Physiological breeding I: Interdisciplinary approaches to improve crop adaptation (wheat)

Back to: Books 2012

Published by CIMMYT, this book outlines the theoretical basis for phenotyping, and touches on molecular breeding and crop management − both of which have implications for phenotyping and physiological traits. Part I below has four main sections: i) improving yield and other target traits ii) phenotyping iii) molecular markers and their application, and, iv) sustainable cropping systems.

GCP was one of the the funders for CIMMYT's physiological breeding initiatives that are the basis of this book, which is presented below in e-book format
