Reviews: “A LANDMARK GLOSSARY OF PRODIGIOUS SCOPE. A highlight of the book is the large list of crop plants by common and scientific names. Another feature is a large collection of schematics showing reproductive biology, plant breeding methods, field designs, and more. STUDENTS WILL WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS BOOK and have ready access to it.”
-Calvin O. Qualser, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus, Division of Agricultural and Natural Resources, University of California, Davis
“A VALUABLE DESK REFERENCE for plant breeders, geneticists, and students of these disciplines. I was impressed with the wide range of terms in the glossary and with the other information related to crop cytogenetics breeding, and taxonomy. Almost any conceivable term related to these disciplines is defined…I was especially impressed with Schlegel’s treatment of nomenclature for wheat cytogenetics stocks.”
-Eric N. Jellen, Ph.D, Associate Professor of Cytogenetics, Department of Plant and Animal Sciences, Brigham Young University
“Brings a diversity of terminology together…ranging from the agricultural through breeding botany, biochemistry genetics, and cytology to molecular biology…INCLUDES A SUBSTANTIAL COMPENDIUM OF TABLES AND ILLUSTRATIVE FIGURES, which certainly adds values and will distinguish this from its competitors.”
-Robert Koebner, Ph.D, Senior Scientist, Johan Innes Centre, Norwich, United Kingdom
“I am sure that this book will soon become AN IMPORTANT REFERENCE for students and researchers engaged in plant breeding work. Professor Schlegel has successfully completed the extremely difficult task of gathering in a single volume all of the practical terms in the vast field of plant breeding.”
-Dr. Ivelin Y. Pantchev, Assistant Professor, Department of Biochemistry, Sofia University, Bulgaria
Description: The Encyclopedic Dictionary of Plant Breeding and Related Subjects is the first comprehensive book that contains clear and useful definitions of the terms associated with plant breeding and related scientific/technological disciplines. This well-organized guide defines all of the jargon surrounding this ever-evolving topic and provides helpful tables, examples, and breeding schemes to make the data easy to access and utilize. You’ll also find a list of crops, weeds, and other important plants that includes common names, scientific descriptions, chromosome numbers, genome constitution, DNA content, and more.
