through the manipulation of heredity and selection. Titles range from foundational texts on genetics, quantitative inheritance, and reproductive biology to practical manuals on hybridization, selection methods, seed production, and cultivar development. The category also includes modern topics such as marker-assisted selection, genomic selection, mutation breeding, polyploidy, transgenic approaches, and genome editing (e.g., CRISPR), plus breeding program design, statistical and computational methods, and case studies in crop improvement. Books may address goals like increased yield, quality, pest and disease resistance, abiotic stress tolerance, and sustainability, and they target audiences from students and researchers to plant breeders, agronomists, seed industry professionals, and policy makers. Historical perspectives, ethical and regulatory discussions, and regional breeding strategies are also commonly found within the category.
