دانلود کتاب Plant Breeding and Farmer Participation

This book provides a comprehensive description and assessment of the use of participatory plant breeding in developing countries. It is aimed at plant breeders, social scientists, students and practitioners interested in learning more about its use with the hope that they all will find a common ground to discuss ways in which plant breeding can be beneficial to all and can contribute to alleviate poverty.ContentsForeword Abbreviations and acronyms ContributorsChapter 1 Crop domestication and the first plant breedersChapter 2 Theory and application of plant breeding for quantitative traitsChapter 3 Main stages of a plant breeding programmeChapter 4 Methodologies for priority settingChapter 5 Methodologies for generating variability.
