It was not until the re-encounter with Mendel's discoveries thousands of years later, the genetic basis of breeding was understood. Developments following have provided further insight into how genes acting alone or in concert with other genes and the environment, result in a particular phenotype.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Abaxial to Zymogram, the third edition of \u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDictionary of Plant Breeding\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e contains clear and useful definitions of the terms associated with plant breeding and related scientific\/technological disciplines. It defines jargon; provides helpful tables, examples, and breeding schemes; and includes a list of crop plants with salient details. Packed with data and organized to make that data easy to access, this revised and expanded reference provides comprehensive coverage of the latest discoveries in cytogenetics, molecular genetics, marker-assisted selection, experimental gene transfer, CRISPR technology, seed sciences, crop physiology, and genetically modified crops. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a comprehensive list of technical terms used in plant breeding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores the historical development of crop improvement\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses applications of molecular genetics and biotechnology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes numerous figures, drawings, tables, and schemes supplementing the glossary\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA complex subject, plant breeding draws from many scientific and technological disciplines, often making it difficult to know the precise meanings of many terms and to accurately interpret specific concepts. As in the previous editions, this dictionary unifies concepts by including the specific terms of plant breeding and terms that are adjusted from other disciplines. Drawing on Rolf Schlegel's 50 years of experience, the book provides an encyclopedic list of commonly used technical terms that reflect the latest developments in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRolf H.
