While retaining the current blend of theory and practical application, this second edition of Plant Breeding is a completely revised and updated new edition of a popular book. This expanded edition has the additional benefit of input from a third author, Hugo Campos from agricultural company Monsanto, who has considerable experience working in plant breeding with commercial companies. New chapters entitled Complimentary Approaches to Plant Breeding, Broadening the Genetic Base and Developments in Plant Breeding further bring current research up to date. This is essential reading for all upper level students studying plant breeding and professional plant breeders.
