Overview of past, present, and emerging methods and techniques to develop improved new cultivars, or varieties, of plants, particularly crop plants. Topics include both classical and molecular tools for plant breeding, genetic analysis of traits, application of molecular markers, concepts and techniques of tissue culture, gene transfer, seed production, intellectual property, risks, and case studies of breeding the most important crops.
