Plant breeding is the science of changing the traits of plants in order to produce desired characteristics. [1] It is used to improve the quality of plant products for use by humans and animals. [2] The goals of plant breeding are to produce crop varieties that boast unique and superior traits for a variety of applications.
Cross-pollination, where pollen from one plant can only fertilize a different plant; Asexual propagation (e.g. runners from strawberry plants) where the new plant is genetically identical to its parent; Apomixis (self-cloning), where seeds are produced asexually and the new plant is genetically identical to its parent
The Plant Journal is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of plant science published by Wiley-Blackwell for the Society for Experimental Biology. It was established in 1991 and is currently edited by Katherine J. Denby .
Annual Review of Plant Biology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Annual Reviews. It was first published in 1950 as the Annual Review of Plant Physiology . Sabeeha Merchant has been the editor since 2005, making her the longest-serving editor in the journal's history after Winslow Briggs (1973–1993).
Several scientific journal articles [10] [11] [12] have explored ideas surrounding open source plant breeding, genetic variation, and intellectual property. OSSI was highlighted in Rachel Cernansky's piecem "How 'Open Source' Seed Producers from the US to India are Changing Global Food Production", originally published in Ensia magazine, and ...
New Breeding Techniques (NBT), also named New Plant Engineering Techniques, are a suite of methods that could increase and accelerate the development of new traits in plant breeding. [1] These new techniques, often involve 'genome editing' whose intention is to modify DNA at specific locations within the plants' genes so that new traits and ...
Plants is a peer-reviewed open-access scientific journal that covers various areas of plant biology, including cellular biology, molecular biology, genetics, and ecology. It is published by MDPI and was established in 2011. The editor-in-chief is Clive Dilantha Fernando (University of Manitoba).
The Plant Review, published quarterly by the Royal Horticultural Society, is a 68-page magazine [1] containing "fascinating in-depth articles for everyone who loves plants". [2] Its authoritative articles are written by acknowledged experts on plant-related subjects, and include plant profiles, horticulture , botany and the development of ...
