Sobre IBD

Horticulture is the study of plant production techniques that are aimed at intensive cultivation, high-yielding variety crops and plant propagation. Plant breeding concentrates on the growing of plants that have favorable characteristics for longevity and improved yields. Horticulture and plant breeding are important sectors of the food industry. Modern plant breeding creates transgenic plants through genetic modification. High standards are kept in selecting the right species for genetic modification. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to plant breeding and horticulture. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. Students, researchers, experts and all associated with this field will benefit alike from this book. 3
