Covers the one-locus model of genetic effects, modes of reproduction, and population structures.
A major update in Chapter 11 covers predicting performance using genomewide markers, which is now a standard practice for increasing genetic gain by shortening breeding cycles.
Focusing on the practical application of quantitative genetics, this edition integrates modern genomic tools into classical breeding strategies to improve complex traits like yield and disease resistance. Key Concepts in the 3rd Edition
Examines selection methods such as pedigree, testcross, and recurrent selection.
This chapter discusses the breeding strategies for abiotic stress tolerance, including drought tolerance, heat tolerance, and cold hardiness.
