内容説明
This text demonstrates the scientific principles behind plant breeding. It integrates plant breeding, population genetics, quantitative genetics, probability theory and statistics to provide an objective basis for plant selection and breeding. This book should be of interest to plant scientists, plant breeders, upper level and MSc students of plant sciences, plant breeding, genetics, and population biology.
