Molecular Plant Breeding and Genome Editing Tools for Crop Improvement

Offers an interdisciplinary approach to crop breeding through genetics. Featuring coverage of a broad range of topics including software, molecular markers, and plant variety identification, this book is designed for agriculturalists, biologists, engineers, advocates, policymakers, researchers, academics, and students.

Crescatorii de plante au folosit agenti mutageni pentru a crea variabilitate pentru utilizarea lor in imbunatatirea culturilor. Cu toate acestea, aplicarea agentilor mutageni are propriile sale dezavantaje, cum ar fi nespecificitatea si natura aleatorie, efectul simultan asupra unui numar mare de gene si inducerea aberatiilor cromozomiale.
