Horticultural plant breeding[electronic resource] /Thomas J. Orton. - London, United Kingdom ;Academic Press, an imprint of Elsevier,2020. - 1 online resource (x, 400 p.) :ill. (some col.)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

I. Elements and underpinnings of plant breeding. The context of plant breeding ; Review of genetics (from the perspective of a plant breeder ; Engineered population structures ; Mass selection and the basic plant breeding algorithm ; Breeding objectives ; Germplasm and genetic variability ; Enhancement of germplasm ; Improvement of selection effectiveness ; Natural mating systems and controlled mating ; Cultivar testing and seed production ; Protection of proprietary plant germplasm -- II. Breeding methods. The pedigree method ; Other breeding methods for self pollinated plant species ; Breeding methods for outcrossing plant species: i. History of corn breeding and open pollinated populations ; ii. Hybrid cultivars ; iii. Asexual propagation ; The backcross method ; Breeding for disease and insect resistance.

"Horticultural Plant Breeding is a complete and comprehensive resource for the development of new cultivars or clones of horticultural crops. It covers the basic theories that underpin plant breeding and applies Mendelian, quantitative and population inheritance practices in smaller populations where the individual plant has high value. Specific traditional breeding methods are also covered, with an emphasis on how these methods are adapted for horticultural species. In addition, the integration of biotechnologies with traditional breeding methodologies is explored, with an emphasis on specific applications for fruits, vegetables and ornamental crop species. Presented in focused sections, Horticultural Plant Breeding addresses historical perspectives and context, and genetics as a critical foundation of plant breeding. It highlights treatments of the various components of breeding programs, such as breeding objectives, germplasm, population engineering, mating systems, enhanced selection methods, established breeding methods applicable to inbreeding and outcrossing situations, and post-breeding activities."--Provided by publisher.
