This book,
Plant Breeding, has it bases in an earlier text entitled
An Introduction to Plant Breeding
by Jack Brown and Peter Caligari, first published in 2008. The
challenges facing today’s plant breeders have never been more
overwhelming, yet the prospects to contribute significantly to global
food security and farmers’ quality of life have never been more exciting
and fulfilling. Despite this there has been a worrying decline in
public funding for plant breeding-related research and support for
international centers of germplasm development and crop improvement.
In part, this has resulted in a serious reduction in the number of young
people interested in devoting their professional careers to plant
breeding as well as the number of universities offering plant breeding
courses or conducting relevant research in plant breeding.
