Overview
The book Plant breeding: Fundamentals and Applications use various techniques to improve the genetic composition of crops. The effectiveness of these methods depends on the plant's physical, physiological, and hereditary traits, which influence the ability to select desirable characteristics and achieve the desired improvements in crop performance and yield.
